We talked about Moses Malone previously and enjoyed seeing Bobby Jones on the video. He’s one of those rare UNC guys who’s really difficult to dislike.
On the court Jones was superb. He was 6-9 and could run like a deer. He was also a superb defensive forward.
When the 76ers got him from Denver in 1978, he was a natural front court partner with Julius Erving and when Philly got Moses Malone a few years later, it was one of the great front courts in NBA history.
Aside from being a wonderful player, Jones was universally acclaimed for his stellar character and also overcame asthma and a heart condition.
