Lou Amundson

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 Lou Amundson: 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.

Ten-day contracts were Amundson's doorway: after winning D-League Rookie of the Year with the Colorado 14ers, he signed two of them with the Jazz in February 2007 — his first NBA employment. The undrafted UNLV forward stretched that toehold into ten NBA seasons, becoming just the twelfth player ever to appear for at least ten franchises.

Swedish blood runs on his father's side — he lived in Stockholm for a time and hoped to play for Sweden's national team, but the immigration ministry rejected his citizenship application. His final stops were in the Philippines and with Japan's Kawasaki Brave Thunders in 2017–18.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah signed him to a 10-day contract on February 5, 2007 — the ninth Gatorade call-up from the D-League that season — and to a second on February 19. Utah waived him on February 27, 2007, before the second ten days had run out.
