Pete Maravich testimony

Following a link to a site showing some amazing shots by Pete Maravich, I got into a video of Pete giving a testimony at a1987   Billy Graham crusade. Pete spoke about how basketball, fame and money  didn't give him happiness.   Nothing satisfied him until he gave his life to Christ.

I was impressed with his eloquence but was  overwhelmed  and moved by his sincerity and emotion.

Maravich died on January 5, 1988, at 40 years of age, from a heart defect. 

For the three years he played of  LSU, Pete averaged over 44 points a game. No one else is even close to that.  His former coach,  Dale Brown, calculated that if Pete had played with the three point rule, his average would have been 57 points a game.
