Pistol Pete Maravich was not only one of the greatest basketball players of all time; his style of playing influenced an entire generation. Pete was a true superstar - but how did he get there and what made him tick? This fascinating biography traces the life and career of Pistol Pete Maravich, but more importantly, it traces the relationship between Pete and Press Maravich - Pete's father and coach. Following his short pro career, Pete became an evangelical Christian and that experience transformed him. Yet, the same qualities that made him a superstar on the court also transferred to his post-game life. Tragically, he died of a heart attack at an early age, but as the author points out - father and son shared so much through the years that it is not surprising they died within a few months of each other!
If you like sports - this is a fun biography to read about an unconventional player and his coach - his father.
