THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
One of the game’s all-time great defenders, Bobby Jones earned NBA All-Defensive First Team honors in six of his eight seasons with the 76ers. “The Secretary of Defense” came off the bench in 1982-83 and promptly won the first NBA Sixth Man Award as a key member of the 76ers’ NBA Championship squad that season.
Jones was acquired by the Sixers in the summer of 1978, after a trade that sent George McGinnis to the Denver Nuggets. Jones averaged 14 points per game while averaging 25 minutes of play as a reserve in his first two seasons in Philadelphia.
