On a day like today, we honor Boston Celtics Hall of Fame point guard Jo Jo White‘s legendary career with the storied franchise, the former University of Kansas standout helping to hang two banners in Boston.
In his time with the Celtics, he also won an NBA finals Most Valuable Player award, made seven All-Star teams and was elected to three All-NBA teams among many other accolades. His career in Boston spanned 10 seasons. White set the franchise record of games played without one having been missed, a total of 488 consecutive games played. After his career ended, his No. 10 was retired by the team, and he would be elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2015.
In celebration of his legendary career, let’s take a look at Jo Jo White’s Hall of Fame highlights courtesy of the NBA’s YouTube channel.
