For what itâ€™s worth, Celtics management has never made any secret of the inherent need to have white players in white Boston. (Fr)

I know this is a blatan lie. I dare you to let us know your sources about it: Walter Brown and Red Auerbach picked the first black player in the NBA draft history, and they ALWAYS stated that they don’t care what their players’ colour was. Auerbach started the first all black starting five, and Bill Russell was the first black coach in the USA SPORTS HISTORY. Boston won two titles with Danny Ainge, Kevin McHale, Larry Bird in the starting five, and won another two with Havlicek and Cowens in the ’70s. This tells us that they just were good players, and as Walter Brown put it when he picked Chuck Cooper, “I don’t care if he is black, white, stripped or polka dotted”. Trying to feed the legend that the Celtics are racist is false.

here’s a pure basketball analysis post, so feel free to skewer me…
anyhooo, saw the ‘other djones’ saturday and i can say without question he cannot play in the nba. he is slow as hell, doesn’t jump very well and i didn’t see him go after boards at all. but i can say that he had excellent form for the FT line and swished both of them. he also played the role of “statue” in a short film called “blatche dunks on a d-leaguer.” it was beyond embarassing…

Cavalier, Dwyane Jones is “famous” for only a few things. For one thing, he’s a good rebounder. For another thing, he got a lot of his points in the D-League off of putbacks that (because of rules differences) would be goaltending in the NBA. You would think the team would want to see him play in the Summer League, but he racked up DNP-CDs there too. Umm, lets see, he was the first to congratulate Gerald Green when he made that insane dunk on the Raptors, you can find it on YouTube. I think he was a teammate of Delonte West in college.

yup, that’s every last drop of information that I know about Dwayne Jones.
