1964–65 Boston Celtics Season
The 1964–65 NBA season was the Celtics' 19th season in the NBA. The Celtics finished the season by winning their eighth NBA Championship, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in five games. In 1996, the team was named one of the 10 greatest teams in NBA history. In addition five players were inducted into the Hall of Fame - K. C. Jones, Sam Jones, Tom Heinsohn, Bill Russell, and John Havlicek. Sam Jones, Havlicek, and Russell were selected as among the NBA's 50 greatest players. Both Red Auerbach and John Thompson were elected into the Hall of Fame as coaches. This season is best noted for Havlicek's heroic "steal" of the ball against the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7 of the Eastern Division final, immortalized in a commentary by Johnny Most where he exclaims that "Havlicek stole the ball." This is considered one of the greatest NBA moments, and its importance over time overshadowed the subsequent final between the Celtics and Lakers (of which there were many played in that era). ...

The 1964-65 NBA season was the Detroit Pistons' 17th season in the NBA and its eighth season in the city of Detroit. The team played at Cobo Arena in Detroit. The team fired coach Charles Wolf after 11 games, naming 24-year old forward Dave DeBusschere player-manager. The Pistons finished the season 31-49 (.388), 4th in the Western Division. Before the season began, the team made a major trade to rid the team of players who had feuded with Wolf, adding Terry Dischinger, Don Kojis and Rod Thorn from the Baltimore Bullets for Bob Ferry, Bailey Howell, Les Hunter, Wali Jones and Don Ohl. The trade was the largest in NBA history at the time. Former Piston Gene Shue, coaching for Baltimore, assessed the trade thusly: “Detroit has the worst management in the league.” Detroit was led on the season by forward DeBusschere (16.7 ppg, 11.1 rpg) and guard Dischinger (18.2 ppg, NBA All-Star).

He joined Robertson on the All-NBA First Team named at the season's conclusion. Injuries, though, were a big factor this season.

The other four opening-day starters, Robertson, Lucas, Jack Twyman and Wayne Embry, were each lost for several games or more also. Lucas was named MVP of the 1965 NBA All-Star Game.
