Former Celtic superstar, JoJo White, died recently due to complications from benign brain tumor surgery in 2010. He was a mainstay of the Celtics teams of the 1980's, along with John Havlicek and Dave Cowens.
What many Boston fans don't know is that Red Auerbach pulled another fast one on the League in drafting White. JoJo fell to the ninth pick in the 1969 draft because he had a two-year military commitment after leaving college. The players chosen before him were Lew Alcindor, Neal Walk, Lucious Allen, Terry Driscoll, Larry Cannon, Bingo Smith, Bob Portman and Herm Gilliam.
