No. 2 – K.C. Jones – 1958-67
Jones came into the league with San Francisco teammate and fellow Celtics legend Bill Russell, winning eight championships over his nine seasons with the franchise, one of the winningest players in league history in that regard.
Jones would also be known for his gritty defense, setting the tone for Celtics guards from Dennis Johnson to Marcus Smart, a critical component of the team’s dynasty in the 1960s.
The legendary point guard — one of only a handful to win NBA and NCAA titles and an Olympic gold medal (not that we’re counting the latter two here) — recorded a career average of 7.4 points, 3.5 boards and 4.3 assists.
