Utah Jazz guard Alec Burks honors cousin with hot pink sneakers for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

SALT LAKE CITY — Alec Burks is fairly quiet.

The Utah Jazz guard’s answers are often short with the media as he would much rather come to work and keep a low profile.

But during the Utah Jazz’s season opener in Sacramento, Burks decided to make a statement without ever saying a word.

During the Jazz’s 123-117 win against the Kings, Burks debuted in his hot pink Adidas Dame 4 sneakers in honor of his fiancée, Elyse Hart-Shelton’s cousin, Melissa Hemmann, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

He broke them out again for the home opener against Golden State on Friday, too.
