Cody Jones Bio

After graduating, Jones briefly worked in real estate. The five friends set up the channel on March 16, 2009. Their first video, titled ‘Backyard Edition’, featured the friends performing progressively more complex basketball shots in their backyard over a bet on sandwiches. Posted on April 8, 2009, the video garnered over 200,000 views within one week. Realising that they had something special there, Jones and others began to upload content on a regular basis.

Soon enough, professional endorsement offers and requests started to pour in. The first request came from the then-Sacramento Kings player Tyreke Evans, who was then a hopeful for the Rookie of the Year accolade. In the subsequent years, they have also collaborated with the likes of actor Paul Rudd, singer Tim McGraw, Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Russell Wilson, Ryan Swope, volleyball star Morgan Beck, Heisman Trophy winner quarterback Johnny Manzie, and the US Olympics team. Their official mascot is a panda.

Cody Jones was born on October 9, 1987, in Plano, Texas, US, in a religious family. They went to church on every Sunday. As a high school student, he played basketball and was part of the school’s basketball team which won the 2005-06 Class 5A State Championship for boys. By the end of high school, he entered a phase when he “strayed away from the Lord”. His attention apparently shifted more towards basketball and girls. He enrolled at Texas A&M University to study finance and real estate. Three months later, he rediscovered religion.

After completing his education, Jones married his long-time girlfriend Allison. In 2016, their daughter, Landry, was born. In 2018, the couple welcomed their second child, Lucy. In December 2020, their third child Easton was born.
