From www.CheckOutMyCards.com , a 1975 Topps basketball card of former NBA great Paul Silas. Manning the “power forward” position, Silas was one of the top defensive players and rebounders of his era, and was a key member of 2 championship teams with the Boston Celtics in the 1970s. He was one of the consummate “role” players, the type of player every team needs to be a winner, and in 1979 won a third NBA title with the Seattle Supersonics. Silas became a coach after his playing career ended, and has coached various teams over the years, and is currently the “interim” coach of the Charlotte Bobcats.
