Have you ever met a Jazz Player?

Dwill could actually be really cool but as people have pointed out I believe he is bi-polar. He was either your best friend or the biggest prick in the world. The dude has a pretty crazy temper. He bought a new driver and within 3 holes he had snapped it over his knee. Him and Korver came all the time togethor.

Yea MJ's house is at Glenwild in Park City. If you ever go there and you are in front of the clubhouse look directly south and his home is at the top of that mountain that has a winding driveway to it. He would play 36 holes each day. That dude loves golf and he loves Scotch.

Some day I fully plan on kicking Jordans *** in a game of golf and making him cry.

He's not very good. The grips on his clubs were crazy. It was like holding a baseball bat. Each club has the Jordan sign in North Carolina blue imprinted on each club. His head covers were specially made Jordan shoes. Driver being the #1 first Jordan shoe, 3 wood the 3rd shoe...etc.

His Bentley also had Jordan signs sewn on each of the leather seats.

That summer I also saw Troy Aikman, Halle Berry's crazy ex husband, Goerge Lopez and also that stupid blue collar comedian Bill Engvall also lives up there.

Also David Bedinar of the LDS 12 apostles played there every Monday. It was weird seeing him and then look over and see Jordan smoking a cigar and drinking his scotch.
 
I met Larry H. Miller once. He was nice. I just chatted with him for a second after he gave a speech about starting a business. I wanted to ask him for a job with the Jazz but I chickened out.
 
Met Stockton a few times, he is quiet and doesn't like attention. Treats people the way he did the press.
Horny was a nice guy and loved talking with kids.
The guy I knew the best was mike brown. We would run into each other at the blockbuster, we would talk about what video games to rent. If I remember right, he liked the fast paced shooting games. He was just a normal down to earth guy but drove a nice black merc.
 
Pretty sure I just saw Kevin Murphy at a Subway with a ball boy (same place I saw Millsap a month ago where they're known to frequent). Dude was probably 6'4.5" an wasn't all of the reported 185 lbs.

Can anyone confirm his vehicle -- a late model black Tahoe?

Did it look like he had been crying?
 
I've met Stockton at Red Lobster (very quiet and didn't want attention). Watson recently and Park cafe. He was a douche. I met Koufus, he was really nice. Raja Bell was very nice, met him at Brio. I saw Millsap at the mall, if that counts. My wife met Favors and said he was extremely nice. I also met Jimmer! He was really cool too. I swear there's more, I just can't think of them.
On a side note, I met Josh Smith, Mike Bibby, and Joe Johnson (when they all played for the Hawks), they thought they were such bad asses.
 
I met Horny at a Jr. Jazz thingy way back in like '97 or '98. He was cool. I think Shandon Anderson was there, too, but I can't remember. I always looked up to Jeffy as a kid, I even copied his free throw routine.

Tell us more about Watson. Seems like we've had several reports of him not being too cool in person.
 
I've never talked to any of them besides Thurl Bailey when I was really little and then Antoine Carr when he came to my school.

But at the start of the '08-09 season, a friend and I were driving in downtown on our way to the Jazz/Clippers game. At a light my friend pointed out a car next to ours and said "Is that Jerry?". I looked over and sure enough, it was him. We were wondering why the hell he wasn't at the arena, and when we got to the game we noticed he wasn't there while the players were shooting around. I texted my dad and asked him about it, and my dad responded and told me that on the pregame show they had said that Phil Johnson was going to be head coach for that game because Jerry was sick.
 
Briefly spoke to Korver and D-Will in 07 or 08 when I worked at a golf course during high school. Korver was cool because my cousin was his roommate and best friend in college and he remembered me from my cousin's wedding a year or two earlier which was kind of cool/weird. Nice guy.

A friend saw Kanter at Maxwell's a couple of weeks ago, which I thought was pretty hysterical. I can't even imagine the lulz when you see Enes Kanter with a fake ID.
 
Way back in the day, some Jazz players would work out at the Deseret Gym during the summers. I think that was before they built the Zions Bank training facility (and obviously before they converted the DG to an LDS conference complex). I saw David Benoit, Bryon Russel and Jamie Watson working out there next to where I was playing. I didn't really talk to them though.

Also saw Karl Malone come into the Jamba Juice on 4th South in 1997. Crap am I that old?
 
Separately, some NBA players stay at the FourSeasons hotel in San Francisco when they come into town. I've seen Russel Westbrook and Maurice Cheeks.

Have you ever met a Jazz player? What were they like? Past or present, hell, even the coaching staff. Give us the dirt!

One time I was at Barnes and Noble at the Gateway and Frank Layden and his wife came in to grab a coffee and a bagel. Frank was just dressed in slacks and a striped polo with some loafers and his wife was in a fur coat and some big ole sunglasses, she almost looked like a movie star from the 30's. Anyway, they leave but forget one of their bags. My dad grabs the bag to run it out to them but Frank comes back, my dad gives him the bag, and Frank says "I'm gettin' old!" then proceeds to talk to my dad for a bit, just small talk. He was super nice.

I went bowling with some friends two weeks ago with DeMare Carroll and his cousin. He's pretty good at bowling.
 
Saw Stephen Howard at the Layton Tinseltown in 1994.

What can I say, I just end up rubbing elbows with greatness.
