A nod to Bobby Jones, Hall of Famer and one of the greats in Denver Nuggets history

Although Bobby Jones only played four seasons with the Nuggets he did enough to be considered one of the best players to ever don a Denver uniform.

Bobby Jones is 6-foot-9, around 210 lbs in his playing days. He made his professional basketball debut in the ABA with the Nuggets in 1974 and hit the ground running his rookie season. Having played three seasons under the great Dean Smith at UNC, Jones was ready for the speed and physicality of pro basketball. Jones’ remarkable shooting was a hallmark of his game, as he never shot below 52% in any single season in his career.
