Greatest Moment

With five seconds left in Game 7 of the 1965 NBA Eastern
Conference Finals and Philadelphia down by one, 76ers guard Hal
Greer attempted to inbound the ball to Chet Walker. Celtics
announcer Johnny Most's raspy call--"Havlicek stole the
ball!"--still sums up the most thrilling single play in the
Celtics' unparalleled run of 11 NBA championships between 1956-57
and '68-69.
