No:
tony at tony-lx:~$ python3 -m pip install pygame
/usr/bin/python3: No module named pip

Hmm, apt-get install python3-pip: OK

tony at tony-lx:~$ python3 -m pip install pygame
Downloading/unpacking pygame
   Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pygame
   Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external 
pygame to allow).
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for pygame
Storing debug log for failure in /home/tony/.pip/pip.log
