Henry James

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 Henry James: 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.

Out of St. Mary's University in Texas, the 6-foot-8 forward scrapped through parts of seven NBA seasons with seven teams, including the 1992-93 Jazz. With Atlanta in 1996-97 he tied a record by hitting seven three-pointers in a single quarter. The CBA knew him best: parts of ten seasons, a 1996 championship with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, and Playoff MVP honors that same spring.

Life after basketball turned hard. He is the father of six children.

HOW HE CAME & WENTThe shooter signed a 10-day contract on April 4, 1993, at the very end of the season. It was the whole of his time in Utah.
