Jason WhitlockHOST
Followed Damon Bailey's whole high school career at Bedford North Lawrence.
Jason WhitlockHOST
And, and, and Bobby Knight was thought, "Hey, this guy's gonna be the next John Havlicek, or the next Jerry West, or the next great thing." And he had a good college basketball career.
Jason WhitlockHOST
Uh, I think he made All-Big Ten as a senior.
Jason WhitlockHOST
But, but he was never who Bobby Knight built him up to be.

Cowens.

It was Havlicek, the rebound.

Came out of there himself and got fouled before he hit midcourt.

That last play by Cowens was a real beauty.

The shot by Havlicek.
Johnny MostSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Is the round around there? Five to one.
Jim MurrayPANELIST
We're serious about that.
Tony MassarottiHOST
When Havlicek stole the ball against the Sixers in 1965, on the previous play, Bill Russell threw an inbound pass off of the guide wire that was holding up the backboard and deflected out of bounds, giving Philly the ball.
Tony MassarottiHOST
Without the guide wire, we never would've had that classic call from Johnny Most.
Jim MurrayPANELIST
Okay.

speaker_15AUDIENCE
Uh, for all the Celtics fans that are as old as I am, 1969 NBA Finals, game seven, little more than a minute to go, a close game.
speaker_15AUDIENCE
Don Nelson gets a pass from John Havlicek, shoots the ball 17 feet out, the ball bounces way up in the air and swishes through.
Michael FelgerHOST
That's right.
Michael FelgerHOST
'Cause that, that was the Kawhi Leonard kinda thing.
Bob LobelGUEST
Just like you.
Bob LobelGUEST
To a Celtics-Pistons game in Cobo Hall with John Havlicek playing, setting his career record and, and being on Armed Forces Radio.
Bob LobelGUEST
It's like, you know, you can only imagine being on Armed Forces Radio and this game brought to you by an Arm- you know, you do the whole reading of the thing and then you, soon you start to realize that people somewhere in Europe are listening to what you're talking about.
Bob LobelGUEST
And, uh, it was a huge deal.
Gary TanguayHOST
Okay, but we're going to get into modern day here in a minute, but one of the things I want to ask Glenn about, because Bob and I did a piece on it, and it got great response from our viewers and our listeners.
Gary TanguayHOST
I even have from a listener who disagreed with us quite a bit that I'll bring up in a minute, but we compared Larry Bird to John Havlicek.
Gary TanguayHOST
What do you think about that, Glenn?
Glenn OrdwayGUEST
I think it's a pretty good comparison.
Glenn OrdwayGUEST
I think John Havlicek probably doesn't get the respect he deserves.
Glenn OrdwayGUEST
I know Bob's been involved in this and I've been involved in it where I get calls from some media person and they want me to list my top five Celtics and you start with Russ and then you go to Larry.
Glenn OrdwayGUEST
And there are some people that keep... have a check out of it.
Alex GoldbergHOST
But, uh, you know, in the meantime, Sam, you know what you're here for.
Alex GoldbergHOST
It is Havlicek Stole the Pod, and it's time for you to steal the pod.
Alex GoldbergHOST
What do you wanna talk about? Uh, it can be, as always, basketball, life, uh, postseason baseball, uh, what you had for breakfast this morning.
Alex GoldbergHOST
The only rule is that you can't get us sued, demonetized, or generally in legal trouble.
Marques JohnsonGUEST
Rick Berry was a great distributor, ball handler as a forward.
Marques JohnsonGUEST
John Havlicek at times with the Celtics.
Marques JohnsonGUEST
Marie Stokes.
Marques JohnsonGUEST
You ever get a chance to look at some old footage of him at 6'8"? He could handle a ball, pass the ball.
