SALT LAKE CITY — Lindon resident Skyler Hone drove to West Jordan Thursday to have his locks trimmed into Utah Jazz star Rudy Gobert's style, complete with the Frenchman's signature "magic swirl" insignia.
"I'm getting it because I like the way Rudy plays with passion," Hone, 23, said enthusiastically. "He brings leadership to the team. I just like the way he plays, and he has so much talent."
Jazz fever is alive and well in Utah as fans celebrate the team's first playoff appearance since 2012.
Hone isn't the only one walking around town coiffed like Gobert or fellow Jazz star Gordon Hayward.
