John Havlicek 1960's Boston Celtics Road Jersey

Havlicek was drafted by both the Celtics and the NFL's Cleveland Browns in 1962. After competing briefly as a wide receiver in the Browns' training camp that year, he focused his energies on playing for the Celtics, with head coach Red Auerbach later describing him as the "guts of the team". Known for incredible stamina, his competitors faced an enormous challenge in simply keeping up with him. Havlicek is the Celtics all-time leader in points and games played, scoring 26,395 points (20.8 points per game, 6th all-time in points scored in the NBA), and playing in 1,270 games (4th all-time). He became the first player to score 1,000 points in 16 consecutive seasons, with his best season coming in 1970-71 NBA season when he averaged 28.9 points per game. Havlicek shares the NBA Finals single-game record for most points in an overtime period (9 in a May 10, 1974 game vs. the Milwaukee Bucks), and was named that year's NBA Finals MVP. A 13-time NBA All-Star, Havlicek retired in 1978 and his number 17 jersey was immediately retired at the Boston Garden. This mid to late 1960's Boston Celtics road dureen jersey was worn by Hall of Famer John Havlicek. On the left tail of the jersey is the "Wilson" label with the size "44." Across the front is the name "Celtics" and below is the player number "17." This number appears on the back of the jersey as well. All the letters and numbers are made of white tackle twill. The jersey shows solid game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. LOAs from MEARS (A7) and Grey Flannel.
