Basketball Jones

Forums:

The Kings have three players named Jones. Mason Jones, Issac Jones and Colby Jones and last night all three played at the same time. 

Has to be a sign they are going all the way this year.

I even put that basketball underneath my pillow
Maybe that's why I can't sleep at night
I need help, ladies and gentlemens
I need someone to stand beside me
I need, I need someone to set a pick for me at the free-throw line of life  
Someone I can pass to
Someone to hit the open man on the give-and-go

The great Frank Layden did a promo for my radio show back in the mid-80's and we used "Basketball Jones" for the promo. 

In the promo, I offer to play a request for Frank, he requests the song, and I cut to "I need someone to set a pick for me at the free-throw line of life". He responds "Ah now we're cookin'."

He's a great guy. Bought him a bottle of vodka to thank him, and we broke into it at the radio station after one of his "Coach's Show" on Monday nights. 

Tyrone Shoelaces a great nom de plume.

The play by play must of sounded a lot like this
