Celtics legend Sam Jones hasn't played a game in 40 years, but he never lost his distaste for the Lakers. Here's what Sam said to the Lawrence Eagle Tribune:"Who have they added? The kid from Houston (Ron Artest) is pretty good, but he won't be enough. All I can say is I saw what the Celtics did to them two years ago in the finals. They killed the Lakers. And I believe the Celts would have beaten them again in the finals if not for the injuries.""I like the Celtics over the Lakers in six games," said Jones. "I think they're the best team in the league and Rasheed makes them better. You can write that."Gotta love ol' #24. And not just because he's helping my legends team beat down John's team.
