RIP Sam Jones

[rudad02]

Former Celtic great. The greatest shooter off the backboard ever--period. No one else ever compared or even came close. RIP Sam.

Mine too.

Back in the 60s and 70s before every game was on TV used to love watching the games on Sunday afternoon; Knicks/Celtics, Knicks/Bullets, etc.

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.

May he RIP.

Those Knicks/Bullets games were wars.

Tim Duncan and Wilt Chamberlain used glass often. Sam Jones the best.
