I love NBA All-Star Weekend!  It’s really no exaggeration when I say it’s my 2nd favorite sporting event of the year.  The Dunk Contest, 3 Point Shootout, even the Skills Challenge is a good time. The game itself is unbelievable!  Seeing the best athletes in the world on the court at the same time, playing [...]

Houston was nicknamed “Clutch City” after the Rockets won back-to-back championships in the mid 90’s.  But, it seems only right for them to relinquish that title to the Jazz.
A new study came out this week that listed the most clutch players (a player that is known for making baskets at the end of a game) [...]

There I was sitting, giggling and telling everyone that we were finally going to win on the road on a back-to-back!
Just then, part way through the 4th quarter with the Jazz up 13 Dirk Nowitzki’s statline appears on the screen.  “Wow, Dirk only has 11 points.  He’s not the guy you want to get hot,” [...]

With Halloween upon us, I used my Jazzbots credentials to get a peek at this Saturday night’s exclusive NBA costume party.  Many of the outfits will come as no surprise with players dressing as their look alikes or alter egos.  Some costumes will surely terrify while others could serve as a preview for life after [...]

First the good news from last night:

The Yankees lost.
Memo was only out a few minutes after getting plowed through by Nene in the first 24 seconds of the game. This was impressive since he apparently injured both major leg joints on the same play. I’m so jaded by injuries that I didn’t even bat an [...]

A number of news articles last week mentioned how excited some of the Jazz players were about visiting Europe for a couple of pre-season games.  AK and Memo played soccer in their younger years and were eagerly anticipating their field trip to a Chelsea soccer match in London.
In all honesty, I’m not a huge soccer [...]

Many players and coaches will self-effacingly state that awards and honors do not mean much to them.  That may be the truth in many cases, as they will place the team’s success ahead of their own personal accolades (or at least they want that perception).  Still, I admit that I loved reading C.J. Miles’ tweet [...]

As is the case with most rabid Jazz fans, I find myself checking every hoops-related website multiple times each day. Likewise, sports radio is a regular companion in both the car and the office (but not at home…want to keep peace with my wife and girls!). Besides trying to stay on top of current events, [...]

…does it take until you get to the center of an NBA championship ring?  41,236.  Which….means absolutely nothing, but I like obscure questions referencing candy commercials from my youth.
The better (and more logical) question is: Are the Jazz, as currently constructed, a championship caliber team?  The argument of what components make up a title contender [...]

Finally, some Jazz related news!  It’s related, not specifically about basketball but I’ll take dodgeball involving Jazz players.  Every day when I’m in the car I scan the sports radio searching for something, anything even slightly NBA related.  Alas, the only thing nationally is baseball and football, and the majority of the local talk involves [...]
