Grew up in Boston my first 10 years before family moved to NJ. Attended my first Celtics game as a 9 year old at the old Garden and saw the Globetrotters followed by a Celtics win. Sam Jones was my favorite player on a team that included Russell, Cousy, Heinson and others.Former Celtic great. The greatest shooter off the backboard ever--period. No one else ever compared or even came close. RIP Sam.
