Memories of JoJo White from Mark C. Bodanza's book, Make it Count

The late JoJo White has always been one of my favorite all-time Celtics, and I don't entirely know why. What I do know is that above all he was a true gentleman who also happened to be one hell of a basketball player.

All of the following blockquotes are via Mark C. Bodanza's fine biography of JoJo White, Make it Count. My first clear recollection of JoJo came during the 1968 Olympics when White, then a member of the Kansas Jayhawks, teamed with center Spencer Heywood and guard Charlie Scott during turbulent times to take the gold medal.
