Jr Jazz - Meet a Jazz Player Night

I met Karl Malone at one of these events in the 80's at Taylorsville High. We arrived late and walked in with him. I remember being in awe of how big he looked on TV, yet how skinny he was in real life. Also met Thurl at one of these.
 
None other than Stephen "Urkel" Howard showed at mine I believe. I was pretty young though, so they could have had the Jazz ball boy show up and I would've thought it was cool.
 
Mark Eaton. He showed us how to dribble two basketballs at once. I never used that skill in a game though. Thanks for nothing Big Mark.
 
I saw Blue Edwards and John Stockton. Stock totally bailed on all us kids after a short demo proving he could dunk, refusing to sign autographs. On court he was one of my all time favorite players. Off the court he is a royal douche bag to his fans. Many, many examples other than this. On the flip side, Karl and every other Jazz man I've met have been great.
