Oof, why must you remind me of the Gail Goodrich trade?

It's such a nice team to watch. They weren't that great on offense, but they worked together very well. Their full court pressure is one of the finest I've ever seen. Hondo is underappreciated nowadays because he didn't have huge stats but he was quintessential for this team when you watch their games.


I have Cowens as the clear MVP on these teams though. Havlicek was even better than he was in the 60s but he was the #2 guy.
