John Havlicek - A Great Loss For The Game

In basketball, movement may be the most important variable. You can pass the ball faster than you can run with it but running without it is just as important. The more you move the more variables you introduce.

And no one we can think of has ever moved better without the basketball than John Havlicek.

If you watch this clip of Havlicek, what’s striking is that he’s not overwhelming at anything - other than effort.

He never stops. He keeps moving. If he misses the shot he goes for the rebound. If there’s a break he’s in it.
