High school career
Jones played for the Ball High Golden Tornadoes basketball team. His ability to shoot from behind the arc spawned a popular cheer, "Threes please!"[citation needed] He went on to the University of Houston after his graduation in 1994.
Professional career After averaging a career high 11.7 points a game for the Miami Heat during the 2004-05 season, Jones departed to sign a four-year contract worth a reported $16 million with the Cavaliers on September 8, 2005. A journeyman throughout his career, Jones has never played for the same team for more than one season except for 2005-2006 and 2006-2007, when he played for the Cleveland Cavaliers. In his career, he has played for 10 different teams. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...

Jones is most notable for his ability to make three-point field goals. In fact, three-point attempts make up the majority of his field goal attempts because his role is often to wait on the outside while teammates Shaquille O'Neal, Dwyane Wade or LeBron James force double teams. Jones is supremely confident of his shot, once proclaiming that he is "the best shooter in the world".[1] This article or section cites very few or no references or sources. ...

On April 5, 2006 Jones was cleared of a charge of sexual assault. An Arizona woman claim that he committed a sexual offense against her. The 23-year-old woman, who was visiting Cleveland, filed a complaint against Jones when she returned to Chandler, Arizona alleging an offense was committed on March 3rd. The Arizona Department of Public Safety analyzed evidence and results were negative for the presence of male DNA. The woman was unable to describe any sex act, where it may have taken place or who was involved, police said. “The whole time I said that I was innocent,” Jones said before the Cavs' game at New York. “I knew there was an investigation that had to happen and I respect that process. I was fully cooperative and I'm just glad it's over.” April 5 is the 95th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (96th in leap years). ...

Damon's career defining moment was in a 2004-2005 regular season game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. After throwing a bad pass which was intercepted by Lebron James, Jones raced back and attempted to block Lebron's dunk. Realizing that it was a huge mistake, Jones attempted to go into the fetal position in mid-air while Lebron kept rising akin to the morning sun. When the sun set on Damon Jones the arena burst into laughter including several teammates, most notably Shaquille O'Neal and Dwayne Wade. It was a rare moment that fortunately was captured and replayed on various news media outlets. Thank you Mr. Jones for providing the people with this outstanding moment in U.S. History. Damon Jones is also one of the most fashionable athletes in America. His flare for the cloth has inspired many a youngster.
