Despite being a guy who lives in a Utah Jazz world, I’m not one who rocks a ton of Jazz merch. I write about the team daily, have followed all of its comings and goings religiously since 1991 and have memories of cheering for Adrian Dantley as a toddler, but I’ve only really sported three Jazz jerseys in my lifetime.
One was Karl Malone’s No. 32 — naturally. Deron Williams’ No. 8 came next when he and Carlos Boozer led the team’s Mid-2000s resurgence. Finally, Derrick Favors’ No. 15 in road blue found its way into my wardrobe.
