With the slew of tributes, articles and interviews about the recent passing of Celtic legend John Havlicek, it brought up even more memories and new information I discovered and wanted to share.
Firstly for one small thing, I read a lot and watch as many old games on NBA TV, ESPN Classic and youtube as I can find to learn as much as possible about the game’s history. In doing so I came across an interesting note about Havlicek.
When John was a rookie in the 1963 NBA Finals, legendary ABC announcer Marty Glickman repeatedly called the speedy, hustling youngster “Johnny” Havlicek.
