Looking forhard-signed Jazz auto
Jordan Clarkson
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 Jordan Clarkson: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you have a better example of his signature, or a story about it, the note at the foot of this page still stands.
Raised in San Antonio by parents who both served in the Air Force, Clarkson played at Tulsa and Missouri before the Lakers landed him with the 46th pick in 2014 — a bargain, as he made the All-Rookie First Team. He joined the Jazz in 2019 and became the league's most dangerous bench scorer, winning the 2021 Sixth Man of the Year award during six seasons in Utah.
His Filipino roots run deep — his grandmother came from Bacolor, Pampanga — and Clarkson holds Filipino citizenship and has represented the Philippine national team, where his following is enormous. In 2026 he won an NBA championship with the New York Knicks.
HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah acquired him from Cleveland for Dante Exum and two second-rounders on December 24, 2019, and he became the first Sixth Man of the Year in franchise history. By 2025 the club wanted the minutes for young guards and would not risk its protected draft pick on veterans — no trade partner appeared, so on June 30 the two sides bought out the deal.
