Yesterday afternoon the UFC released some flash quotes and deemed Jon Jones and his brothers ‘America’s most athletic family’. While that might have some truth to it as both of Jones’ brothers are footall players-big brother Art plays pro football with the Baltimore Ravens and younger brother Chandler is currently a Syracuse Orangeman headed for the pro draft next week. Even as athletic as these guys might be Jones says he was always “the skinny kid with no co-ordination” of the three brothers. If all we ever saw was Jon displaying his athleticism in the Octagon there is no way we could ever believe that statement. He is just too skilled and smooth when he fights to imagine him being clumsy or uncoordinated. But this week while Jones was in Atlanta he hung out with Al Horford from the Atlanta Hawks and it is evident that dunking a basketball is not going to make Jon’s list of ‘stuff I’m really awesome at’. Hey he might not be good at dunking but at least he us showing off some buff arms and rocking skinny jeans while he tries. Check out Jon’s awkward attempt at dunking in this video:
