Kenny Natt

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 Kenny Natt: 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.

Monroe, Louisiana produced two NBA brothers: All-Star Calvin and younger brother Kenny, a 6-foot-3 guard from Northeast Louisiana taken 30th overall by Indiana in 1980. His three playing seasons included a Jazz stint, and he made the All-CBA First Team in 1982.

Coaching became the longer career. Natt scouted for the Utah Jazz, spent 1996 to 2004 on Jerry Sloan's bench, joined Cleveland's staff, and in 2008-09 served as interim head coach of the Sacramento Kings. He later coached India's national team and became director of basketball at IMG Academy, with a 2003 induction into the Louisiana-Monroe Hall of Fame along the way.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah signed him in February 1983 and gave him a four-year deal that summer — then waived him three times over the next two years, twice bringing him back, the last waiver coming in October 1985.
