Dontae' Antijuaine Jones (born June 2 1975 in Nashville, Tennessee) is an American professional basketball player formerly of the NBA's Boston Celtics. Dontae' Jones was named MVP of the 1996 SEC Men's Basketball Tournament after leading Mississippi State University in their win over top-ranked University of Kentucky in the SEC tournament championship game. Later that year he led Mississippi State to the NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four, picking up a Regional MVP honor along the way. He was selected out of Mississippi State University as the 21st pick by the New York Knicks in the 1996 NBA Draft but was traded, along with Walter McCarty and Scott Brooks to the Celtics in exchange for Chris Mills shortly before the 1997-98 season began. After his NBA season, Jones played for the Memphis Houn'Dawgs in ABA, and in Greece, Turkey, Italy and Korea. An apostrophe was intentionally placed on the end of his first name by his mother for distinctiveness.[1]
