What I learned about Jazz history this offseason: Pete Maravich

The season is fast approaching. FIBA basketball is finished, the schedule is out, players are starting to flock to their team’s cities. Media day and training camp are just couple weeks away.

The funny thing about sports is how fixated we are on the present and future. Other past times and industries look more to the past but championships, playoffs, the draft, assets, etc., tend to put our sights more on the future than the past.

This offseason I looked to learn more about the history of the Jazz franchise, starting with a book long been on my shelf that I’d never finished: Pete Maravich - The Authorized Biography of Pistol Pete.
