As I'm sitting here multitasking like the person the book "Nerding 101" is based on, I have decided to continue on our journey through Jazz Memory Lane.
By popular demand (drum roll)... Antoine "Big Dawg" Carr!! Blah blah I don't know who you are blah blah blah Google says: blah blah blah 3ish rebounds per game blah blah 7ish points per game blah blah blah blah sweet glasses blah blah blah not that big, also not a dog blah blah blah hero of game 5 of the finals blah blah 6th man blah blah blah probably most awesome guy ever blah blah blah blah
Konstantine Demetrios "Kosta the Dingle" Koufos, first of all, best name ever. Kosta the Dingle hahahaha. Anywho, were to start...this gentle Greek Giant could have been so great, but we just didn't give him a long enough chance. Averaging at about 6 minutes per game over 2 season, he did everything he could to make the most of that limited playing time. Unfortunately, we decided to package him up and ship him off to Minnesota in exchange for one Al Jefferson. Hmm, I wonder who won that deal! And just look at him spin that ball!!!
Mo Williams, this fearless floor general was originally drafted by the Jazz, but then left to mature before coming back post Deron Williams to lead our team to the glory land! Unfortunately for him, we came up short and didn't make the playoffs while he was with us. However, he scored an impressive 12 points a game and dished out 6 assists, not bad for a second round draft pick on his second try.
Who can forget this diamond in the rough? Of course I'm talking about Jacque Vaughn. At 4.5 ppg he kept opponents on their toes, all game long. Fun Fact: in his free time he likes to read and write poetry. Side note, he was also a fantastic coach for the Orlando Magic before being unfairly fired.
John Starks, "Starks's fiery intensity often led to emotional displays on the court. Reggie Miller, star shooting guard for the Indiana Pacers, was often a provocateur and target of his ire; during one playoff game, Starks was ejected for headbutting Miller." Fun Fact: John Starks was the first player in NBA history to make 200 3-pointers in one season. He came to us at the end of his career, which was unfortunately not his prime. He did however shoot a fantastic 80% from the free throw line. Fun fact, Starks once "busted a nut", had it removed...and played the next day...Chuck Norris style!
