Oh yeah , forgot about the Maravich comments. The most amazing thing about Maravich was discovered after he died at a young age. The autopsy showed that one chamber of his heat was missing or non functioning. Imagine palying professional sports with a missing heart chamber!
Maravich was no way the most talented ball player. Guys like Russel , chamberlain , Bird , Johnson , those were great players. One strange one was Bill Walton. had he remained sound physically , I think he would have been considered the most talented of all time. Unfortunately , he had one healthy season as a pro player. he was fortuanet to end his carreer in Boston who for decades had had the strategy that the team would keep you in the game and a star like walton only needed to be unstoppable for the last 60 seconds when everything was on the line. In the end , Walton could not play a whole game but for the last minute , he was a defensive players worst nightmare.
