SALT LAKE CITY — There are some basic morsels of information about Jack Cooley that the NBA — even his team, the Utah Jazz — have been getting wrong.
For one thing, Cooley is not from Evanston, Illinois. His hometown is Glenview, Illinois, which is about eight miles away from his faux-home on the shore of Lake Michigan.
And another thing, Cooley’s birthday is not April 4 like the NBA originally listed it (even fooling the Jazz, who tweeted him a nice message on the wrong day).
Cooley was born eight days later — April 12.
