Jones, one of the league's original players who spent his entire 11-year career with the Galaxy, was named one of the MLS 25 Greatest on Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020.
When MLS contracted by two teams in 2002, Jones and his fellow players wondered if the fledgling domestic league was in trouble.
MLS is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, commemorating it Wednesday with the release of the MLS 25 Greatest.
โIn the early days, (teams had) like 11 quality players and then all of a sudden there was a significant drop off.
I think now you see that thereโs 11 quality players and then you go beyond and thereโs other quality players as well," he said.
