Bronny James, listed height of 6'4" on every roster he's ever played on, measured just a half inch over 6'1" at the NBA Scouting Combine.
6'1" guys who averaged 5 points a game in college usually don't get drafted. I sure do wonnnnder what's different in Bronny's case...

As the egg heats, small calcium deposits actually detach from the shell bond with the sugars from butter and caramel. This process creates kinetic energy, which burns away trans fats, leaving you with a healthier and delicious final product!
The above tweet is complete made up.
Remember when Hayward bolted, everybody and their dog thought the Jazz were destined for the lottery.
A rookie named Donovan Mitchell not only carried that team into the playoffs but a PHENOEMENAL playoff series win!
I'll never forget that, nor ever stop being a Spida fan
Look, I’m really not offended by “f**k the mormons” chant. Overall I think it’s sophomoric and not worth my time.
But it does illustrate a double standard. If BYU was an Islamic institution and the chant was “f**k the muslims” there would be MASSIVE fallout.
Just seems weird.
If The Knicks had not decided to pay RJ Barrett $120 million dollars, Lauri Markkanen would not be currently playing for the Utah Jazz.
Thank you, Knicks
Why is this not being talked about BYU twitter?
Tyler Allgeier is
#1
NATIONALLY in yards per carry among RBs with 50+ carries
#2
is just a guy named Travis Etienne and
#3
is only Najee Harris.
Tyler Allgeier should be a Doak Walker candidate right now!
Just thinking about that time BYU had Taysom Hill, Jamaal Williams, Fred Warner, Harvey Langi, Francis Bernard, Michael Davis, and Kai Nacua
… And went 9-4.
Someday, I'll take me kid to their first Utah Jazz game. I'll point up to the rafters and I'll get to
#27
and say "that was the greatest defensive player to ever set foot on this court, and I got to witness every minute of it in person"
Salute, Rudy. Go kill it in Minnesota!
Tyler Allgeier is one of the most productive college RBs ever. This year, he has scored 102 points on 203 carries
That means EVERY TIME Tyler is handed the ball, it is worth over half a point 👀!
In perspective:
2005 Reggie Bush: 0.480 points per carry
2015 Derrick Henry: 0.425
Public service announcement:
Tyler Allgeier is
1st in the country in rushing TDs
3rd in the country in rushing yards
If this man is not at least in the room when they announce the Doak Walker award winner, it would be a complete and utter travesty
“Salt Lake City” is not the market. SLC-Provo-Ogden is all a single market.
2.65 million people in the SLC-Ogden-Provo area.
Currently more than:
- Milwaukee
- Cincinnati
- Pittsburgh
- Cleveland
- Kansas City
Give us an MLB team AND a NHL team, NOW. We’re big enough.
I can say, TODAY, while he's only TWENTY-SEVEN years old, that Rudy Gobert wil be the last Jazz to ever wear the
#27
jersey
He is THAT dominant
I look forward to one day taking my kids to the arena, pointing up to the rafters at
#27
, and saying "I watched him play in person!"
In 1983, BYU lost to Baylor in Waco.
In 1984, BYU's home opener was against Baylor. BYU won the national championship.
In 2021, BYU lost to Baylor in Waco.
In 2022, BYU's home opener was against Baylor...
I mean, I'm just saying...
Welp, this turned out pretty crazy...
After weeks of doctor visits and tests, we found that I have multiple pre-cancerous tumors in my leg 😬
I'm going to Huntsman Cancer Institute this week for surgical removal
If you are a praying type, please throw up a good word for me 🙏
Any internet doctors out there? A couple weeks ago my knee started hurting. Like pain soreness after physical exertion, but I hadn’t done anything.
The pain was intermittent for days. Now it hurts all the time. Often badly. Occasionally in shin and hip as well…
Any ideas?

Shapur II of Persia. Said to be the only King ever crowned before birth. The story goes that the crown was placed on his mother's belly
Regardless of who the leaks came from, Dianna Russini ran a story that she very well knew could severely impact the reputation and career of Zach Wilson, and didn’t even bother to get any comment from Zach Wilson.
No matter how you slice it, that’s just bad journalism.
Dianna Russini says that Aaron Rodgers is upset that leaks are coming out of the building on the Zach Wilson reports that he is “reluctant” to starting again due to injury risk. Despite backlash and comments from Robert Saleh and Rodgers, Dianna remains consistent with her claims
How to sum up the current difference between UofU and BYU football programs?
