With the season just around the corner, the hype videos will be coming and I am here for them. But we may have already gotten the best hype video yet. This Joe Ingles mixtape is as good as they get.

My favorite line of the whole thing is probably the “Thinnin Hair Thrilla.”
This artwork by Char calling Joe the “Dad Bod God” commemorating the rap is exquisite.
I've also made this fun header to accompany this beautiful rap pic.twitter.com/bCBLYdhqUy

On NBA Reddit there was a very interesting Twitter Sentiment Analysis of each fan base. It looks like the majority of Jazz fans are “positive” while also feeling “trust” and “anticipation” for their team.

It’s hard to disagree. Dennis Lindsey and his team have done nothing but build trust with Jazz fans by creating a top notch organization from top to bottom. And as far as anticipation goes, who isn’t dying to see what happens with this Jazz team next year? I personally can’t wait!
Beyond these descriptors, what words would you use to describe the Utah Jazz fan base?

Conrad Burry released some ideas for Christmas jerseys this year and they’re great!
Here's the other 2 match-ups of my take on 2018 NBA "Christmas Edition" uniform concepts. I've done 4 other match-ups with 8 other teams, but I'll wait til tomorrow to post those. Don't want to inundate you all...thanks for checking these all out! [2/2] pic.twitter.com/2y3ohLPa6i

I’m a fan of both sweaters and Christmas making it easy to love these. I’m also always excited at any chance to see the Jazz wear purple.
No matter what the Jazz end up wearing on Christmas, they’re going to look good doing it.

Apparently the Philadelphia 76ers did not hire Justin Zanik but chose Elton Brand as their new GM.
Elton Brand was playing in the @NBA just two years ago.

Now, he's the @sixers GM, per @wojespn.https://t.co/KnDIr14CLt
Zanik is a high quality GM who does great work for the team. As frustrated as Zanik no doubt feels, Jazz fans are lucky to still have him with a big free agency coming up next year.
His knowledge of contracts and player relations will be invaluable.
good news for Jazz fans, as Justin Zanik stays with the franchise https://t.co/NBelFz7OHY

Ekpe Udoh has clarified ONCE AND FOR ALL the pronunciation of his name. He also let us know his full name and it’s amazing.
My name is Ekpedeme Friday Udoh
— Ekpe Udoh (@EkpeUdoh) September 18, 2018
It was shortened to Ekpe for people...
It is pronounced "EPPAY"!!!
Thank you for your time and don't be mad wen I'm wit it when spelled wrong or mispronounced.
✌
I can’t think of a better middle name than “Friday.” Nothing is better than waking up and realizing it’s almost the weekend. What better way to commemorate that amazing feeling than by naming your child after this joyous day?! Ekpe’s parents deserve a lot of credit for that choice, and also raising a great son too!
