James Jones first player to play in five straight NBA Finals since '60s

LeBron James — and James Jones — will become the first players since Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics of the 1960s to make five straight NBA Finals appearances.

After LeBron joined Jones in Miami, they went to four straight NBA Finals — winning two. When King James returned to Cleveland, Jones accompanied him and they are now headed to their first Finals together as members of the Cavaliers.

Of course, LeBron has a little more to do with his teams’ success than James Jones, but Jones is a part of history nonetheless.

The 2015 NBA Finals will be LeBron’s sixth chance at the championship.
