‘Still the Money Man?’ ( NBAE/Getty Images)
As I listened to the radio today, I turned to a local sports program. Broadcaster, Alema Harrington expressed his concerns about Memo not being the 3-point shooter of last year that earned him the nickname “money-man.” In the second half of last season and during this preseason; [...]
“Failure to plan for succession is planning to fail.”
- J. K. Williams; President & CEO– Williams Buggy Whip Co., Inc.; 1902
Mr. Williams might not have known in 1902 that the end was imminent, but obviously he was not successful in plotting a viable transition strategy for his company. Known as the buggy whip syndrome, [...]
While my last entry about Jerry Sloan as a leading man (you know - in the suaveness department) was a little sarcastic, it wasn’t sarcastic in the sense that Coach Sloan deserves to be rewarded for his leading role in the NBA. Not just by every coach or sportscaster ever interviewed about the Jazz [...]
John Stockton could have driven drunk through Temple Square on his way to referee a dog fight, while pumped full of steroids, crack cocaine and horse tranquilizers, and shouting anti-Republican rhetoric and he never would have been booed in Salt Lake City. Every summer Karl Malone could never decide if he was disgruntled or merely [...]
Unfortunately I don’t personally own a lot of $60 some-odd million dollar, income-producing assets. But if I did I can imagine that if the asset breaks down or begins to under-perform I’d scramble to get it back online, doing whatever it takes within economical reason to restore its revenue-producing capability.

It is so much easier to be negative about subjects. Criticism has a certain flow unlike praise. It is much easier to seem educated when you are constantly pointing out how everyone else isn’t. When creativity is low, negativity is high.
So on a positive note, I am very excited AK is committed to playing for [...]
“If I want to wear a dress, I’ll wear a dress.”- Dennis Rodman
Speaking your mind is so important, and you should tell people how you feel. I admire Dennis Rodman because he always said what he wanted to say. That is probably the only thing I admire about him, but at least it [...]
I don’t know him. He doesn’t know me. He’s just a player in a game I enjoy. I’m sure, just like you and me, he has a life outside of basketball. A family, friends, commitments and none-of-my-businesses’. Please lets talk about something else. No one has been traded or [...]
It was almost a quiet off-season for the Jazz. Sure there were moments of extreme interest such as the draft or the departure of Derek Fisher. But for the most part, the news coming off the NBA wire involved other teams, other players, or NBA officials. It was almost a quiet off-season, but somewhere on [...]
Not writing this blog about Andrei Kirilenko is going to be really hard. I am a big fan of his, but I understand his need to move on. I think that AK is stuck in the wrong system and he has so much more potential if he did get traded to, say, Phoenix. Moving on, [...]
