Patrick Christopher

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 Patrick Christopher: 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.

Berkeley remembers the scorer — two-time first-team All-Pac-10, with 1,700 points that rank third in California Golden Bears history. The NBA proved harder: undrafted in 2010, Christopher played in Turkey and France and toiled for the Iowa Energy before Utah signed him in December 2014. Four games and a knee injury later, his NBA chapter closed.

Compton shaped the second act. In 2019 he founded Sloan and Bennett, a luxury menswear brand named for the cross streets of his childhood home. The game stayed in the family — his brother Josh plays professionally, and former NBA forward Tayshaun Prince is his godbrother.

HOW HE CAME & WENTHe signed with Utah on December 10, 2014 — the only NBA team he ever played for — and was waived a month later after a knee injury.

Do you have anything signed by Patrick Christopher?
A card. A photo. A program. A page from an old autograph book. Anything he put his name on.

You do not need to know what it is. Take a photo with your phone and send it to me. I will tell you what you have, for free, whether or not anything comes of it. I pay the postage both ways. I answer every message myself, usually the same day.

One question so I know you are a person and not a machine. Any Jazz follower will know it.

One person reads this. I answer every message myself, usually the same day.
