Breaking down legendary Boston Celtics small forward John Havlicek’s defense

Many contemporary fans of the Boston Celtics know little about the game of franchise legend John Havlicek, whose career ended before many fans of today were even born.

But Hondo — as Havlicek was often called — excelled at both ends of the court in every way and thrived off stealing the lunch of his opponents in particular. While he was a 13-time All-Star and 11-time All-NBA performer, Havlicek also managed to get elected to eight All-Defensive teams over the course of his long career for being a terror on the hardwood.

So, if you weren’t paying attention to such things when he was a player or you just want to get to know this Celtics legend better, watch the video embedded below put together by YouTuber 70sFan.
