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

Posted Sep 15, 2019
Bobby Jones made his pro basketball debut in the ABA with the Nuggets in 1974 and hit the ground running. Having played 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. It was Jones’ defensive acumen that led to him becoming a Hall of Famer. (Nugg Love)
