Although best remembered for stealing the ball during the 1965 NBA Eastern Conference Finals against the Philadelphia 76ers, Havlicek was a mainstay with the Celtics for 16 seasons during which he would be a part of 8 NBA championship teams on both offense and defense. Havlicek bridged the generations playing with Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, Dave Cowens and Jo-Jo White becoming a Boston sports legend and one of the greatest NBA players who ever lived. R.I.P.
