Paul Silas, a three-time NBA champion who went on to coach for more than three decades, has passed away at 79

Silas, known as one of the preeminent rebounding and defensive forwards of his era, played in the NBA for 16 seasons after he was drafted in the second round by the Hawks in 1964. Despite a tepid start to his career, he went onto to become a double-double machine in stints with the Suns and Celtics, the two teams that he spent the majority of his time with as a player.

Silas ended his playing career in Seattle, where he won his third and final championship ring in 1979. He retired after the ’79–80 season, having averaged 9.4 points and 9.9 rebounds in 1,254 career games. Following his days on the court as a player, Silas made the move to the sidelines where he became a coach for the better part of three decades. He served as head coach of the San Diego Clippers, Charlotte and New Orleans Hornets, Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Bobcats, and he also worked as an assistant with the Nets, Knicks and Suns.
