Champions Are
Chiseled Out of Stone
"A heart-wrenching true story of faith, survival, and triumph that no one could have scripted — because it actually happened."
This is the life of Gregory V. Jones, Jr. — his own story, told in full for the first time. A young man with a vision and a gift, shaped by a tough, commanding, unyielding father, and set on a path that would demand everything he had.
When Greg integrates a Caucasian school, he is rejected by his own community and subjected to cruel, agonizing treatment by teachers, principals, and fans. The threats escalate — all the way to the KKK. The pressure to break is relentless.
Through it all, woven into his journey, is a profound relationship with Pete "Pistol" Maravich — the greatest pure shooter who ever lived. A bond that transcends basketball and speaks directly to what it means to rise above the worst of what the world can throw at you.
No alcohol. No drugs. Only champion-level determination, faith, and trust in God. The Lord pulled him through. And that is the only reason this story exists to be told.
Pure Shooter is not just a sports film. It is a testament to the human spirit — and proof that champions are not born easy. They are chiseled out of stone.
