re: Pete Maravich

A bit off the topic of OP's original thread, but when Pete played for the Jazz, his older brother, Ronnie, was a co-mgr of the Tony Moran second story restaurant on the river downtown. As my frat brother was a bartender there, we used to enjoy free drinks late in the evenings & Ronnie used to join us as the restaurant was emptying. Ronnie openly bragged bout living off Pete all those yrs, that & booking big time. This was at a time in Pete's career when he had a lot of off the court issues, and many many nites Pete would come in after a game, grab a bottle of Jack Daniels,sit at the end of the bar & knock down glass after glass after glass, all by himself. Next nite he would go out & ring up 30+ points.
