Timeline
Askia Rahman Jones (born December 3, 1971) is an American-Venezuelan retired professional basketball player, a 6'5" (1.96 m) shooting guard. During his college years, Askia displayed his exceptional 3-point shooting ability in a memorable game against Fresno, where he broke records by scoring an astounding 62 points in just 29 minutes. Although he went undrafted in the NBA, he did have the opportunity to showcase his skills in eleven games for the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he averaged an impressive 11 points per game. This marked the beginning of his prominent 25-year basketball career, which took him to nine different countries. This remarkable feat solidified his reputation as a player with incredible scoring prowess. Currently residing in Florida, Jones is happily married to Emma Gonzalez, a Florida native of Cuban-Puerto Rican descent and an executive for a large healthcare system.
It is also worth noting that Jones comes from basketball lineage, as his father Wali Jones was a championship-winning player for the Philadelphia 76ers.
A Kansas State University graduate born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jones left college as the third-leading scorer in its history.
He finished his four-year college career averaging 14.8 points a game.
His scoring prowess was demonstrated on March 24, 1994, when he scored sixty-two points in only twenty-eight minutes against Fresno State in the 1994 NIT quarterfinals, the second-highest postseason scoring total in college basketball history.
The fourteen three-point field goals scored by Jones in that game are a postseason record.
He was also the first to make 14 against a NCAA Division I opponent.
The son of former National Basketball Association player Wali Jones, Jones, after brief spell with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1994–95, took his game to Venezuela, Brazil, Indonesia, the Philippines, Portugal, Cyprus and Spain, in a professional career spanning almost two decades.
He is also the last Division I men's player to date to have a sixty-point regulation game; the only other players since then to score sixty points, Eddie House in 2000 and Ben Woodside in 2008, respectively required two and three overtimes.
He eventually received Venezuelan citizenship and played with Venezuela national basketball team in the 2005 FIBA Americas Championship, winning the bronze medal.
