Jo-Jo White

A member of a Pan American gold medalist in 1967, an Olympic gold medalist in 1968, and an NBA champion in 1974 and 1976, "Jo-Jo" White missed only an NCAA title to add to his trophies. But he tried, as he was the top player at Kansas in the late 60s, twice being named All-America and MVP of the Big Eight Conference. In 1969, he was drafted first by the Boston Celtics with whom he played for 10 seasons. He had an excellent career as a pro, quarterbacking the Celtics to two NBA titles. He also was named to the All-Rookie team in 1970, and was twice named NBA All-Star second team. He was named to play in seven consecutive NBA All-Star games, from 1971 through 1977. Jo-Jo finished out his career with two seasons with Golden State and Kansas City before retiring in 1981. He later went into college coaching.
