Pete Maravich Testimony 1987 (Billy Graham Crusade)

The following video is 9 minutes long, but definitely worth your time.  In his closing thoughts, Pistol Pete says, “I wouldn’t trade 1000 NBA Championships, 1000 Hall of Fame Rings, or 100,000,000 dollars for the joy I have in Christ.”

If I ever coach basketball, I will show his teaching video (where he displays his skills) before every practice.  I would then have the team practice what they saw and we would conclude by watching the video below.  Hopefully the team would feel the joy that is expressed by Pistol Pete regarding the gospel in contrast to the enslaving life he lived to basketball.
