Damon Jones – Sidekick Comedian

I just wanted to enlighten everyone on how hilarious Damon Jones is. For those who aren’t familiar with Damon Jones, he’s a point guard who loves to jack up 3s, plays very poor defense, and has been on 10 NBA teams in 8 years. This year, he’s on the Cavs and still providing great comic relief. I just want to make clear with these quotes, he is joking most of the time.

1. Jones, describing then-teammate Michael Redd two years ago: "I call him [Redd] 'Bombs over Baghdad.' Sometimes he kills the enemy and sometimes he kills the civilians. And we --" he gestured around the Bucks locker room -- "are the civilians." - 12/07/2005 – Chris Ballard CNNsi

2. What is your favorite move on the court?--
Damon Jones: My favorite move is the three-point shot if you want to call that a move. When the ball goes through the net, I get to put up the three-sign. [2004 Milwaukee Bucks Website, Damon Jones answering mailbag question]

3. "I want to apologize to the media for taking a hard stance and not talking," Jones said. "I know from a business standpoint I did you writers a disservice for not talking because you were not able to get in my clever quotes and humorous statements in the paper."

4. InsideHoops.com: Damon Jones says that you [Donyell Marshall] are the 5th best 3-point shooter on the planet. Damon says he’s #1.
Donyell Marshall: Who's two, three and four?
Damon Jones: Me, in my younger days.
InsideHoops.com: So you're number one now, and two, three and four is you at various younger stages in your life?
Damon Jones: Yes… I’m also the best show in tennis shoes. http://www.insidehoops.com/damon-jones-interview-122805.shtml

5. Damon Jones, on his return to Miami with the Cavaliers said: "Whether I keep the place [in Miami] depends on my reception," he said. "If they boo, I'm selling. If they give me a warm cheer, I'm keeping it."

Bonus “Z’” quote: Cavs C Zydrunas Ilgauskas said the club's recent travel schedule has been odd. "You know you haven't been home a lot when your dog barks at you," said Ilgauskas, who has an 8-month-old Newfoundland named "Beckham" that weighs 115 pounds.
