SAM JONES RUMORS & GOSSIP
The Celtics lied about KG... and I'm OK with it
This most certainly will spark some debate. Wyc Grousbeck revealed yesterday that the Celtics were being coy... or as he put it... "Belichickian" about KG's injury.“There was no mystery about the problem,” he said. “The only mystery

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...

Bill Russell, Sam Jones, and Robert Horry??
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...
