It’s a heck of a thing to win 10 NBA championships. Sam Jones played 12 NBA seasons and made the Conference Finals in all of them and the NBA Finals all but once, and he won the title in 10 of 12 seasons. And although Bill Russell gets the biggest piece of the championship pie, Jones was the second best Celtic on four of those teams and third or fourth best for three more.

Jones scored over 20 points a game in his prime and added valuable defense. Think of him as something like Klay Thompson on the Warriors — but for 12 straight seasons.
