My First visit to SLC, a dream come true and the incredible Dennis Lindsey!

This is amazing, have to keep this at the top of the forum over whatever trade speculation there is.

Great to see the Jazz are doing this. Also great to see everything you've been doing for these kids. I was at that same Detroit game (studying in Michigan at the time), but I was sitting all the way at the top, so not quite as close.
 
Awesome story. I probably won't be at the game in person, but if I am I'd definitely love to meet up.

I've never come across this, but it certainly caught my attention. Do you ask this question of people often. I can see how you might use it to gain insight into how a person behaves, but do you feel like it really helps you? Also, just out of curiosity, what are your top 3 favorite books? And why?

More and more I do ask that question. But only of people I sincerely respect. People who have demonstrated character, culture, sacrifice, dedication, etc. I just read "ego is the enemy" and "leadership and self deception" which are two books about changing the culture of your home, business, etc. They were both really quality books that have me believing that the spurs read similar books to develop the same culture. After reading them I have seen tidbits on twitter feeds and insight into Dennis Lindsey and quin Snyder's comments regarding the culture we are developing. The other night quin got furious and the post game they asked him about it. He wasn't pissed at a play, but at a player's visible emotional reaction towards another player. He nipped it in the butt. That is a big take away from those two books.

I loved the book "unbreakable". It was AMAZING! The movie was a terrible and pithy and gutted the book of any meaning.
 
That is a way cool experience and an even cooler story, have you thought about if you're going to wear a similar t-shirt to the game (a personalized one) and if so what is the message going to be?

This is actually a very important matter to think about. Thank you!
I'd be happy to get some suggestions here. Something classy please.

I decided to make this trip a whole personal experience for me and meet as many fans, media and Jazz connected people I can. I will be in SLC on March 1st - 3rd. I will attend the Wolves game and the Nets game.
Since I became a member in this forum I became a true Jazz fan with, at last, a real community (no Jazz fans in Israel.. almost) so I want to thank you guys and also ask if anyone will want to meet me for a high five or something, or if you have any suggestions/ideas for me to make this SLC trip special. Also if you would know anyone that might be interested in helping the kids in my program I would love to hear.

Thanks guys

I work very close to the airport. If you're flying in during a day I'm working then I'd love to buy you a burger and a beer at Lofty's. I might as well leave that as an open invitation to anyone flying in to SLC, local or not.

Gonna take you up on that someday.
 
Very cool story. I had the honor of talking with Gail Miller recently. She was amazing and even took the time to write me a note which arrived in the mail afterwards. I've had some interaction with Greg and Steve as well and have been very impressed. If you haven't read Larry's biography, Driven, I highly recommend it. I picked it up with low expectations, and was absolutely blown away.
 
So tomorrow I am taking a noon time flight from Oakland to SLC to start my little journey. sooo excited.
I am gonna try to write my impressions and updates on Twitter. You are welcome to follow. My Twitter handle is @giladperry
