SALT LAKE CITY — It’s become customary for professional athletes to pen farewell letters to their respective cities when they depart.
However, Utah Jazz players Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert are trying to change that narrative. The teammates have signed a multi-year partnership with Vivint Smart Home to collaborate on several advertising and marketing campaigns such as the “Letters to Utah” campaign.
Letters from Mitchell and Gobert released today, ahead of the Jazz's 2018-19 home opener against Golden State, and will be used on Jazz TV broadcasts and social media.
“Dear Utah, from the moment I stepped off the court as a 20-year-old kid, you’ve been behind me,” Mitchell said.
