Podcast: Bobby Jones On The NBA Finals, ’72 Olympics & Other Courtside Tales

Posted Jun 24, 2018
Bobby Jones built a basketball career on his ability to guard other players, to the point where Nike created a marketing campaign calling him the Secretary of Defense. He was an All-Star five times in his 12-year pro career and won an NBA title in 1983 as a member of a great Philadelphia 76ers team. Before that, Jones played for Dean Smith at The University of North Carolina. (WFAE)
