Tide Hoops legend gets jersey retired by local high school

The former Alabama forward continues to impress during his short time in the NBA.

The former Alabama star is staying in New Orleans.

Turns out that when Oats and Byrne went to New Orleans, the fellas were on a business trip.

Herb Jones was on fire as he led the Pelicans in scoring with a career-high 35 points in a 138-131 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime.

The former Alabama standout turned 24.

This Tide alum is making a huge impact in his community.

Apart from sure-fire lottery picks, earning playing time as a rookie isn’t an easy task for a player drafted so late. But for Jones, he had his spot on the starting roster all but guaranteed after just a few summer league practices.
