Steve Jones Dead at 75
Local standout
had impact in
two pro leagues
Steve “Snapper” Jones, former
Portland Trail Blazers player, team
announcer and later NBA broad-
caster, died Saturday after report-
edly battling a lengthy illness. He
was 75.
Known as much for his work on
the sidelines as his performances
between them, Jones was a staple
of the NBA on broadcasts. As a
collegiate player, he played for the
University of Oregon from 1961-
64, leading the team in scoring
during the 1963-64 season. Born
in Alexandria, La., but raised in
Portland, Jones was a standout
player locally at Franklin High
School, leading his squad to a state
championship in 1959.
His younger brother Nick Jones,
also a highly-touted player at
Franklin and later Oregon, played
for the Golden State Warriors and
was a member of the Trail Blaz-
ers Community Relations staff for
several years.
Steve Jones played 64 games
in a Trail Blazers uniform during
the 1975-76 season, averaging 6.5
points per game in what would be
his final year as a player.
The bulk of his pro career was
spent in the American Basketball
Association where Jones was a
three-time All-Star and played
Steve “Snapper” Jones
for five franchises. His nine-year
ABA/NBA pro career spanned
704 games, with an impressive
15.2 points per game average.
His broadcasting resume in-
cluded work for ESPN/ABC,
TBS, TNT, Fox Sports Net, USA
Network and NBC, where he was
an analyst for the “NBA on NBC”
for more than a decade. Jones
was also part of numerous Trail
Blazers broadcasting tandems, in-
cluding Naismith Memorial Bas-
ketball Hall of Fame honoree Bill
Schonely.
“Steve was as positive and
good-natured a broadcasting part-
ner as I could have had,” said
Schonely of Jones, who would be a
broadcasting fixture with the Trail
Blazers for 26 years. “He loved to
call me ‘Pops’ as a nickname, and
we worked very well together on
Trail Blazers games during some
of the early years of the franchise.
He was a terrific guy.”
