Utah Jazz

The Lappe family is a BIG Jazz family. I can remember our outings to Jazz games as I grew up. It was our family "thing," it was our bonding time. We went to so many games and I remember going to the Jazz vs. Bulls game during the finals... it was so so so fun! we made posters and hung a beanie baby bull on a rope, it was so much fun. I was an honorary Jazz dancer once (Karl Malone almost fell on me :) ) Erik was a ball boy once. Anywhoooo... we just loved the Jazz and everything fun about them. Jerry Sloan is the only coach i've known as a Jazz fan. It was a complete surprise when he announced that he was leaving, I mean we all knew it was coming someday soon but it was just so sudden. It made me quiet sad to see him go!! He is a part of the whole Jazz memory. Hopefully it will bring new opportunities for the Jazz.

Thanks Jerry Sloan for all you've done, it's been a great run.
