Johnny Jones was on the 1980-81 Final Four team that included Howard "Hi-C" Carter, Leonard "Swat" Mitchell, Greg "Cookie Man" Cook,
Ethan "E.T." Martin, Durand "Rudy" Macklin, Tyrone Black, Willie "Super Sub" Sims, John Tudor, and others.
Just about all of them had a nickname, and Johnny's was "Bullet" because of his fast dribbling, speed on fast breaks, etc.

I love having the Bullet as the head coach of the Baton Rouge Basketball team.

So fitting.

Pete Maravich was "The Pistol" so they called Johnny "The Bullet".

Guy was just super fast when taking the ball from one end of the court to the other. If he ever had a step on someone you knew he was gone.

Prolly would have made a great WR in football.

Tyrone Blacks nickname/catchphrase was "Give to to Black and don't get it back". He never met a shot he didn't like. Fa real.

What? Did you stop tagg'n your sister-cousin just long enough to leave the trailer park, hitch a lift down to the public library, wait to use their free computer, get on line and ask another stupid question?

Whenever you get home from the Klan Rally & Meth Cook-Off tonight, How about do the rest of us two big favors Mikey:

1) Since we know you ain't gonna stop nail'n immediate family members, wear a rubber - otherwise, whatever kid that comes out is likely to have two-heads and a tail; and

2) Go find another site to post stupid shite on!
