Looking forany autographKyle Korver
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 Kyle Korver: 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.
The Nets sold his draft rights to Philadelphia for $125,000 in 2003 — money that reportedly covered a new copy machine — and the slight became his rallying cry. Traded to Utah in 2007, Korver shot .536 from three in 2009–10, still the NBA single-season accuracy record, and came back in 2018 for a second Jazz stint. He stands eighth all-time in three-pointers made and led the league in percentage four times.
A pastor's son who grew up on the Showtime Lakers, he was twice Valley Player of the Year at Creighton and returned in 2019 to deliver the commencement keynote. Today he is assistant general manager of the Atlanta Hawks.
HOW HE CAME & WENTPhiladelphia traded him to Utah on December 29, 2007 for Gordan Giricek and a first-round pick — the Jazz badly needed shooting. He signed with Chicago in 2010. Cleveland sent him back in November 2018 for Alec Burks, and he left in the 2019 Mike Conley trade.
