I dont know about you guys, but one of my most proud moments to be a fan of our Utah Jazz was when Greg Foster had a nice play in the Finals . He stopped right in front of Bulls bench and pointed his finger than proceeded to rip open his own heart!

It was incredible, do you guys remember?
 
I remember him slitting his throat, but not ripping his heart open........hm....violent dude.
 
Don't remember that, but I do remember Shaq pushing Foster in game 1 of the 98 WCF, and Foster did the complete opposite of what Ostertag did earlier in the season - he got up walked right over to Shaq and got in his face. Jazz won by 30 and swept the Lakers. Foster didn't do much else that series but the message was sent.

Earlier that season, Foster also made a bone-headed throat-slitting gesture to the Lakers bench that angered them so much that Rick Fox warned the Jazz coaches someone was ready to take Foster out. Fortuately the game was a decided and Sloan pulled the starters, but Fox was called for a flagarant the next time they played.
Foster was a really emotional player, but he spent alot of time in Sloan's doghouse because he would take 3's outside of the Jazz offense and would commit dumb TO's trying to put the ball on the floor and create, but he did have some great playoff moments on those WCF Jazz teams.
 
that he did my friend, thanks for the flashbacks, and you're right (it was a throat slice) might have ripped his heart out as well
 
It is amazing the Jazz got to the Finals with a guy like Foster as part of the rotation.

When you have a one manned team like Karl Malone? Easily understandable.

People forget how incredible he was. The only somewhat decent comparison today would be Amare or Blake Griffin. Sorry Kris Humphries....

Maybe the Jazz could hire Foster onto staff as some kind of pseudo coach/trainer and perform his patent heart removal technique on this current roster, not that he would be able to remove something that isn't there but he could hopefully put one in.... you know since he's already in there chest cavity and all.
