Calbert Cheaney

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 Calbert Cheaney: 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.

Nobody has scored more Big Ten points — 2,613, all at Indiana, where Cheaney swept the 1993 national player of the year awards under Bob Knight and reached the 1992 Final Four. Washington drafted him sixth in 1993, and he gave the NBA thirteen seasons in five uniforms, including the Jazz in 2002–03.

He appeared in the film 'Blue Chips' and in a Crystal Waters music video with his Bullets teammates, then built a second career on the bench and in the front office — assistant coach at Golden State, director of basketball operations and later of player development back home at Indiana.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah signed him away from Denver on a one-year minimum contract in July 2002, and let it lapse a year later.
