Each franchise worst player to have their jersey retired, Philadelphia 76ers: Bobby Jones

Stats: 10.7 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 2.2 apg

The Philadelphia 76ers are a proud franchise. While they aren’t considered one of the more successful organizations due to their lack of championships, the amount of all-time greats that have walked through their doors and thrown on their jersey is outrageous.

Just take a look at who played for the franchise and have their jerseys retired. Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, Allen Iverson, Julius Erving, and Wilt Chamberlain were in the midst of their respective primes when they hooped for the 76ers. Malone, Barkley, and Chamberlain dominated on the inside while players such as Iverson and Erving dominated on the outside.

Even some of their players who weren’t as ballyhooed such as Hal Greer and Mo Cheeks were fairly dominant during their time with the franchise. But while each of those players held their own, we question the legitimacy of Bobby Jones’ jersey being hung in the rafters. In eight seasons, Jones averaged only 10.7 points per game.

Scoring wasn’t his specialty but the defensive side of the ball surely was. He made six defensive teams during his time with the franchise and was considered one of the best defenders in the league. While we respect Jones for getting after it on that side of the ball, he’s the worst player to have their jersey retired by the 76ers by far.
