Too Much Cute Stuff Starring A Little Girl, Ricky Rubio and the Jazz Mascot

Warning that the images in the video below may be too cute for you to handle.




Any thoughts I may have had about the Jazz Bear not being a really chill mascot were thrown out in the wind after seeing the long haired bear take an adorable fan to hang with the players while the game was momentarily paused in last night's game.

Adorableness continues when Ricky Rubio decides to steal the moment from Jazzy Bear and transform it into a game of catch. In fact, if there was an nba player that seemed like he would be the best passer for delivering a soft yet accurate pass to a little girl, please tell me because Rubios the only guy on my list.  

To conclude it all, the Jazz bear tosses the little fan onto his shoulder and walks into the distance.  Hopefully to take her back to her family, but also to put a bow on this gift wrapped package of cuteness.  

The Battle for the Belt: the Last Place Jazz Have Got it Now

Thanks to the Sacramento Kings, the team with the worst record in the league now is holding the championship belt.  This isn't entirely the worse thing because the whole point of this belt idea was that any team, no matter their record, could hold the belt as long as they win the game in which they play a belt-holding team.

So make your predictions on whether the Jazz defend the belt against the Nuggets below or whether the Nuggets will become the 10th team to hold the belt this season.

Jazz Bear Mascot and a Drunk Rockets Fan

From Monday's Rockets and Jazz game, I bring to you poetic justice delivered by a headband wearing bear to a pair of fans who dared to show their love for a team other than the Jazzies at EnergySolutions Arena.




I was especially impressed that even in the heat of the moment J.Bear determined the answer to how to hit two jerks with one bucket so quickly.  Excellent decision to splash on mr. Clean-head because i mean c'mon, any bro who claims his Rockets allegiance by rocking a Sir Charles Rockets jersey can not possibly be a genuine supporter of the team.

Really proud of Jazzy Bear for this moment so awesomely caught on cellphone video.  I wasn't even that big of a fan of Utah's mascot before that night, but now please do consider me a fan of your work and your new friend, JB.

John Stockton, Ultimate Love Guru

Check out this honest and hilarious interview with one of the greatest point guards in the history of basketball about how he married his long-time wife.

Some Highlights:

"Twofer Coupon on the first"
"Painting with my momma on the second"
"Police ruined the first proposal"
"Sweatpants and Romance"
"Wrong word"

Not surprised by how humble of a courtship the Stocktons had, cause in terms of NBA players and even people in general, John Stockton always came off as one of those low-key and low-maintenance type of guys.  With all the stories about marriages going down the drain in professional sports and particularly in the NBA,  really hope you enjoy hearing a marriage can turn out pretty good (6 kids!) even sans all the fluff and flash that our culture makes dating out to be nowadays.  Hats off to Stock for finding his lifetime teammate and the great stories he has from the journey.

Dwyane Wade is a tattle-tale

Mr. Wade got some front-row fashionista in Utah thrown out last night.

For proof see the video below.  A scary coincidence that the security guard doing the 'throwing' out looks like my 5th grade teacher. Whatever Mr. studs on his white pants did, it worked as Wade and the Heat were beat by 7 despite a ferocious 4th quarter comeback after Wade tattled and got the bro thrown out.

 Way worth it, jazzie brother.

Game Recap: Clippers v. Jazz

I definitely subscribe to the school of thought that any analysis from preseason games as a reflection of a team's future success is as accurate as judging a child's ability to tie their shoes with their future IQ.  There are way too many other factors that could come into play and there are probably a bunch of future geniuses who wear velcro shoes and curly laces.  It's far too early to tell. 

However, if you watched last night's pre-season game, you would probably make the conclusion that the Clippers bench is not only crazy athletic, but they are going to keep the Clips in so many close games this year.  CP3 and the rest of the starters are really going to be able to rest down the stretch and when they have had their fill of Gatorade, check back in and finish off teams.
