RIP, Hondo. The greatest ever.

Sad news. He was the role model I tried to emulate in ancient times when I was playing in school. -

"Hondo" is John Havlicek, not the guboards Hondo._______________________________

Thank you ZN. I thought Jazz was talking about our Hondo. I'm glad he's still with us. Regarding John Havlicek of the Boston Celtics, he definitely had a tremendous influence on my game. His hustle is what I always wanted to emulate. I did like his jump shot as well. He was money!!! And I wanted to be like that. The other Boston player who influenced me a lot was Bob Cousy.Originally posted by ZagNative View PostGo Zags!!! The Best Is Yet To Come!!!Comment

1. Hondo was a rare player but never won a MVP.
2. I nearly hit the roof here as I was just shopping with our Hondo at Costco!! OMG!!!Comment

Everyone remembers him for this (which is by the way easily the most famous PBP call in NBA history):
But few remember he scored more than 26,000 points in 16 seasons (before the 3-pt line).
Added entertainment from the guy at 0:18 in the above video who took off with the ball knowing it would be worth a fortune.
Even more entertaining (and they literally ripped his jersey off):
My first basketball as a kid was a signed one by Hondo. "Don't cross your legs on defense," my dad said.
Edit: F*** Parkinson's. Took my dad and Havilecek too.Last edited by caduceus; 04-26-2019, 04:56 AM.Comment

Great comment. As a Green fan, it's a pity they never played a minute together. The original and the best. IMO, a top 10 all-timer.Originally posted by bigblahla View PostComment
