For those that know me personally, know that I have two older sisters and one brother (kind of).  Kyl “Killa” Jones lived with my family through high school, and in the meantime was making history in the basketball world.  Only those that saw him play really know how dominant he was.  These memories of Kyl on the court were brought back to life last week when The Varsity Insider named their High School Players of the Decade (by class).

AA: Ben Gordon, Mount Vernon. A: Mookie Jones, Peekskill. B: Tyrell Thompson, Kennedy. C: Kyl Jones, Pleasantville. D: Benjamin Keys, Martin Luther King.

Kyl is my brother and best friend, and I’m proud of him for much more than basketball.  He has always and will always be a huge part of me and my family’s lives.  Love you kid… Congratulations.
