Silas, kojeg nove generacije slabije pamte i nisu toliko upućene u njegove igračke kvalitete, dva puta je bio prvak NBA lige s Bostonom - 1974. i 1976. godine, a jednom je bio prvak sa Seattle SuperSonicsima i to 1979. godine.
I am very sad to report that the Great Paul Silas has died at age 79. To watch him play was a joy. To be his friend was an honor.

Paul Silas — a three-time NBA champion and two-time All-Star — has passed away at 79, per @GlobeBobRyan. Silas was a fierce competitor and beloved figure. He coached several teams, including Cleveland to start LeBron James’ career. His son, Stephen, is the Rockets coach. pic.twitter.com/DAVSd1Up6r

R.I.P. Paul Silas. You will be dearly missed. THE most unsung Boston Celtic of all time. The perfect example of numbers don’t do the guy justice. Without him, there are no rings in 1974/1976. pic.twitter.com/IT6gUicBPm
