SALT LAKE CITY — Less than 24 hours after a thrilling 124-123 loss to the Golden State Warriors at Vivint Arena Friday, Jae Crowder got dressed up as Willy Wonka.
The massive, 6-foot-6, 235-pound Utah Jazz forward was all smiles while posing for photos in the costume for his young princess the next day.
“Jada Wonka & The Chocolate Factory” was the theme of his 5-year-old daughter Jada’s fifth birthday party in Utah on Saturday, which family, friends and Jazz teammates all supported.
What the public didn’t see, though, is the work Crowder put in before the celebration.
