He was named an All-Star five times in his career, averaging a career-high 50% from the field in the postseason of 1964.
Jones was a role player, but an excellent one at that. Jones’ 12-year career with the Celtics included 15,411 points, 4,305 rebounds and 2,209 assists as the Celtics honoured him by retiring his No. 24 jersey in 1969.
He was also inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in the class of 1984.
The only reason Russell has one more title than Jones is that he arrived in the league one year later.
