Basketball career A Kansas State University graduate born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jones left college as the third-leading scorer in its history. He finished his four-year college career averaging 14.8 points a game. His scoring prowess was demonstrated on March 24, 1994, when he scored 62 points in only 28 minutes against Fresno State in the 1994 NIT quarterfinals, the second-highest postseason scoring total in college basketball history. The 14 three-point field goals scored by Jones in that game are a postseason record. He is also the last Division I men's player to date to have a 60-point regulation game; the only other players since then to score 60 points, Eddie House in 2000 and Ben Woodside in 2008, respectively required two and three overtimes. The son of former National Basketball Association player Wali Jones, Jones, after brief spell with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1994–95, took his game to Venezuela, Brazil, Indonesia, the Philippines, Portugal, Cyprus and Spain, in a professional career spanning almost two decades. He eventually received Venezuelan citizenship and played with Venezuela national basketball team in the 2005 FIBA Americas Championship, winning the bronze medal.
