Celtic Great, K.C. Jones dies on Christmas Day.
I had totally forgotten that he coached the Sonics. Shoot, I can't even remember the coaches since Nate McMilian. The only other ones I can name are:
Lenny Wilkens (our GOAT)
Bill Russell (who surprisingly sucked)
Bob Hopkins (5-17 before Wilkens took over and coached the team to the Finals - that's just sad)
Paul Westphal (bad enough we traded Dennis Johnson for him)
Bernie Bickerstaff (those fun teams in the 80s)
George Karl (great regular season, shitty postseason)
15 coaches in their history and I could only name seven.
I didn't even remember him coaching the Celtics in the 80s, probably because Pat Riley stole his thunder.
