Looking forany autographMatt Thomas
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 Matt Thomas: 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.
A two-time all-state pick who scored more than 2,000 points at Onalaska High in Wisconsin, Thomas starred at Iowa State, then earned the nickname Mr. 99% in Spain for his unguarded catch-and-shoot precision with Valencia. He now plays for Besiktas in Turkey's top league.
HOW HE CAME & WENTToronto traded him to Utah for a future second-round pick on March 25, 2021, and the Jazz waived him that August.
