Jr Jazz - Meet a Jazz Player Night

default

Well-Known Member
Last night was the annual Jr Jazz night where kids/players in the southwest end of Salt Lake County got to meet a Utah Jazz player at West Jordan High School. This year it was Paul Milsap. Last year it was Devin Harris. Harris was much more talkative and open, but Millsap was nice, just mumbled quietly alot. I am sure some of you either have Jr Jazz memories of meeting a player or taking a kid to meet a player on a night like that. Details?
 
The Jr. Jazz kids are lucky these days. It was usually worse players than Millsap when I was in Jr. Jazz. Jeff Hornacek was hands down the best player I got to see at one of these. The next best was Jeff Malone. Walter Bond did it one year.

Millsap creating some goodwill with team execs and lobbying to stay in Utah?

Nice gesture by Paul. Most of the time it is the scrubs or new players who do these kinds of activities.

Look how unenthusiastic he looks. He's clearly pissed off at Jazz management, and has one foot out the door. The way he's holding that mic screams "trade me now!"
 
Several years ago I went to my old elementary school when Memo came to visit. He had to bend over pretty far to walk through any of the doors. The next day he missed the Jazz game due to "back pains" lol.
