FanHouse sat down with C's legend Sam Jones for a wide ranging inteview. Check it out here... but here's the one part that really stood out.
FanHouse: You ever go to see the Celtics play?
Sam Jones: "No. It's a new regime, new owners, new management. People ask me why I never go back. I tell them, `I don't go places where I'm not invited to go.' I won't push myself on anyone. It doesn't bother me at all. You work for someone, and when you're finished, you're finished.''

FanHouse: It's hard for me to fathom this disconnect
between the Celtics and guys like you who made the franchise what it is
today. Explain.
Sam Jones: "We don't have reunions, so there is
no connection between the old and the new. There is no follow up on
history. If you don't want to be bothered, then I don't want to be
bothered, either. I have my peace of mind."
Danny... I know you've got bigger things to worry about than the feelings of aging for Celtics. But reaching out to Sam is the right thing to do. Part of being a Celtic and a fan of the Celtics is the history. He's a big part of that history. Let's find a way to bring him back.
