Copy+Paste:

Mehmet Okur is back with the Utah Jazz.

Not as a player, though. The lovable, sharpshooting Turkish big man isn't leaving the retirement life anytime soon.

Rather, Okur has agreed to be a team ambassador in an official capacity for the NBA team he played for from 2004-11.

Jazz CEO Greg Miller complimented Okur because, he said in a statement released by the team's PR crew, the center "has always carried himself with class and dignity."

Miller said Okur will work with players, sponsors and fans. The 2007 NBA All-Star will also help with the organization's alumni, community and fan relations efforts; the Jazz's business development; and perhaps even with basketball operations, according to the press release.

"Memo quickly became a fan favorite when he arrived in Utah and has maintained that popularity to this day," Jazz president Randy Rigby said in a statement. "Having spent the majority of his career here, he has always been a Jazzman and has maintained strong ties to the team and community.

Good news. Always good to see his face around.

So does this mean Kanter is staying?
Would seem to be a good sign.

This announcement came as a complete surprise to me. Apparently I didn't get the memo.

From Memo...

I was very happy and excited when I got the job offer from the Jazz after the two years. So, I want it to start as soon as possible. The job won't require me to be with the team every single day, that's a plus for me, especially at the beginning. They will give me a program/schedule. I will be together with the team on the game days, both home and away games. I will also be with them on some practices in preparation periods and during the season. I will help big players, primarily Enes, and other young players both on court and off court. I will attend to sponsorship meetings, for instance, I've participated in two golf events about ten days ago and had the chance to meet with some sponsors. So that way, I have kind of started to work officially. I think I might also get assigned with tasks if/when there is an international project like in Turkey or somewhere else.

I have mostly achieved all of my goals on the court, this is my first job off the court as of now. My goals, in later years, are to be an assistant coach in the NBA and raising the bar even higher afterwards. My biggest goal right now is to be an assistant coach in the NBA.

I'd really like to see Memo next to the court as an assistant coach someday.

This is really promising that Okur is back to the Jazz organization and Kanter is still in. Good things might happen out of this.

Lolz. İlk cümlede de biraz yamukluk var, ayrıca bir yerde virgülden sonra, bir yerde de noktadan sonra boşluk bırakmamış. Bir yerde de noktadan sonra küçük harfle başlamış.

Ayrıca bkz: dede de de dede dedi de de dede demedim

Şimdi abi, elimizde iki dede var, biri ötekine "de dede" dedirtmeye çalışıyor ya da öyle bir şey , öteki ise "de dede" demedim diyor. Sanırım eskilerin bir nüktesi.

Şu şekilde okuyabilirsin rahatlıkla. Dede de, "de dede" dedi de, "de dede" demedim.

No, no, no! I've spent hours to understand it the first time I read it. You're perfectly normal.

It's his smile, isn't it.
