Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry honored New Orleans Pelicans standout Herb Jones by designating May 28 as “Not On Herb” day, celebrating Jones’ selection to the NBA All-Defense First Team. Jones had an impressive season, finishing as one of only four NBA players to amass at least 100 steals and 60 blocks.
