Despite many impressive accomplishments, JoJo White is somewhat forgotten today.
Like Duke product Jayson Tatum, White went from St. Louis to the Boston Celtics, but in his case, he played collegiately for the Kansas Jayhawks, losing to Texas Western in the 1966 tournament in double overtime. White actually hit a shot that would have derailed the Miners but he was ruled out of bounds.
He was a member of the 1968 Olympic team, one that was boycotted by African-American players like Lew Alcindor (now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and not expected to win gold. It did anyway.
As a Celtic, like John Havlicek, he was a key figure as Boston moved past the Bill Russell era, helping Boston to win titles in 1974 and 1976.
