Dan O'Sullivan

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 Dan O'Sullivan: 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.

A Bronx-born, 6'10" center out of Fordham, O'Sullivan broke into the NBA with the Jazz in 1990–91 after time with the CBA's Omaha Racers. Over six years he suited up for five NBA clubs — Utah, New Jersey, Milwaukee, Detroit and Toronto — the classic big man holding down the end of a roster.

The steadier work came overseas. He played for Kinder Bologna, Teamsystem Bologna and Scavolini in the Italian league, and closed out with AEK in Greece in 1999–2000, a decade after his first NBA minutes in a Jazz uniform.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUndrafted in 1990, he was called up from the CBA during his first professional winter and debuted for Utah that December.
