Looking forany autographMo Howard
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 Mo Howard: 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.
Out of Maryland, Howard got one NBA season, 1976-77, and split it between two teams: nine games with the Cleveland Cavaliers, then 23 with the New Orleans Jazz. In his 32 games he averaged 4.8 points in just under eleven minutes a night.
Basketball stayed in the family. The Philadelphia native is the father of basketball coach Ashley Howard.
HOW HE CAME & WENTThe Jazz signed him in February 1977 and waived him that September.
