Pistol Pete Maravich
Mar 26th, 2006 by Don Ray
I just watched a special on Pistol Pete Maravich. I had all but forgotten about him. He was probably the most entertaining basketball player I ever watched. He was a true magician on the court. It saddened me today to learn that one of the greatest players to ever play the game, lived so much of his life tormented and unhappy.
I remember when he quit the game and I thought the game would never be the same again. I am glad to learn that before his death, he found the peace and serenity that he had missed for so much of his life.
Born: June 27, 1947. Died: Jan. 5, 1988.
In my book, he was the greatest basketball player that ever played.
