GOODBYE TO AN AMAZING MAN


On Friday, February 20, we lost a valiant member of the state of Utah. Larry H. Miller has been a fixture in this state for over 30 years. He was a "self-made" man. He started working as a stocker in a car dealership, and worked his way up. He owned all the Larry H. Miller car dealerships, Jordan Commans, Mayan, KJZZ TV, 1320 KFAN radio, the Bees baseball team, Miller Motor Racesway, the Energy Solutions Arena, and the Utah Jazz. He has provided jobs for thousands in the state, as well as entertained us. He has been the Utah Jazz owner since 1985. He also has taught business classes at BYU. You can reach for the stars and dream big with hard work and dedication like Mr. Miller!



This little Jazz note is on each of the player's jerseys. It has Mr. Miller's initials on it.

I voted for Kyle Korver on your quiz because I just love to watch him play. First off, he's easy on the eyes ;). But I also love watching him shimmy around the 3 point line waiting for the ball; his cuts along the baseline to catch the ball for a quick-release jumper at the top corner of the key; and any time he drives in for a layup or a dunk! Oh...and did I mention that he's cute???
