Bittersweet Time for the Utah Jazz


These last two weeks were both amazing and horrible for the Utah Jazz. While they made EXCELLENT victories against the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics (come on now...they both had do be taken off their pedestal of glory) they also had a great loss.

Larry H. Miller, the owner of the Jazz passed away on February 20th. After suffering from diabetes, a heart attack, learning of his other condition calciphylaxis which led him to have calcium deposits in his veins that led to tissue death. After all that, he had to get his legs amputated below the knee.

He has left a legacy in Utah, and no one will ever forget him. The Jazz and his many car dealerships really led many people to actually understand the phrase "Afterall, you know this guy!". We will miss you Miller, and if the Jazz know whats good for them, they will win the NBA championship for you.
