One of the best when white guys were the Celtics stars....Cousey, Havlicek, Heinsohn, while the black guys Sam and K.C. Jones, Sach Sanders, and Bill Russell had to put up with a racist Boston crowd. I loved those old Celtics, hated Wilt....back when the St. Louis Hawks had a team....a good team.

“John Havlicek was a wonderful friend who represented the best of the NBA. He described himself as a man of routine and discipline – a humble approach that produced extraordinary results, including eight NBA championships with the Boston @Celtics, 13 All-Star selections and some of the most iconic moments in league history. A trusted teammate who prioritized winning, John’s passion and energy endeared him to basketball fans and made him a model for generations of NBA players. We send our deepest sympathies to John’s wife, Beth, his son, Chris, and his daughter, Jill, as well as the entire @Celtics organization.” - Sexy Gordon Hayward

Havlicek, Jerry West and Oscar Robertson were the NBA templates for driving guards when I was a kid. Hell, the Big O could do it all.
Dave Bing had the best jump shot.
