    Does anyone know the whereabouts of Steve Snapper Jones, former PTB guard and broadcaster??

    I heard he was sick a few years back and it forced him to stop travelling for NBC/ABC/ESPN (IIRC) but haven't heard since.

    Anyone know?

    Someone asked this a couple months ago. He sold his house over here in NorthEast a couple years ago. was on his way down to be a commentator for the Rockets, then they hired Rick Adelman........ they don't get along. SO he ended turning down that gig but did move there. He lives in Houston and I have no idea what he is up to/. Last time we talked was at 24 hr in Hollywood. He looked good.

    Doesn't he still do summer league games every year? Other than that I don't know.

    I wasn't around back then, but I was told that Rick wasn't happy that Snapper was so objective about his coaching and the teams play.

    What a wasted talent. He lost his mojo when he shaved his beard. Grow it back, the career comes back.
