This is a cool gesture from the Utah Jazz organization, and a great reminder of the incredible coach and man that we were lucky enough to have lead the squad for 34 years. Hopefully the Jazz will be able to honor the patch as best as they can, by going out and battling in the bubble in Orlando and playing in a way that would make Jerry proud.
