So, this has been said by just about everyone watching basketball in the Greater Salt Lake City over the last week, but man — as a Utah Jazz person, was it weird or was it WEIRD seeing Derrick Favors in a New Orleans Pelicans jersey on Friday?
Like few players before him, Favors and the Jazz were like syrup on pancakes, Itchy and Scratchy, John Stockton droppin’ dimes to the Mailman, Karl Malone. Simply put, they just went together.
Until they didn’t. Because sometimes in sports and in life, what should happen doesn’t.
