Author: The Daily News Now! June 7, 2026 Duration: 1:31

K.C. Jones didn’t just coach the Boston Celtics—he owned their legacy. Rising from eight championships as a player to two more as a coach in ’84 and ’86, he dominated with a .751 regular-season win rate and a .637 playoff mark. After stepping down post-’87–’88, he stayed with the organization a year before joining the Supersonics, always putting the Celtics first. His impact? Unmatched. A true champion in green and white, forever etched in Celtics history.
