THIS IS THE KC JONES EPISODE!! WE COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED! Justin and Liam sit down with Bryna and KC Jones. They grew up watching their dad go from star Celtics player to eventual championship winning coach for the widely regarded best Celtics team ever.
For fans of the Boston Celtics, Christmas Day was always a day dedicated to family, gift-giving, and basketball! However, our priorities changed last year when we lost a huge part of our Celtics family in legend KC Jones.
Jones passed away on Dec. 25, 2020 due to health complications. So now you should see why Christmas might hit different this year?
As we approach the one-year anniversary of his passing, Liam and Justin sit down with Bryna and KC, two of KC Jones’ kids, to discuss what it was like growing up with a superstar and legendary father.
Us four chopped it up for what felt like hours while we got lost in stories and memories from their childhood, but also learning a ton about KC Jones as a player, as a person off the court, as a father, and an all around true fan of the game.
This episode is all about KC Jones and the underrated impact he had on the Boston Celtics. As well as what Bryna and KC’s life was like growing up just outside the spotlight. Having a father who was such an influential figure in Celtics history for so long comes with trials and tribulations but there must be nothing like getting to visit dad while hes working at the old Boston Garden. Jones accomplished so much by staying humble and doing the best job possible on the task in front of him. There will never be another like the two sport, player-coach, and father. KC Jones.
