Caldwell Jones is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on August 4, 1950 in McGehee, Arkansas, United States.
Jones’ brothers, Charles, Wil and Major all played at Albany State and in the NBA. The most prominent of the foursome, Caldwell, was best known as the least flamboyant member of the high-powered 76ers teams of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Playing alongside Julius Erving and company, Jones did not need to score much with Philadelphia, so he concentrated on rebounding, shotblocking, and defense. A lanky yet strong 6 ft 11 in (2.11 m) pivotman, his hustle, board work, and defense kept him in professional basketball for 17 years.
Jones began his career in 1973–74 with the ABA’s San Diego Conquistadors, coached by Wilt Chamberlain. During three ABA seasons (including short stints with the Kentucky Colonels and the Spirits of St. Louis), Jones averaged 15.8 points, hitting a career high of 19.5 points per game in 1974–75. “I was a gunner”, he later told the Dallas Morning News. “Every time I caught the ball I shot it.”
