Plus you can't forget the Farm boy vignettes.

Seriously. What a good human being. Just a really great person. Best of luck, Kyle. If we lose to Chicago, I hope it's because you bury a three at the buzzer.

Kyle needs to give lessons to the rest of the NBA on "classy." Losing Kyle may not have a huge effect on the Jazz, but its definitely a loss for the community. I wish him nothing but the best. If anyone in the league deserves to be overpaid, Kyle Korver is that man.

Great guy, sad to see him go but I guess there were no other options. Wish him the best of luck with the Bulls.

The real question is; who is the next dodgeball man for those awesome commercials?

This kinda makes me wish we could have matched. What an absolute class act. I hope he breaks his own record next season! You're always welcome in Utah brother.

Kyle has routinely been named by people around the Jazz like Siler and DWills BFF Matt Mitnick as the best "person" in the NBA. The work he has been doing all summer in the valley has been extremely commendable.

Not to mention the dude just set the record for best 3PT% in NBA regular season history. That is a pretty big freakin deal if you ask me. 3 Year, 15 Mill was really not that bad. Not to mention he probably brings so much revenue into the team with all of the Korver-related paraphernalia that gets sold. I really thought the Jazz should have brought him back.

As a Bulls & Korver fan since the 76ers days, I'm glad to see that Jazz fans still support this guy after signing with another team.

Lots of respect for all of you Jazz fan from this Bulls fan and good luck in the next season!

When you see a guy like Korver you have to ask yourself "why on earth it's so difficult for people to be classy and act the right way, when it's so darn simple?" Because it's not what he said in the letter, it's just the fact that he felt compelled to write it.
I was about to wish Korver good luck, but then I realized dudes like him don't need luck. He will be fine, and it's those around him the ones that will be lucky.

Thanks for posting this, reading it made my day better.

Yeah it was classy, sad to see him leave, though I did feel it was time to move on.

I will also miss Kyle the most, he was a true professional. i remember going to jazz games early and seeing him out there by himself practicing his shot well before the game. he was loved here for good reason, so long friend!

Definitely a loss for Utah. The kid gave it his all on a nightly bases and constantly came up big when the we need a big shot or just to seal the game. He's a professional who loves the whole State of Utah. He was as big a part of this team as anyone the past couple of years. I wish him the best on in whatever he does on the Chicago Jazz.

He picks up his pivot foot sometimes on his spin. Enough that the refs notice it and call him for traveling more than they should.

You're right! I can't believe he didn't put that in his letter to the fans...
