Pete lived an amazing life with a defective heart. The lesson is to live your life fully now, today, God, family, and friends.

i live directly across the Ohio River from his hometown of Aliquippa, PA.
The biographical sketch of Pistol Pete in Bill Simmons' "The Book of Basketball" is terrific. Nice to get an outside perspective on him.

He shot Walt Frazier's frickin eyes clean out one night in the NBA. The media was talkin shite about how Walt Frazier, who was the best defender in the NBA was going to shut Pete down. Pete made poor Walt a poor victim of circumstance that night,

He died doing what he loved, heart attack on the basketball court, at age 38.
I think he was actually 40 when he died, but your point is well-taken.

Best there ever was. Best there ever will be.
Not because he was a TIGER, but because he was the PISTOL.
