Jazz gift Jae Crowder his dad's 20 year old shoes

Many probably didn't know too much about him when he arrived in the Rajon Rondo trade but in a year plus with the team he's become a fabric of their identity as a team. He earned a hefty new contract, the admiration of the fan base, and a firmly established spot in the team's starting rotation.

There's also been some weird moments, the latest right out of the all-star break before the Celtics' west coast matchup against the Jazz.

Corey Crowder, the man who created Jae, formally played for the Jazz in the 1991-1992 season before heading to Europe for most his remaining professional basketball career that lasted until 2005.
