Boston Celtics legend has tragically passed away at 71 years old

RIP.

Boston Celtics legend JoJo White has tragically passed away at just 71 years old after a battle with cancer, Steve Bulpett reportedly Tuesday evening.

The NBA Hall of Famer was a two-time NBA champion, seven-time All-Star and MVP of the 1976 NBA Finals.

He played 12 seasons in the NBA, including more than nine with the Celtics, 1.5 with the Golden State Warriors and one year with the New York Knicks. He played five seasons at Kansas before jumping to the NBA.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.
