Pete Maravich, who died January 4, 1988 playing in a church pickup basketball game, had no left coronary artery. His heart condition was such a rare congenital defect that cardiologists don’t even have statistics on how frequently it occurs.

he died in 1988 after suffering a heart attack during a pick up game. what's strange is that 10 years prior to his death he said "It's not like I'm gonna die in 10 years because of a heart attack"
Pretty crazy!
May he R.I.P.

I believe it was a heart attack. Pistol was amazing. Perhaps the best shooter ever to play the game.

He had a heart attack while playing basketball after he had retired from the NBA. What a fantastic player he was!