The Utes have signed guys named Money Parks and Caine Savage
BYU just signed two dudes named Josh
Zach Wilson looks like he could be in an 90s Disney channel movie as the mean kid that our plucky young hero has to beat in a surfing competition in order win the money to save their beloved local pizzeria from falling into the hands of crooked real estate developers.
Ok, I think I'm on board with Utah Outlaws but instead of a Yeti logo, it MUST be a hockey mask
I mean: Outlaws: a lot of Utah history... Outlaws wear masks... hockey players used to wear masks...
It all just fits so perfectly
The Utah Outlaws
It’s a cool name
Utah has a history with outlaws such as Butch Cassidy and his gang
The Yeti could still be used because why not? Let’s have some fun here
The walkout song could be the main theme from The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
This could be fun
Picture from 1986. Adjusted for inflation, that'd be about $13.50 for a full weekday skiing in 2022.
Today, a half day pass at Solitude is $120. HALF DAY.
Backwards inflation adjustment, that would've cost almost $45 in 1986. That's 9x the price, for literally half the skiing.
I know to most of you I’m just a random name and face in a silly app on your phone screen, but if you’re the praying type, please say a word for me.
Wife is in hospital, doctors currently trying to decide if surgery is needed. Just found out, on my way now. Scared.
@JordanCanes
GSW would be foolish to hold up this deal for Kuminga. They’re going to have years of pain as soon as Curry is done, regardless of whether or not Kuminga is on the roster. Might as well go all in for 1 or 2 more chips, before the inevitable fall
Just have to say:
Annie Agar is the
#1
sports humorist in the world right now, no cap. Just a brilliant writer, amazing performer!
Zach Wilson: I’m going to make his life hell every day in practice
How, by making him watch you throw a screen pass?
😂😂💀💀😂😂
When it’s all said and done, Tyler Allgeier will have earned his place in the all-time BYU RB club, in the same class as the likes of Luke Staley, Jamal Willis, Curtis Brown, and Jamaal Williams
BYU fans should appreciate every moment they have with this true all-timer!
To this day, I still don’t understand how a dude with this much god given talent couldn’t stick in the NBA.
Yada yada yada defense yada yada yada athleticism. I get it… I’m just speaking suppositionally. Cause my word, can this dude ball
Karl Malone's Utah Jazz playoff single game scoring record stood untouched and really unthreatened for over 20 years...
In a little less than a week, that record is now in 3rd place.
There are about four NBA players whom I’d REALLY struggle cheering for if they ever ended up with the Jazz
1 Dillon Brooks
2 James Harden
3 Dillon Brooks
4 Dillon Brooks but in Spanish
Mitchell ABSOLUTELY did his homework on Dillon Brooks. Knew how to get Brooks to foul, every time
Games are won or lost in the film room.
You gotta love it!
Let me be clear: I REALLY DO like Gobert.
But I take umbrage to this narrative that he’s the ride-or-die loyal, and Donovan Mitchell is not. Mitchell actually appears at Utah high schools, collegiate sporting events, and back yard BBQs. How does that equate to less loyalty?
The Jazz finding Walker Kessler as a random trade filler is the basketball equivalent of those people on antique roadshow who find a random candlestick at a garage sale that turns out to be worth $20k
A look back on the pre-season AP top 25 biggest blunders:
6-6 North Carolina
#10
6-6 Florida
#13
4-7 USC
#15
6-6 LSU
#16
2-10 Indiana
#17
(😬😳)
4-8 Washington
#20
5-7 Texas
#21
Pre-season polls are just an echo chamber of preconceived notions and unfounded biases
I don't understand the Donovan Mitchell fans vs Devin Booker fans feud. They're really not very comparable players
I mean, one wins playoff games and the other doesn't win games period.
Why all the salt?...
In 1983, BYU finished 11-1.
They then lost their superstar, heisman-caliber QB, and a bevy of other players, to the pro ranks.
At the start of the following year, national pundits didn't expect much from the Cougars, but internally there was high optimism...
