What to know about Damon Jones -- at the center of two NBA scandals

Related Topics: Damon Jones, NBA

IF YOU PASSED through the Cleveland Cavaliers' players parking lot during the 2006-07 season, you almost certainly would've noticed LeBron James' Ferrari F430 Spider in its sparkling Grigio Silverstone paint. But you also would've likely noticed a customized Mercedes with the license plate 4Point8.

That was Damon Jones' car.

As a member of the Cavaliers from 2005-08, Jones owned and drove beautiful cars, wore eye-catching suits -- often with animal print jackets he (jokingly?) claimed were real -- and talked endless trash.

The specialized license plate was a reference to the time left on the clock when Jones made the biggest shot of his career, an overtime jumper on May 5, 2006, to seal a Game 6 and first-round series win over the Washington Wizards.
