Maravich died suddenly at age 40 during a pick-up game as a consequence of a previously undetected congenital heart defect. One of the youngest players ever inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Maravich was cited by the Hall as "perhaps the greatest creative offensive talent in history..

Had the pleasure of watching him play against Auburn and John Mengelt. Mengelt scored 60 against Bama on Feb 14, 1970, of course Pistol scored 69 vs Bama a week earlier Feb. 7, 1970 which is the second most in a game in the history of D-1 basketball.

List of players scoring 60 or more in a game.. (Pete has a few here)
60 points in a game
