Basketball Jones.
"I wouldn't be talking to you if it wasn't for basketball," Jim Jones Jr. says. "It spared my life." The words are not an empty cliché. They are true. Basketball kept this family alive, and now [his son] Rob and basketball are helping restore honor to the family name. Why? Because the name "Jones" can be found in the history books and in news coverage from 29 years ago, linked to an infamous place called Jonestown.

I thought it was an interesting story, a little too floridly told. And I spent a lot of time wondering what it must feel like to be the son or grandson of Rev. Jim Jones.
