Bobby Jones was one of the most admired defenders ever, as well as being one of the most virtuous. While most other players depended on the occasional thrown elbow, hip-check, or grab of the uniform to gain an advantage, Jones relied on hustle and determination. It was Jones’ stellar defense along with his other specialties such as leadership that made him a standout sixth man. Opposing teams could ill afford to relax on defense when Jones came off the bench, and they also had to work a lot harder on offense to get the ball in or even near the basket. On the left front tail is the "Wilson" manufacturers size 46 tag with wash instructions. Attached is an additional “4” X LONG” flag tag. Across the front is the large "NUGGETS" logo in blue, white, and yellow embroidery on red tackle twill. Below is the player number "24" in yellow tackle. On the back is the player number “24” in white tackle twill. Across the back is the player name “JONES” in white tackle twill on a blue nameplate. The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no other alterations of any kind.
