John Havlicek Motivational Speaker Fee | Booking Agent Contact

John Havlicek, often referred to as "Hondo," is one of the most iconic figures in NBA history, known for his incredible versatility and relentless work ethic. A swingman who could play both guard and forward positions, Havlicek spent his entire professional career with the Boston Celtics from 1962 to 1978. His ability to excel on both ends of the court made him a cornerstone of the Celtics' dynasty during the 1960s and 1970s. Havlicek's stamina and hustle were legendary, and he was often praised for his ability to outlast opponents, playing at a high level for extended minutes.

Havlicek's career is highlighted by his eight NBA championships, a feat that places him among the most successful players in the history of the league. He is one of only three players to have an undefeated 8-0 record in NBA Finals series, a testament to his ability to perform under pressure. One of the most memorable moments of his career came in the 1965 Eastern Conference Finals, when he famously stole the ball in the closing seconds of Game Seven, securing a victory for the Celtics and cementing his place in NBA lore. This play is still regarded as one of the greatest defensive moments in basketball history.

In addition to his championship success, Havlicek was a 13-time NBA All-Star and earned numerous individual accolades throughout his career. He was named to the All-NBA First Team four times and the All-NBA Second Team seven times, showcasing his consistency as one of the league's top players. Defensively, Havlicek was equally dominant, being named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team five times and the All-Defensive Second Team three times. His leadership on the court was also recognized, as he served as the Celtics' captain from 1969 until his retirement in 1978.

Following his retirement, Havlicek's legacy was further solidified when the Boston Celtics retired his number 17 jersey, ensuring that his contributions to the franchise would never be forgotten. In 1984, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, a fitting honor for a player who had such a profound impact on the game. Havlicek's combination of skill, leadership, and determination has made him one of the most respected figures in basketball history.
