On this day: Russell, Jones retire; ’69 banner; 76ers confetti game

On this day, Celtics legends Bill Russell and Sam Jones retired after winning the 1969 NBA championship, and in 2018, Boston beat the 76ers in OT.

Shooting guard Sam Jones played 12 seasons for the Celtics, winning 10 rings with the team, a feat only bested by teammate Bill Russell.

Jones was elected to five All-Star games and three All-NBA teams among many other honors, and was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.
