Before we begin the top 10 list of the greatest NBA wings of all time, let’s mention three deserving players who fell out of the top 10 but nonetheless need an honorable mention: Kawhi Leonard, Tracy McGrady, and Clyde Drexler.

Also, just an FYI for Milwaukee Bucks fans, Giannis Antetokounmpo did not qualify for this list because he was deemed a power forward.

NBA.com’s Todd Spehr on Havlicek:

“There were many truly remarkable things about John Havlicek’s 16 professional seasons with the Boston Celtics. But beyond the longevity, the countless clutch moments, and being part of separate generations of Celtics success, what stands alone as Havlicek’s greatest accomplishment was his adaptability.”

“The list of successfully completed tasks reads as follows: Reserve, starter, guard, forward, defender, scorer. Havlicek not only did each with competency, he did so at expert level. In the first minute or the last, in sickness and in health. The short list of most rounded players in league history is incomplete without John Havlicek.”

“Havlicek was admired by playing the game ideally and simply, with honesty, integrity, and unfailing effort. He was the last thread to a period of time, the leader who followed Russell, who had followed Cousy. He was the last figure in a lineage of sustained excellence the likes of which will never be equaled.”
