Phoenix Suns General Manager James Jones addresses the media during a press conference at Talking Stick Resort Arena, Wednesday, April, 24, 2019.

Greg Moore, in his column on James Jones, the general manager of The Phoenix Suns, described James as a winner — self-motivated, disciplined and team-oriented.

I would add “kind” to this list.

A week ago Sunday, I crashed my bike on Lincoln Drive and fell behind a bush. Unable to get up, I was waving without luck for someone to see me. Suddenly, from a nearby residential area came a tall stranger.

After moving my bike, he called my family and 911 and waited with me until the ambulance arrived.

Yes, it was James Jones.

Thank you, James, for taking time out of your day to assist me. I'm forever a fan!
