One of the most underated players in NBA history.
Before the now-famous 'show time' era of an LA Lakers team of Magic, Jabbar, Wilkes etc., Jo Jo White spearheaded an earlier Celtics version with him at the point plus the likes of Dave Cowens and John Havlichek doing the rebounding, running, passing, and scoring.
He was also drafted in both the NFL and MLB.
RIP to one of my most favorite of players, Jo Jo White (even though he killed my Knickerbockers more often than any Celtics star of my young fan era).
RIP.
