Robert Parish, the esteemed Boston Celtics center, shares his thoughts on the legendary Celtics coach K.C. Jones.
K.C. Jones, the only Boston Celtics player with more championships than Bill Russell (totaling 12 including titles won as a player, assistant coach, and head coach), ranks among the most successful athletes in major North American sports history.
However, Jones was equally celebrated for his composed demeanor, exemplary conduct, and unwavering class. Celtics legend Robert Parish particularly admired these qualities, shaping his own career after Jones, whom he played under for many years as a coach in Boston.
