K.C. Jones: Hall of Famer, Champion
Although Bill Russell was the first black NBA head coach to win an NBA title, I believe Casey Jones was the second and really kind of trailblazed at a time when there were not a lot of black head coaches in the NBA. The thing I'll always remember him about the most is his smile. His smile could just light up the television screen, and you just always knew that there was a very warm person behind that smile
