I think the fact that Havilicek carried himself with so much class while at
OSU, as a Celtic and after his basketball carreer are a large part of why he receives more accolades than his overall "Inividual" Statistics indicate. I believe many of our opinions are based on age and the era we grew up. I always considered Archie, Nicklaus, Owens and Havilicek as the 4 greatest athletes from
OSU. There have been so many great
OSU athletes from different sports, however, it so much more refreshing when they come with the merit, wisdom and class that are personified in the likes of Tessel, Griffin, Havilicek and Nicklaus.
