While the numbers 15 and 25 have been hanging honorably from the rafters of the Boston Celtics’ home gym now for more than half a century, it appears that Tom Heinsohn and K.C. Jones – the only retired Celtics who would subsequently go on to coach the team to a title (two apiece and exactly a decade apart. Ironically) – are the sole members of the C’s Hall of Honor to have briefly worn an alternative uniform number … though not briefly enough to avoid the notice of the good folk over at basketball-reference.com.
