Jones Gave Him Nowhere To Go

K.C. Jones defended future Hall-of-Famer Hal Greer of the Syracuse Nationals during a game in 1962. In the early days of their careers, K.C. Jones and teammate Sam Jones would substitute off the bench for star guards Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman. Said Cousy, “They not only sustain a lead, they add to it. And on defense, they hound the opposition guards so much that my man’s all softened up for me when I come back in.”
