While Watts did not play for the Utah Jazz, he did help keep up the ‘cool’ factor for the Jazz franchise. He came off the bench for our team in the 1977-78 season. Sure, they didn’t make the playoffs or anything by going 39-43. But they were one of the coolest clubs around, head coached by Elgin Baylor, and featuring star players like Pistol Pete Maravich, Gail Goodrich, and Truck Robinson.

Watts signature style was the bald head and askew headband.

Jerry Sloan isn’t a fan.
