My Take
K.C. Jones is my kind of champion: he won by doing the work nobody cheers for. Eleven NBA titles across playing and coaching is almost absurd, yet he built that haul on defense, selflessness and basketball IQ rather than scoring. The fact that he kept winning as a player, assistant and head coach tells me he understood how to make others great, the rarest gift in team sports. Stars get the highlights, but men like Jones decide who hangs the banners. For anyone who values substance over flash, his career is required study.
