When I checked in with Jason Jones for this interview he was on vacation in his hometown of Los Angeles with nothing on his calendar but a trip to get his hair cut, the gym and a Dodgers game. It was some much-needed downtime for the LA native, who covers the Sacramento Kings as the beat writer for The Sacramento Bee. Most of the year you will catch him at Kings games and practices, where he commutes to from his home in Vallejo. He may or may not be decked out in a humorous or political-statement shirt or hat.
Jason Jones takes work seriously, not himself
