He played college basketball at the University of San Francisco and, along with Bill Russell, led the Dons to two NCAA championships in 1955 and 1956. Jones also played with Russell on the 1956 United States men's Olympic basketball team, which won the gold medal at the Melbourne Summer Games. During his playing days, he was known as a tenacious defender. Jones spent all of his nine seasons in the NBA with the Boston Celtics, being part of eight championship teams from 1959 to 1966. In NBA history, only teammates Bill Russell and Sam Jones have won more championship rings during their playing careers.

K.C. Jones is the last African-American head coach to lead a team to the NBA Championship (1986). Ironically, his 1986 Celtics are also the last NBA champion to have a majority of caucasian players on their roster (and a majority in their starting lineup). K.C. Jones is the only African American coach to win multiple titles as solely a head coach (Bill Russell also won two titles but was doubling as a player).
