MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Walt Frazier has “profound memories” of playing against Jo Jo White and the Celtics, and remembers the Hall of Fame guard as being the catalyst for some great teams.
White passed away Tuesday at the age of 71.
“The guy was one of the quickest guys in the league,” Frazier said. “He could really shoot off the dribble, get you going back and pull up and shoot off the jumper. He epitomized what the Celtics were. They were always a running team. He provided that.”
Frazier, 72, said he was never close to White and didn’t know he was sick.
