all I can say is that no one else has ever made me say "Wow!" like Maravich did. He looked like he was having fun, putting on a show, and not giving a shit about where he would be drafted or how much he would make. There aren't many players in the major sports that people would PAY to see, but he was one of them. Others: Brady, Floyd Little, Gretsky, Bench, Rice, Pele, Jordan, Bird, Sayers, Elway, Ruth, Palmer, Trevino, Tiger, DiMaggio, Jim Thorpe, Nolan Ryan. I'm sure there are others not listed. But these guys sold tickets!!
