It seems like only yesterday that the Utah Jazz acquired Derrick Favors as a 19-year-old rookie in the trade that sent Deron Williams to the Nets and changed the franchise forever. Now, the gentle giant who has transformed himself into one of the team’s cornerstone players is celebrating his 24th birthday.
Happy Birthday to my bro @dfavors14 ! (2nd) best rim protector in the league!
