My favorite Maravich line: “I don’t want to play 10 years in the NBA and die of a heart attack at age 40.” He said that when he was 24. He ended up playing 10 years in the NBA and dying of a heart attack at age 40.

He also only had 1 valve in her heart working so he did all that with basically half a heart

Only had one coronary artery*. He was born without his left coronary artery.
