It appears there will not be a National Basketball Association season this year. The players and owners are at a stalemate today. I was very involved with bringing the Jazz to Utah from New Orleans. This photo is of Larry Hatfield and Sam Battistone, owners of the Jazz and me at opening night of the very first NBA game in the old Salt Palace. I was given the honor of tossing up the ball at center court to start the game. Ten years later, David Checketts, Jazz president, again gave me the honor of starting the game for the 10th anniversary of the team in Utah. I love the Jazz and proud that 33 years later I'm still around to be a fan.

UTAH JAZZ/NBA SEASON??
