There was once a player who had never played a starting position in the NBA, who was a full-fledged substitute, but in his 14-year career, he won three championships and was seriously ill. He is James's former "little brother" James Jones, after announcing his retirement in 2017, he was immediately hired by the Sun to become the vice president of operations of the Sun basketball, and through his unremitting efforts, he made remarkable achievements and was promoted to the general manager of the team.
Jones' career as a player averaged 5.2 points per game in 15.7 minutes of playing time, and there are so many such players in NBA history, very inconspicuous! There are no highlights in either offense or defense. But he does not have the ball, three-point shooting ability is very strong but james Jones label, can be said to be his foothold in the NBA fundamental.
In the 2011 three-point contest, he defeated Pierce and eliminated Ray Allen in the final, which shows that the championship is full of gold, the three-point shooting rate of 14 years of his career is 40.1%, perhaps many people look down on the 40.1% shooting rate of three-pointers, Curry's three-point shooting rate is 43.6%, which is a little better than Jones; we look back at the superstar of other teams, James Harden, the shooting rate is only 36.4%; Durant has 38.4%. No possession of the ball, three-point ability, and decent defense, such players are what all teams want. It is a low-priced player, the contract is absolutely worth the money, full of premium feeling. Putting him next to the assist player is the three-point pie player.
After James returned to the Cavaliers that year, there was a reason for the Cavaliers to sign Jones by name, and they developed a deep friendship in the Heat. Some people say that Jones just hugged James's thigh, only to become a winner in life, in fact, Jones is bigger than James, old Zhan respects Jones, in the Heat period, the first year did not win the championship, old Zhan understood a lot of pressure, Jones tried to enlighten him, gave old Zhan a lot of help, they also became good friends, which is also the reason why the old Zhan transferred to the Cavaliers, why the Knights wanted to sign Jones by name.
From this, we can see that Jones's emotional intelligence is absolutely second to none, Jones is more introverted, he has many friends, he uses sincerity, sincerity, simplicity and sincerity to make others rely on him incomparably, so he will be praised wherever he goes. Some players interviewed that there was a team with Jones, and he was the "locker room leader" in the dressing room. It can be seen that it is very respected.
Back to the point, Jones is a winner in life, has seen big scenes, won championships, and now after retiring, he has turned gorgeously into the general manager of the team, which is related to his efforts and continuous comeback. Wishing James Jones all the best in the future!
