Kragthorpe: Griffith helps Jazz blend old and new
Salt Lake Tribune — Kragthorpe: Griffith helps Jazz blend old and new Updated Aug 17, 2010 10:23AM MDT More accustomed to rebounding than runway modeling, Al Jefferson asked for a towel backstage and anxiously wiped his face before climbing the stairs in his first appearance in a Jazz uniform. Darrell Griffith took one look at the music-note logo he wore across his chest for 10 seasons and just smiled. “That’s the footprint of the franchise,” he said. The Jazz managed to mix in Jefferson’s public introduction with Griffith’s homecoming Monday evening during the Jazz’s Fan Fest at the EnergySolut... Copyright ...
August 17, 2010Malone shares his big moment
Salt Lake Tribune — Malone shares his big moment By Steve Luhm The Salt Lake Tribune Updated Aug 15, 2010 12:13AM MDT Springfield, Mass. • When country singer Neal McCoy was casting the video for his hit song “Last of a Dying Breed,” one of the first calls he made went to ex-Utah Jazz star Karl Malone. The two had become fast friends since a chance meeting at a Louisiana casino a few years earlier, and McCoy thought “Last of a Dying Breed” told Malone’s story. Former baseball star Nolan Ryan, who like Malone comes from a rural background and enjoyed a self-made Hall of Fame career, was also asked to appear in ...
August 14, 2010Kragthorpe: Road from Utah to Springfield gets easier
Salt Lake Tribune — Kragthorpe: Road from Utah to Springfield gets easier By Kurt Kragthorpe The Salt Lake Tribune Updated Aug 15, 2010 12:13AM MDT As of the early 1980s, this would have seemed silly. If any NBA organization was going to deliver three players and a coach to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in a three-year period, it certainly would not be the Jazz. This is the franchise that missed a chance to draft Magic Johnson, sold Dominique Wilkins and nearly moved twice, even after John Stockton and Karl Malone arrived in Utah. The Jazz’s unlikely success story continued to play out this w...
August 14, 2010Playing on the ’92 Olympic team was a dream for Stockton
Salt Lake Tribune — Playing on the ’92 Olympic team was a dream for Stockton By Steve Luhm The Salt Lake Tribune Updated Aug 14, 2010 12:50AM MDT Springfield, Mass. • John Stockton fondly remembers his days with the Dream Team, not as much for winning the 1992 Olympic gold medal but for the camaraderie that was created among basketball’s greatest players on the sport’s all-time team. The memories of the good times in Barcelona raced through Stockton’s head after he arrived for his second induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 11 months. Last September, he was enshrined for his individual accom...
August 13, 2010Malone’s Hall of Fame blazer? A special delivery
Salt Lake Tribune — Malone’s Hall of Fame blazer? A special delivery By Steve Luhm The Salt Lake Tribune Updated Aug 14, 2010 12:50AM MDT Springfield, Mass. • Karl Malone received his official Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame blazer during a brief ceremony Friday morning. A few minutes later, he made a slick pass — as meaningful as any delivered by former teammate John Stockton, the NBA’s all-time assist leader. After being presented with his jacket, Malone spotted a young man in a wheelchair who was attending the event with his family. Malone walked over and visited with him for a few minutes before handing o...
August 13, 2010Update from the Hall of Fame: Malone’s blazer a little too small
Salt Lake Tribune — Update from the Hall of Fame: Malone’s blazer a little too small By Steve Luhm The Salt Lake Tribune Updated Aug 13, 2010 02:36PM MDT Springfield, Mass. • Former Utah Jazz star Karl Malone received his commemorative blazer during a brief ceremony Friday morning at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Malone and the other Class of 2010 members will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the Springfield Symphony Hall beginning at 5 p.m. MDT. Each inductee, including members of the 1960 and 1992 United States’ Olympic teams, were presented a custom-made blue blazer with an official Hall of Fl...
August 13, 2010Malone worked his way into the Hall of Fame
Salt Lake Tribune — Malone worked his way into the Hall of Fame By Steve Luhm The Salt Lake Tribune Updated Aug 13, 2010 03:29PM MDT Springfield, Mass. • The second practice of preseason two-a-days had ended and the Utah Jazz players were back at the hotel, resting weary bones and aching muscles after a pair of grueling sessions designed to whip their summertime bodies into shape. Before a welcome night’s sleep, however, John Stockton, Jeff Hornacek and Adam Keefe were going out for dinner. Karl Malone was supposed to go with them but when Stockton called his room, there was no answer. After a few more uns...

August 11, 2010Reflecting on the Dream Team
Salt Lake Tribune — Reflecting on the Dream Team Steve Luhm The Salt Lake Tribune Updated Aug 12, 2010 04:33PM MDT Springfield, Mass. • The Dream Team’s first step toward Olympic domination and Friday night’s induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame was a nightmare. Losing to a bunch of college kids? Inexplicably, it happened. Before the Dream Team, NBA players were ineligible for the Olympics. But that changed when FIBA, basketball’s world governing body, changed its rules and permitted professionals to participate at Barcelona in 1992. It was a time of wonderment and great excitement, as fans h......
