Hard to believe that "Pistol" Pete Maravich has been dead for 20 years. He suffered a heart attack 20 years ago today while warming up for a pickup basketball game.
At LSU, he averaged 44.2 points a game over his three-year career and was an NBA All-Star, averaging 24.2 points a game. He retired in 1980 after a leg injury made it impossible for him to play at his desired level.
Here is a video tribute to "Pistol" Pete. RIP "Floppy Socks"

He truly did pave the way for today's game. His pizazz and uniqueness added so much flair to the game. It really is a shame that I did not get to see him play. Im sure that those who did will never forget the floppy socks and tousled hair that is Pete "Pistol" Maravich.
