In addition to winning eight titles, Havlicek is the Celtics' all-time leading scorer with 26,395 points and he was named to the All-Star team 13 times.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREJohn Havlicek, who won eight NBA championships with the Boston Celtics and was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1984, died Thursday. He was 79."His defining traits as a player were his relentless hustle and wholehearted commitment to team over self," the team said.
The Celtics were dominant, and Havlicek’s selflessness defined Celtics basketball. He also played a significant part in one of the most famous plays in Celtics history. Born in Martins Ferry, Ohio, Havlicek excelled in basketball, football and baseball in high school. He attended Ohio State and teamed up with Jerry Lucas and Bob Knight to win the 1960 NCAA championship.
"If you look at the teams we had, no one ever led anything statistically. It was very well balanced and, at times, we would have seven or eight guys averaging in double figures. The thing that I miss today is the running game. I don't think they run as much today. I think that's the easiest way to score."
