Btw, my two favorite dunks of all time are the VC one that Mitchell did and one iggy did when he threw it off the back of the backboard and left from out of bounds.

(I was tempted to throw in the Dwight Howard Superman free throw line dunk just to piss off cy)

He doesnt have responsibilities. He doesnt work for the Jazz anymore. He last worked for the Suns. The Jazz havent wanted him around for a while, he doesnt have to schmooze up to the new rookie.

Um, Okur, the Jazz's team ambassador.

Okur has agreed to be a team ambassador in an official capacity for the NBA team he played for from 2004-11.

Jazz CEO Greg Miller complimented Okur because, he said in a statement released by the team's PR crew, the center "has always carried himself with class and dignity."

Miller said Okur will work with players, sponsors and fans. The 2007 NBA All-Star will also help with the organization's alumni, community and fan relations efforts; the Jazz's business development; and perhaps even with basketball operations, according to the press release.

"Memo quickly became a fan favorite when he arrived in Utah and has maintained that popularity to this day," Jazz president Randy Rigby said in a statement. "Having spent the majority of his career here, he has always been a Jazzman and has maintained strong ties to the team and community.

Charles Barkley just said the all star game has sucked the last few years. How dare he! That's so disrespectful. Keep your mouth shut, Barkley if you have nothing positive to say.

What he's saying is, although Memo did not like the dunk contest, it's not a jab at Donovan or his game. People, on this message board, are finding it hard not to equate assessments of last nights dunk contest to the contestants play in NBA games.

You'd have to be insanely socially inept to believe that calling the contest the "worst ever" isn't any dig at the contestants.

This can't be said enough. Anyone who hasn't watched his post contest press conference, do yourself a favor, go watch it. We already knew how lucky we were to have him on our team because of his play, but this guy is an amazing person. He has his head on straight. He seems like a genuinely kind, thoughtful and loving person.

If anyone can handle being a star in the NBA I think it's him. I hope he retires a Jazz man. If he does they're gonna need to make room for another statue.
