Looking forany autographTom Boswell
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 Tom Boswell: 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 6-foot-9 forward from the University of South Carolina, Boswell broke in with the 1975-76 Boston Celtics and earned a championship ring as a rookie. He played six NBA seasons in all for the Celtics, Nuggets, and Jazz, averaging 7.7 points per game, with Jazz stints in 1979-80 and 1983-84.
International honors came first: Boswell played for the United States at the 1974 FIBA World Championship and brought home a bronze medal.
HOW HE CAME & WENTDenver traded him to Utah for a second-round pick on November 20, 1979 and the Jazz waived him in October 1980. He won an Italian title with Cantu, played a CBA season, then came back to Utah for 1983-84, his last NBA year.
