Audio courtesy of KALL
Highlights:
--He really appreciates the Jazz franchise and Jerry in particular for giving him the opportunity to turn into the player that he is now
--He really enjoys doing the things that Jerry calls for on defense
--He's healthy; no problems with his wrist
--Turned down offer from Miami and had been scheduled to meet with LA, San Antonio, and Chicago
--No better fans out there than Jazz fans and he's really excited to come back
--Wants to win but also wanted to go to a team where he could make a real contribution
--Picking up Al Jefferson was huge; he really likes Gordon Hayward
--Is on first-name basis with Jerry
--Will come to Utah for physical on Monday
--Is old school and doesn't do any tweeting or Facebooking; he's only coming to play
Have I told you how excited I am?? ;)

Raja just sounds like he has high basketball IQ
No doubt he’ll be a great contributor if he stays healthy.
I can’t get enough of the headlines like “Bell rejects Lakers, signs with Jazz”

Wow.....
Raja is like overflowing with confidence. He knows he can contribute. He doesn’t just wanna ride the pine on a championship team even if that means not getting a ring. He wants to ball.
What more can you want from a guy? Freakin love this dude. My man crush is gushing.
Bell you the man! If you tweeted or facebooked I’d be all over that!
For the Love of the Game
Stockton to Malone- The perfect combination!!
"I think he just said, 'Oh my Gosh,' or whatever they say in Provo."- ESPN talking about QB. Max Hall after BYU defeated third ranked Oklahoma (2009).
MonSTARZ forever!
What a stud
As much as I’m disappointed to see Wes leave, I don’t think we could have found a better fit for this team! Then again, I guess we still have to play the season, right?
Basketball doesn't build character. It reveals it.

I don't think
I have ever heard a player talk about Coach and confidently refer to him as “Jerry”.
"He is STUPID but he knows that he is STUPID and that almost makes him smart."
not even stockton or malone
i don’t think call him “jerry” even now.
why do i love it so much that raja does so?
