During one of his 57 games with the Jazz during the 1991-92 season, Corey Crowder missed two layups in a row from John Stockton.
Stockton, who was not accustomed to having his assists taken away from him, had some words for Crowder: “He said, ‘Hey, young fella — if you miss another one, I’m not gonna pass you the ball again.’”
Some 26 years later, the welcome has been a little warmer for Crowder’s son, Jae Crowder, who was acquired last month in a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Coming into Friday night’s game against the Timberwolves, the 27-year-old had averaged 13 points per game in his first six with the Jazz.
