Looks like it's catching on, and it's certainly appropriate considering how he plays. Here is an article back on Feb 3...and that was before all his other heroics.

Excerpt from article:




"And then there was the final basket of the game - with the shot clock winding down and 11 seconds left on the clock, Jones nailed a 3 over London Perrantes. That gave Duke a 6-point lead, crushing any Cavaliers' comeback hopes.


After the game, the Internet was buzzing with a potential new nickname: Tyus Stones. After years relying on one word - poised - and given Jones' performances this year, maybe it's time for an update."

After last night, the legend grows...as well as other things.

Bigger the Game, the Better Tyus Jones Plays
 
Glad you liked it, guys. I tried to make something that would convey cojones (even that word has Jones in it :) without being too graphic.

Not only are they stone but they are pretty huge also. I think Quinn has a developing set as well.

Here's a short video interview with Amile after the UNC game. He talks about fighting back, and at around the 1:12 or !:13 mark he mentions Tyus having 'stones'. By listening to him you can just tell how tight this team is with one another.

I just found a pretty cool stat on Tyus for the game. He scored or assisted on 46% of Duke's points in the game.
