In 1975, Jón led the league again in scoring with 306 total points, passing Kolbeinn Pálsson in the last game of the season.[5] He helped the club win the 1975 Icelandic Basketball Cup and competed in the 1975–76 FIBA European Cup Winners' Cup the next season.[6]

In 1976 he helped Ármann break ÍR and KR twenty year monopoly in the national championship by beating KR 84–74 in the championship clinching game.[7][8][9]
