Mehmet Okur Appreciation Thread (2004 - 2011) - You Will Be Missed ;_ ;

Memo had one of the smoothest jump shots for a big man I've ever seen. Imagine him and Hornacek on the same team... And he was a better defender and rebounder than he was generally given credit for. Not super-star level, but better than many other NBA C's...
 
Love ya Memo! We will really miss you! I'm happy that you're going to get to play with Deron again. I got the feeling that you guys really liked playing with each other. That'd also be fun if the Nets signed AK. I also hear that Ronnie Brewer is available. That'd be so cool if the Jazz were all reunited in New Jersey instead of Chicago. Cuz no true Jazz fan forgets those Finals pains we went thru against the Bulls. :) lol

Stay awesome, my friend. I'll be rooting for you in New Jersey!
 
Of course this is a free message board but I sincerely request; It would be very classy(like Memo) if only sincere appreciation messages were written down rather than creepy jokes. It was already unfair that Memo has being as the easiest target for all the blaming.

Anyway, thanks for everything that you have done for my Jazz team Memo. I wish you could retire there.

I will miss you in Jazz uniform and always remember with it. And now I have to watch that funny team just for you.:(

I thought about this once. What if Memo had been born 10 years earlier. Imagine him on those '97 and '98 teams instead of Ostertag.

I'm sorry to see Memo go. Class act, great memories. Actually, though, we should be happy for him. He'll play more in NJ and be teamed with D-Will, who knows how to use him. If there was a chance for a second act to his career, it'll be higher in NJ than in Utah.

Love ya Memo.
 
Memo, I owe you a lot. My wife hated the jazz but always identified with you for some reason and eventually you helped her come around to basketball. Instead of getting nagged to Change the channel she began supporting the obsession. Never forgetcha mang.
 
Going to really miss memo.

I hope he does really well with the Nets. He will get a standing ovation from me when he returns to play against the Jazz.
 
Love you Memo!! Expect a nice warm reception when you come back here. We'll miss our Money Man! Always down to earth, kind, and sincere. Never a rude or cold response, never a diva attitude. Memo said he wanted to retire here and would have taken less than market value to do so. Athletes like that are rare. Good luck in NJ to one of the highest quality people in the NBA.
