YouTube Gold: Havlicek Stole The Ball!
John Havlicek is one of the greatest and most unusual players in NBA history, and also one of the most underrated.
That sounds like a contradiction, but it’s not. People truly don’t understand who great he was, and that includes a lot of the people who saw him play.
We don’t know if anyone ever really studied Havlicek’s physiology, but it was crazy. In this video, former teammate Sam Jones said that not only did Havlicek never get tired, he didn’t even start sweating for 10 minutes. This is in the NBA, against teams filled with great athletes, and of course, Boston was a fast-breaking team. Add guts and brilliant instincts to the mix, and you have Havlicek.
