}}William McNeil "Bill" Jones (February 3, 1914 – April 9, 2006) was an American professional basketball player.[1] He played in all five games for the National Basketball League's Toledo Jim White Chevrolets before the team disbanded early into the 1942–43 season.[1][2] Jones was one of the earliest African-American players in the NBL and is considered a pioneer of integration in professional basketball.[3]

He played collegiately at the University of Toledo,[4] followed by stints with barnstorming teams as well as the Harlem Globetrotters.[3][5] He eventually moved to Los Angeles, California.[3]
