RIP John 'Hondo' Havlicek

[Alphonse_]

An all time top five player of the greatest franchise in NBA, and legend of the game to boot, terribly sad news.

That amazing 'And Havlicek steals the ball, IT'S ALL OVER' footage called by the legendary Johnny Most I have seen about 1000 times.

As a life long Celtics fan, I have Honda on our third GOAT list (after Russell and Larry Legend)

Really wish I had the opportunity to have seen him play.

I know he was 79, but I am really gutted by this news (you always think your sporting heroes are immortal), hope the Celtics can do us proud against Milwaukee in his memory

Bill Simmons covered him pretty well. Sounds like a very underrated player overall.
