Gerald Henderson steals the ball from Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics in '84 Finals
The Johnny Most call of Boston Celtics Hall of Fame small forward John Havlicek stealing the ball to secure an NBA title berth for his team may well be the most famous call in the history of the storied ball club. But a similar play many years later that saw Celtics guard Gerald Henderson Sr. steal the ball from Los Angeles Lakers legend James Worthy might be a very close second. The play, which saw Henderson, in the 1984 NBA Finals with his team down 113-111, go on to score a layup to send the game into an extra period and an eventual win and title. The folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip to look back on the historic play and call, a memory for the ages indeed. Take a look at the clip embedded below to see this flashbulb moment in Celtics and league for yourself.
