Endearing Favors Video

[Sneakers]

This popped up on my Twitter earlier today.

Its a video of Favors while on his Jr Jazz tour, interacting with the fans (kids) and talking to the camera. Check it out if you're bored and have a few minutes. Shows of some sides of Favors' personality...he comes off really well in this video. He reminds me of Karl Malone for some reason when he talks... I think it might be his accent.

Highly recommend you watch.. as a Jazz fan during these dry times (the offseason).

Apparently we need to incorporate Favors' half court shot into the offense.

I think he actually enjoys Utah. I think there's a good chance he plays his whole career here.

Almost half way through the 1st of 2 bleak months.

Keep posting stuff like this, and it will go a little faster.

Thank you

Love the "Al Jefferson has a man crush on Lil Wayne" bit. I've never seen Favors laugh so much!

Thnx for posting, also makes more sense of keeping the bucket of chicken away from Enes and that much more funny as well.

Thanks for posting this!
Haha, yeah, Keep the food away from Enes.
I was surprised to hear Derrick's pregame meal... Two foot longs and a six inch. Dang. Boy can eat too.
Found it interesting when reading the description that this isn't part of the players contract, and that they do it voluntarily. That's pretty cool.
Derrick seems to be a really good guy. Hopefully he can be our next All Star, and finish out his career as a Jazz Player.
Oh, and Derrick, you need to keep working on the Golf game

I think their contract "requires" them to do community work.

From the article linked to in the OP:

People would assume this sort of thing is written into a player’s contracts. It’s not. Favors volunteered to go on this trip and travel up and around an entire state.

I'm impressed. (I also would have assumed it was in the contract.)

Wow. The clip with shot after shot falling in was amazing. I wonder how many shots got edited out.

(And giving the kid back his dollar was very cute.)

Just makes the story that much better.
