Utah Jazz fans, rejoice! In six weeks, Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert and the gang will return to the court for their 2018-19 season opener against the Sacramento Kings. For me, that October 17 date couldn’t come soon enough. All work and no hoops makes this scribe a dull boy, and, for most of the summer, old game clips have been my only solace.
At a certain point, even that doesn’t quite fill the void. However, during my most recent trip down the Jazz YouTube rabbit hole, I rediscovered something that gives me endless good vibes — stories about Jazz legend, Hall of Famer and bucket-getter extraordinaire Adrian Dantley’s unlikely post-hoops career.
