This is the best time to be a Utah Jazz fan in over 20 years. Please take it all in and enjoy every minute and moment of what’s happening right now because these golden eras will always fly right by before you know it
📹| "The biggest thing for me, I love my teammates, bro. This is, like, the best group of guys I've ever been around hooping and it makes me love coming to work."

Royce is in a better place
Bogey is in a better place
Don is in a better place
Rudy can go to the Mall of America whenever he feels like it
Jingles is in a better place
We passed on Desmond Bane to add a center to a roster already full of centers in a league that has no centers and now we have no centers to play against a team full of centers
I love how involved Donovan has been in this all-star weekend even though he’s no longer a jazzman. Hopefully he’ll always consider Utah one of his homes
The city I live in has had a franchise that has existed longer than the Jazz and has still never hosted an all-star weekend. Jazz fans are extremely lucky to get picked to host not once, but twice. This weekend overall was a treat.
Two years from now, you'll miss the guys we traded today as much as you miss Emmanuel Mudiay, Georges Niang, Juwan Morgan, Rayjon Tucker and Royce O'Neale today.
Kawhi Leonard will be the eighth All-Star to miss at least one game in these playoffs, according to
@EliasSports
, establishing a new NBA record.
Leonard joins Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley, James Harden and Kyrie Irving on that list.
(Also, friendly reminder that Rudy Gobert nearly singlehandedly toppled the entire US men’s basketball team in the gold medal game at last summer’s Tokyo Olympics).
I think John Collins is the first good basketball player who's both not past his prime and not on a rookie deal the Jazz have traded for since like Donyell Marshall
No matter what happens, you are a national icon and a timeless inspiration. The great Filipino hope. A legacy etched in stone and a metaphorical banner that stretches from Salt Lake City to Araneta Coliseum.
Draymond Green cried three weeks ago when his buddy played in a basketball game but that got swept under the rug. He’s a lying hypocrite which makes him tailor made for cable tv.
Starting out watching the Jazz in the late 90s, I prayed for a center every single year. Then one day, we finally came out of the proverbial desert. There stood Rudy Gobert. One of the few things in this life that have been worth waiting for.
After I’ve been exposed to this for a month, I’m even more close to certain this is the worst fucking uniform in NBA history. I can’t come up with one that compares yet.
Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, Derrick Favors, and Joe Ingles advanced the Jazz franchise’s trajectory more than anyone since Deron Williams. And I’m thankful for all four of them and their positive tenures here.
This is the game the Jazz beat writers are talking about they they knew the jazz weren’t going to win when they were up this much and it was the night that officially ended their season
