Pete Maravich

His 44.2 PPG college average is so far ahead of any other player that it may never be broken — Oscar Robertson (33.8) is second.

He predicted his own death in a 1974 interview — 'I don't want to play 10 years and then die of a heart attack at 40' — and died of a heart attack at age 40 in 1988.

His father Press literally designed his entire childhood around basketball mastery — Pete grew up dribbling between bus seats and tying a basketball to his wrist at night.

Was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1987 — before his premature death — a recognition of just how transcendent his career was.
