Found June 19, 2007 on The Official LA Galaxy Myspace:
After watching Robert Horry celebrate once again in the middle of the hardwood floor during the finals in June, I decided to search and find just who else has amassed as many rings in the NBA. Bill Russell and Sam Jones built quite a dynasty for the Celtics during their years in Boston, and there are no two players who have combined for more rings together in the NBA, and perhaps in any other sport? 1. Bill Russell 11 2. Sam Jones 10 3. Tom Heinsohn 8 4. KC Jones 8 5. Satch Sanders 8 6. John Havlicek 8 7. Frank Ramsey 7 8. Robert Horry 7 So where does this leave "Big Shot" Bob in terms of Hall of Fame status, or is he even worthy of being in the NBA's greatest 100? Basketball no matter who you talk to is always described as a "team game". No one player can win a ring on his own. Russell and Jones among the others on this list did mostly win all their rings together. However, Horry too has played with top talent like, Shaq, Duncan, Olajuwon, etc.... Is just being a role player "slash" good teamate enough to have you be considered one of the best of all time?

He always orders at restaurants before her and is rude to waiters. We just don't have a good feeling about him." Sounds to me like some of them are a little jealous...

Sam Jones: The Smoothest Celtic

A slightly different version of this article was originally published in the December 2004 issue of Basketball Digest.Bobby "Slick" Leonard has seen five decades of pro basketball as a player, coach and broadcaster, so it carries some weight when he declares that Sam Jones is the most underrated guard in NBA history. It is easy to overlook Jones: Oscar Robertson and Jerry...
