Join the conversation with Columbus Ohio's own basketball legend, Larry Jones, as he shares with us tales from his ABA and NBA heydays, and the profound role his faith, family, and community played in his rise to stardom. Larry's narrative is as captivating as it is inspiring; from a late bloomer on the church basketball team to making waves in the pro leagues, his story is a testament to the power of belief and perseverance. Tune in and be moved by the spirit of a baller who continues to make his mark, both on and off the court.
He takes us through his decision to play for the Denver Rockets over the LA Lakers and reveals the fierce advocacy for player rights that led him to a presidency in the ABA Players Association.
We navigate through the thrilling world of ABA basketball, where Larry Jones became a household name, and his astonishing 23-game 30 point scoring streak left fans and future players alike in awe. His anecdotes are filled with the tension and triumph of a professional athlete, including a memorable standoff with a general manager that solidified his reputation as a man of intelligence and integrity. Larry's leadership extended beyond the court, setting the stage for the modern era of player empowerment and equity.
As Larry reflects on his impact and commitment to mentoring the next generation, we're reminded that a true baller's influence isn't confined to the hardwood. His touching tales from a standout all-star game performance and his strategic shift to the Philadelphia 76ers round out an illustrious career. But it's his current role as a substitute teacher, shaping young minds, that truly showcases the breadth of Larry's legacy. His story isn't just about basketball—it's about building a legacy of positive influence, the kind that resonates long after the final buzzer. Tune in and be moved by the spirit of a baller who continues to make his mark, both on and off the court.
