    He'd been in a wheelchair for years. Hope they bury you with your championship ring. Farewell, champ.

    Much too young. Blessings to his family. Anytime a member of the Trailblazers Family passes away it's sad, but that team has such a special place in the hearts of Blazer fans that it always hits a little harder. RIP Robin and thanks.

    I still remember Schonley using the "Rubberband Man" nickname for him. 64 is way too young. RIP, champ.

    One of my favorite songs in the 70s. I used to play basketball to it in middle school. Here's to you, Robin "Rubberband Man" Jones:

    I remember seeing them perform it live on The Midnight Special when I was a kid. Thanks to the magic of YouTube:
