The Announcers of the Hawks-Nets game just compared Korver to Pistol Pete

:biggums:

Anyone else hear that? They had some good comparisons with Teague and then dropped that one :roll:

Just as shooters, right ?

[Ariza4three]

Korver is a much better player than Pistol Pete. Pete played in a weak ass era.

[SugarHill]

Korver is probably the best sharpshooter in the league and Maravich's nickname is pistol. You shoot pistols. I see where he's coming from.

Nope... they did reference the shooting but stated "ability to hit the deep ball... and his ball handling prowess" :roll:

This had to be Jon Barry right?

[G0ATbe]

is that bad?

Pete Maravich was voted into the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. Kyle Korver has never made an all star game. It's like comparing Kendrick Perkins to Patrick Ewing.

He also said Muscala would be Hondo in the 70s. Dude was on fire!

Was all this on the ESPN telecast or one of the local coverages? If it was Jon Barry then #FireJonBarry must be rebooted...
