I just don´t see how Ed Macauley can be placed over a guy who won 10 titles with the C´s, and led the team to 4 NBA finals in 5 years as a coach.
Because Macauley was a superstar, and Jones was a role player.
Yes, Jones is in the Hall of Fame, but doesn't that have more to do with his teammates?
I mean, there aren't a lot of other guys in the Hall of Fame who averaged 7.4 points, 4.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 64.7 FT%, and 38.7% FG% over the course of their careers. Sure, he was a good defender and a good "glue" guy for a lot of championship teams. However, I think numbers do matter to some extent, and Jones' don't add up.
Now there are some #'s which makes DJ's case for the hall simple as can be!
I know the numbers, I just think if we´re talking about the "greatest Celtics", Jones` achievements as a coach can`t be overlooked. He won 8 titles as a player, and two as the head coach with the Celtics. He won on every level (NCAA, Olympic Gold). He´s a HOFer as player and coach. He definitly has a strong case for this list and should be considered for one of the next spots, imho.
