Looking forany autographEmmanuel Mudiay
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 Emmanuel Mudiay: 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.
War shaped Emmanuel Mudiay's childhood before basketball could. Born in Kinshasa, he lost his father as a toddler, and his mother fled the Second Congo War with her sons, winning asylum in the United States in 2001. A decade later he was one of Texas's top recruits — and he skipped college entirely, signing a $1.2 million contract in China before Denver took him seventh overall in 2015.
All-Rookie Second Team honors and a buzzer-beating 35-foot rainbow marked his Nuggets years, followed by a stretch with the Knicks and the 2019–20 season with the Jazz. He has since carried his game to Puerto Rico with the Piratas de Quebradillas.
HOW HE CAME & WENTHe signed with Utah as a free agent on July 20, 2019, for one season.

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.