1984, meet 2021
Oh, you know, just a sold-out arena, not even standing room, just for an introductory press conference for a team with no name
But please, Bomani, tell us again how there are not enough people in Utah for two winter sports
Utah doesn't give a f ck about you either, by the way
I don’t think most Jazz fans have adequately prepared themselves for the very real possibly that the Jazz could literally have the worst record in the NBA and still miss out on Wemby and Scoot
The Jazz bench reaction to free chicken is just one of those little things that, as a fan, makes you love this team all the more. It’s the kind of thing that was just missing last year
When I first found out an All-Star Game was coming to Salt Lake City, I assumed the Jazz would get two players in the game.
I just didn't understand who those two would be
If I came back in a time machine to the beginning of the year and told you BYU would be 5-2 at this point, you wouldn’t care how “ugly” any of those wins are. You’d take it, without a question
Shaq on Donovan Mitchell: "he needs to be a 2nd or 3rd option" (on a championship team).
What an idiot. How can anybody have that many years in the game and still have such a low basketball IQ.
Absolutely silly.
Unpopular opinion:
I’ll never understand why people hate on Subway. It’s a decent sandwich at a decent price. What are people expecting? Ruth’s Chris for $7 bucks?!
I’ve honestly have never had a “bad” experience at Subway and always get exactly what I paid for. Not bad at all.
Dear everybody wearing a Curry jersey to Vivint Arena tonight,
If you weren’t a Warriors fan back when it looked like this, than you’re not a Warriors fan.
Hope you all drive home safe
Donovan Mitchell, as a rookie, in a series against a then superstar at the height of his powers, in a matchup most people projected the Jazz to lose in 5 or 6, was the BEST player on the floor every damn night.
And some Jazz fans want to unceremoniously trade this man.
Sickening.
Jazz fans posting Donovan Mitchell hate takes will never not be weird to me.
If you all the good he did for this franchise on the right side of a scale, and all the bad on the left, the scale falls hard right, easy.
But some people only focus on the bad. Pretty sad.
@undisputed
@RealSkipBayless
@RealSkipBayless
except in that same time frame he also had 4 assists
Accounting for 13 points, including the 3 he scored.
But.. don't let a little annoying nuisance like facts distract you from your narrative
There was a time before last year in which the idea was floated around of trading Lauri Markkanen straight up for John Collins.
Hawks fans said it wasn’t nearly enough for Collins…
So instead the Jazz gave them Rudy Gay
HaHa!
Ha! HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!
Ha!!!!
Holly Rowe possibly has the highest basketball IQ of any commentator I’ve listened to, and that includes a lot former players and coaches. She’s so impressive
No disrespect to the fine city of Albuquerque, but if there can be a college football bowl game in a relatively small cold-weather town like Albuquerque, why in the world is there no bowl game anywhere in Utah?
The amount of car washes being built in Utah county is silly.
It’s like one person started blabbering about how profitable they can be and every moderately rich, uncreative, 49 year old in Alpine with their company name on a Silicon Slopes building said “don’t mind if I do!”
Walker Kessler is going to be a cornerstone of this franchise for several years
I’m honestly awestruck that the Jazz snagged him as almost an afterthought in that trade. His potential is just incredible!
@joewheat27
I get why it’s a sore topic. For ten years, Pac-12 membership has been the catalyst for the idea that Utah has separated from BYU.
For BYU to: A- beat Utah, B- go 5-0, and C- be Big XII bound, it shatters a carefully built and guarded narrative. The jokes remind them of that
After listening to Bill Riley say for the last decade that “I think it’d be best for BYU go back to the MWC”, and straight up lie to his listeners that such a suggestion was NOT nefarious against BYU, this whole conference uncertainty is just a fair turning of the tide
Remember when Bronco Mendenhall fired his defensive coordinator mid season? Tough call, but the defense was utterly awful, something had to change.
Sitake would never.
Keyonte George will break Utah’s triple double drought sometime within his rookie season and when he does, everybody who likes this tweet will receive a free deluxe hug which is like a regular hug but more deluxe
A healthy Lauri Markkanen really is the difference between this Jazz team being a top five team in the west and being in the lottery. NEVER would’ve expected that to be the case at the beginning of the year
@TheJordanRachel
I mean, I get that... but it'd be like asking "if the chocolate is good, why do Reese's need peanut butter? If the peanut butter is good, why do Reese's need chocolate?"
Just because something is good, or something works, doesn't mean you can't combine another good/working thing
The fact that Skip Bayless has a prominent job in sports media is proof that the key to success in the industry is not being good at forming takes that turn out accurate in the long run, but takes that are formulated just so as to generate views in the short run.
Kinda sad
