Autographed John Havlicek Photo - & Bill Russel Dual Steal Hotizontal BW 16x20

Product Description

Five-time NBA MVP and 12-time NBA All-Star Bill Russell was the cornerstone of the Celtics dynasty in the 1960's. Russell, who averaged 15.1 points per game, was known as much for his ability to score as for his uncanny shot blocking abilities. Russell also had 21,620 rebounds in his career. Bill Russell has hand signed this NBA basketball. Trying to keep up with John Havlicek became the daunting task of all his opponents. Blessed with height, endurance, an ability to score and the ability to play both forward and guard earned him recognition as potentially the best player in NBA history, according to Sports Illustrated. Havlicek played pivotal roles in two generations of Celtics teams, where he came off the bench during Boston's dynasty years in the 1960s, while becoming a trusted veteran on a young team in the 1970s. Probably the most remembered play in Havlicek's career came when he deflected Hal Greer's inbounds pass with 5 seconds left in the seventh game of the 1965 Eastern Division Finals, sparking broadcaster Johnny Most's famous "Havlicek stole the ball. Havlicek stole the ball" call. John Havlicek and Bill Russell have each hand-signed this 16x20 photograph of that awesome play, which comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity. Comes fully certified with Certificate of Authenticity and tamper-evident hologram. Also backed by SportsMemorabilia.com's Authenticity Guarantee.
