Tre Jones left a recent Spurs Youth Basketball League clinic intrigued by a confident youngster who challenged him to a game of one-on-one.
Saying he was impressed by the league’s commitment to teach kids about “learning something more than just how to make a layup,” President George H.W. Bush presented one of his “Points of Light” awards to the league at a ceremony on Feb. 27, 1992 at the West End Community Center attended by Popovich, Martin and several Spurs players from that era.
Indeed, Jones knows first hand what it’s like to be a wide-eyed kid in the presence of an NBA player and wants to encourage the SBYL kids to reach for the stars in whatever path they chose. The SYBL is for KIDS ages 7 through 17. In addition to San Antonio, there are branches in several other South and Central Texas communities, including Austin, George West, Laredo and Refugio.
Yolanda Rodgers, director of community sports for Spurs Sports and Entertainment, said it’s a pleasure working with Jones.
