In Boston Celtics fans' minds he was a superstar even though he played the 6th man role. Today he would be a mega superstar that would make Lebron look bad.

I'm an old guy, so that is my prism of viewing things, The way I viewed it, it was Russell number 6 and Havlicek number 17. John Havlicek was one of the greatest to ever play on an NBA floor.
I feel the pain of all Boston Celtic fans, my condolences to all you now grown kids that lost a part of your childhood today.
I hate losing my heroes as well, it hurts.

Havlicek was a legend even in his playing days. he routinely ran opposing players off the court with his stamina and made the clutch shots.
He is one of only 3 NBA players that are 8-0 in NBA championship series. He as well as Russell were pure winners. Larry Bird reminded me of Honda when he came along.
I can still name most of the players from those championship years in the 60's. Would bring my transistor radio with earplug to school to listen to games.

Never much of a basketball fan but I do remember Havacheck and his 6th man role from a sports mash-up.

Not that you asked, but I loved the game in his era, currently I couldn't give a rats ass about it.
