RIP John Havlicek

[Moderator1]

John Havlicek, one of the greatest Celtics ever, dies at 79


He stole the ball.

I'm so old I saw him play. I remember most every detail, watching him vs. the Knicks at the Garden with my uncle and brother

 

[Michael_ Gee]

One of the greatest NBA players, period.

 

[qtlaw]

Damn. Great player.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Looking up his stats, he missed a total of 32 games in 16 seasons. In 1970-71, he played all,
But one game and averaged 45.4 minutes per game. The man never sat.

RIP

 

[John B. Foster]

He had incredible basketball IQ.

 

[BTExpress]

Bill Russell was set up to be the goat of Game 7 after he hit a guide wire with an inbounds pass, giving Philadelphia a chance for the winning shot with five seconds left.

But Havlicek stole the ball.

 

[Slacker]

There was no greater competitor ever, anywhere. ... RIP, Hondo.

 

[Starman]

He had incredible basketball IQ.

Yeah, he certainly did, but he was a hell of a athlete, too; fast as hell and incredible endurance. He literally ran people off the floor.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Paul Brown drafted him as a wide receiver after his senior year at Ohio State. If Havlicek hadn't
t been picked by a guy even cheaper than Red, he might have taken a different path. Good for basketball he didn't.

I am gagging at the thought of inhaling a stick of butter as if it were a popsicle. That is revolting.

RIP, ya butter nutter

Homer Simpson doesn't understand what all of the fuss is about:

Monica Seles reportedly had and addiction to butter.

Monica Seles reportedly had and addiction to butter.

is that a euphemism?

 

[Smallpotatoes]

He had some obscenely low resting heart rate but I can't remember what it was.

I thought he went to camp with the Browns and got cut. That was the year the Browns drafted Gary Collins and there was no palce on a 40 man roster for a second, tall wide receiver.

Havlicek: I just ate sticks of butter to get in shape.
