Bobby Jones drifted reluctantly into basketball, won a state championship at South Mecklenburg High, starred at UNC, played in the 1972 Olympics, made five ABA and NBA All-Star appearances and eight straight all-NBA defensive first teams. In Philadelphia, he was popular and invaluable -- blocking shots, diving for balls, corralling high-scorers. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
