Brevin Knight

One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Brevin Knight: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.

Nine NBA teams employed this quick-handed point guard between 1997 and 2009, and Utah was the final stop — he arrived in a July 2008 trade for Jason Hart to play out his last season. Knight left Stanford as its all-time leader in assists and steals, went 16th to Cleveland in 1997, finished second in the league in steals as a rookie and made the All-Rookie First Team, averaging 6.1 assists for his career.

The microphone came next. In 2010 he joined the Memphis Grizzlies broadcast team as a color commentator, a chair he still held as of 2024. He and his wife Deena have two daughters, Brenna and Kayla, and a son, Donevin.

HOW HE CAME & WENTThe Clippers traded him to Utah for Jason Hart on July 23, 2008. Knight gave the club one season. His contract expired and Utah kept Ronnie Price and drafted Eric Maynor instead.

A card. A photo. A program. A page from an old autograph book. Anything he put his name on.

You do not need to know what it is. Take a photo with your phone and send it to me. I will tell you what you have, for free, whether or not anything comes of it. I pay the postage both ways. I answer every message myself, usually the same day.

One question so I know you are a person and not a machine. Any Jazz follower will know it.
