The Silas family has deep roots in the city of Boston, with the patriarch of the less musical side of the family — Paul Silas — having won a pair of titles in the city as a player for the Boston Celtics years before embarking on an equally successful career in coaching.
As basketball seems to run in Silas’ family as much as music does with his famous cousins The Pointer Sisters, Paul’s son Stephen Silas picked up the coaching mantle himself, eventually working his way up the coaching food chain until he landed the top job with the Houston Rockets.
And after being let go from that role, Silas was sighted visiting with the Celtics at practice the day after Boston’s disgraced head coach Ime Udoka was hired as his replacement in Houston.
A school, a park, and a home in Oakland California helped create a hotbed for Black excellence central to the Celtics’ success. https://t.co/0w5jb9qcrK
