Every superstar needs a super role-player and James Jones has been just that to LeBron James, tagging along for a seventh straight trip to the NBA Finals, a feat which his former teammate, Dwyane Wade hasn't forgotten.
Oh and shame on me. Congrats to my bro James Jones on going to his 7th straight finals. Real winners know your worth. #Bestteammateever

Jones was a deadeye three-point shooter and capable defender for most of his career, but has now been reduced to a back-of-the-bench role with the team.
Still, a sign of familiarity does a lot more for a star than one can weigh.
An experienced veteran with plenty of championship pedigree, J.J. could call himself a four-time NBA champion and become this generation's Robert Horry, except for… well… the extra three championship rings.
