1965 NBA Finals Game 7 "Havlicek Stole The Ball" Signed Program and Ticket Stub PSA PR 1.5 (Only Known Example)
"Havlicek stole the ball It's all over! It's all over!" exclaimed Boston Celtics radio broadcaster Johnny Most as he broadcast the final seconds of the famous April 15, 1965, NBA Game 7 Eastern Conference Finals at Boston Garden between the Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers. Presented is the only known example of a ticket stub from the game, as well as a program from the game with the program cover having two clearly legible, bold signatures, in black marker, of Hall of Fame Celtics forwards Tom Heinsohn and Tom "Satch" Sanders. In Game 7, the Celtics led 110-109 with five seconds to go, and Philadelphia's Hal Greer ready to inbound the ball under his team's basket. Havlicek anticipated Greer's pass and deflected it to teammate to Sam Jones, and Jones dribbled the ball and passed it to Havlicek who took a long shot, just wanting to get the ball in the air, as time ran out. Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain led Philadelphia with 30 points, and Sam Jones had 37 points and Havlicek added 26 more for Boston. The Celtics then went on to win their seventh NBA Championship in a row. The NBA named Johnny Most's call of Havlicek's steal as the most exciting radio call in league history. The program has 38 pages and measures 8x11", and ironically the cover features Havlicek taking a shot. The ticket stub measures approx. 1.5x1.5". The stub has been encapsulated and graded PR 1.5. This is a great ticket stub, the only one of which we are aware, and combined with the game program with the signatures of long time Celtics forwards and future Hall of Famers in Heinsohn and Sanders, this nostalgic offering marks an iconic moment in Celtics history.
