Kyle Korver left Philadelphia not really knowing what to think. He was loved and embraced by the community, but was playing for a team that wasn’t playing very well. The Utah Jazz meanwhile were going through one of the worst months of basketball that they’ve had for a couple of decades. Gordan Giricek was butting heads with Jerry Sloan and Kevin O’Conner pulled off the most important trades this NBA season.
Forget all the talk about Pau Gasol going the Lakers, and Shaq going to go play for the Suns. The Jazz adding a shooter with a quick release, and a perimeter game that spreads both the offense and defense, have been unstoppable. The Jazz are 16-2 with the addition of Korver and are actually winning games on the road.
Come this post season, the West is where it’s at. So many powerhouses to choose and have a chance any given night to look like the best team in the NBA. Although Korver in reality is no Gasol or O’Neal, an addition like him to the Jazz have made them that much better than the addition of the other two for the Lakers and the Suns. Numbers don’t lie, streaks don’t lie, and Korver’s threes tell the truth that the Jazz are for real.

Korver's Impact Is & Will Be More Than Gasol's or Shaq's

plus hes hot and that what really matters
I went to the Jazz game last night, and the women just love him. He's the most popular player on the team, judging from the high-pitched screams every time he touches the ball.
But you're right, he's already changed the Jazz. He spreads the floor for the pick and roll and can help bust the zone.
