1969 Celtics' championship team

Bill Russell 34
Sam Jones 35
Bailey Howell 32

They played 46% of the regular season minutes and 48% of the playoff minutes.
Of course, Russell, the greatest of the greatest, averaged 46 MPG in the playoffs.
And when you adjust for different eras training and nutritional habits, Russell and Jones are quite impressive with their performances that year.

Russell was playing on bad knees too and the Celtics beat the Fakers with Chamberlain, West, and Baylor in the last game for both THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER and Sam Jones on the Fakers' home court with the balloons left up in the rafters and the champagne left unopened.
