Pete Maravich

Maravich averaged 44.2 PPG in college without the three-point line — a record never approached in over 50 years.

He taught himself ball-handling by dribbling everywhere as a child — his father estimated he handled a basketball 6-8 hours every day.

Maravich died of heart failure during a pickup game at exactly 40 years old.

His name graces the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at LSU, where tens of thousands of Louisiana students have played and watched basketball since his era.
