Where Do You Live? Inside Utah or Outside? (poll)

[prodigy]

Born in Idaho,family moved to Utah when I was 2. I have lived in Sandy, Utah most of my life. Been a fan since the ABA Utah Stars days. Started collecting basketball cards in the ‘90’s and have a lot of older Jazz cards, but stopped because it was getting too expensive. Spent a bonus on a late ‘80’s team signed basketball which I keep in a case. Anyone else collect Jazz cards or memorabilia?

My dad has Utah Stars warmups and a mini-ball signed from the late 80's jazz team as well. I did the same thing collected cards through the 90's and stopped because I got addicted to it because of Ebay and it got costly. Most of these cards arent worth much now, but I do have a Malone jersey card that is worth a bit. I have thought about heading over to Target and buying some packs just for that feeling once again.

Don't do it. Think of your friends and family!

Born in New Jersey, I moved to Utah at 4yo due to parents separation. I grew up in SLC, then Sandy, where I first became cognizant of the Jazz in the mid-80s. One of my friends brought me to a couple of games because his brother-in-law was NBA basketball player Clint Richardson. I became hooked in 86-87 when the young guys, Bailey, Stockton and Malone really started gelling. The 87-88 playoffs were a real thrill.

Since those early days, I graduated from the U, lived in Taiwan for a stretch in the 90s, moved to Cali for grad school in 99, moved back to Utah in 08, then moved to Seattle in 20 (about a month before Covid hit, ugh). I've seen the ups and downs of this scrappy little NBA franchise and still hang on to the dream that one day they might win it all. I'm 51 now, so there's still hope, right?

Another from Melbourne, Australia. Fan since the 90s. Haven't been to Utah yet, I keep stopping at Vegas for some reason. Was really close to going during that Houston playoff series but didn't and it's a big regret now.

Watch out for @Rubashov , he has been known to do things with goats.

Goats as in the animals, or goats as in Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, etc.?

Anything he could get his grubby little hands on. That's why MJ stays out of Australia.

I'm from Coventry, UK and like many others here been a fan since the early 90s. I was a kid and loved the team, the uniforms and the noise from the fans.
