Former Duke basketball star [autotag]Amile Jefferson[/autotag] won another championship on Monday night.

Nine years after Jefferson helped the Blue Devils cut down the nets in 2015, he helped [autotag]Jayson Tatum[/autotag] and the Celtics win their first championship since 2008 in the NBA Finals.

This time, however, Jefferson did it with a clipboard, working as an assistant coach. After he spent the 2022-23 season as an assistant coach for Jon Scheyer at his alma mater, he joined the Celtics ahead of this past season.

The former Blue Devil star played five seasons in Durham, and his 150 games played remain a school record. Jefferson also sits 11th in career rebounds and eighth in blocks, and he averaged 10.9 points and 8.4 rebounds per game in his redshirt senior season.

Jefferson and Tatum actually played a season together at Duke in 2016-17, winning the ACC Tournament.
