It’s a long way from York’s basketball team to the NBA, but brothers Paul and Mark Jones have each made their own way to the big game. And their unconventional paths to success have not gone unnoticed.

From studying economics to working as a sports commentator for ESPN and ABC, Mark has turned his experience on the court into his dream job. Not to be outdone, Paul has made his own mark in the world of sports journalism, jumping from a career as a teacher and principal in York Region to reporting for TSN and being the voice of the Raptors on Toronto’s own FAN590.
