Looking forany autographDeShawn Stevenson
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 DeShawn Stevenson: 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.
Straight out of high school, Stevenson went 23rd to Utah in the 2000 draft and started games for the Jazz at 19. He finished second in the 2001 dunk contest and logged 222 games over four Utah seasons before a 2004 trade to Orlando. The first NBA player ever to wear number 92, he built it from the 9 he wore in Orlando and the 2 he wore in Utah and Washington.
HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah took him 23rd overall in 2000, straight out of high school. On February 19, 2004 the Jazz traded him and a future second-round pick to Orlando for Gordan Giricek.
