Utah Jazz’s Kyle Korver encourages 2019 Creighton graduates to ‘shoot it to make it’ as commencement speaker

SALT LAKE CITY — Sixteen years after earning his bachelor’s degree in visual communications, Utah Jazz sharpshooter Kyle Korver returned to Omaha, Nebraska, to his alma mater Creighton University as a commencement speaker over the weekend.

While it remains unclear whether the 38-year-old will return for his 17th season in the league, as he mulls retirement, Korver received an honorary doctorate of humane letters degree on Saturday and encouraged Creighton’s graduating class of 2019 to approach life as he does on the hardwood.

“Remember: Don't shoot it to shoot it,” Korver told the group.
