I met Pete for the first time right after his nba career ended.At that time he was not a very happy or nice guy.A few years later i had the chance to work for Pete.We worked together for about 5 days and he was a born again christan.We were working together building his home in Covington.During this week we worked together and talked quite a bit.He had changed so much since the time i had met him before.We talked LSU basketball and about his nba career.The last time i saw him he was going to Boston to play in a hall of fame game and he was still in good shape and i told him it wasnt fair that he was still so young playing against all the old guys.It was a sad day when we lost Pete.I not only consider him the best ever I thought of him as a freind

The very night of Pete's death, Dave Cowens was being interviewed on Nightline by some African-American announcer, who proceeded to ignore all of Cowens' reflections on his former teammate, and instead, kept grilling him with insults.
Example: {quote} "Well there's no doubt he was never a team player, he was just a hot dog, he was just a hot dog, right?"
And I remember it wasn't necessarily the question, but the WAY he said it to Cowens. Cowens looked like he wanted to punch the guy in the mouth. This announcer did his best to disgrace Maravich as much as he could, and never said ONE positive thing.
I wish I could remember this anal region's name, because at the time I wanted to go through the TV screen and strangle him. He would have made Louis Farrakhan look like Mr. Rogers.

The records he set in college were pretty amazing. A helluva player.

He is arguably the most famous alumnus from the high school (D.W. Daniel High School) I attended here in SC.

He had an odd condition in which one of the vessels supplying blood to his heart was not oriented the way it should have been such that when he exerted himself, the heart was physically strangled by said vessel.
My former preacher actually had the same condition but the doctors happened to see it on a random x-ray. He was the 3rd person ever to have the condition detected before it killed him.
