About this title

From the Publisher

"I Remember Pete Maravich" is not a biography, rather it is a compilation of candid and revealing memories of Maravich told by dozens who knew him well. Towle not only captures Maravich's extraordinary style of basketball, but also, his conversion to Christ late in his life.

From the Author

I met Maravich in late December 1987 on a Delta flight from Little Rock to Dallas. The night before we had been at the Alabama-Arkansas nonconference basketball game, Pete as a color commentator for USA Network and me as a college hoops writer for the "Fort Worth Star-Telegram." During the return flight, I went back to Pete's seat and introduced myself. We chatted briefly and exchanged business cards, and that was that. Christmas came and went, and in early January I was back in Arkansas, this time holed up in a Fayetteville hotel because I was in town covering another Arkansas game. It was there that I was watching television when an announcement was made of Maravich's death that morning. . .
