Jo Jo White 1946-2018
Really saddened by the passing of Celtics legend Jo Jo White. His accomplishments included:
- Olympic Gold Medal Winner
- 7 NBA All-Star Teams
- 2 NBA Championships
- 1976 NBA Championship MVP
- NBA Hall of Fame Inductee
- Number 10 Retired by the Boston Celtics
More impressive than any of the above is the fact you'll never hear a single negative word about Joseph Henry White the man. Because he was a "gentleman" in every sense of the word. Also forgotten about Jo Jo White is that after college he first served in the Marine Corps before being able to join the Celtics to play in the NBA.
He will be missed.
