Ep. 90 - Jon Absey speaks about the break-up between him and the Utah Jazz - Part 2 of 2
In this episode, we continue our interview with Jon Absey, the original Jazz Bear. This is definitely one of the funnest episodes we've ever done, so don't miss it!\nWe dive into some interesting topics. We ask Jon about what happened in 2018 when the Jazz started the season without him as the bear. Jon shares some insights about changes in management and the impact of Larry Miller's death on the organization.\nJon also talks about his creative direction and how he beat to his own drum, which ultimately led to some disagreements with management. But, the real shocker is when he shares the results of a survey that showed the Jazz Bear had a 96% approval rating, coming only in 3rd to Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.\nIt's a really fascinating episode, and Jon's stories about Larry and his experiences as the Jazz Bear are truly inspiring. So, if you're a fan of the Utah Jazz, or just a great story, be sure to tune in to this episode of Jazz Beats!\nThis concludes the interview with Jon Absey.\nFollow us on Twitter here\nFollow us on Instagram here\nFollow us on Facebook here\nWatch us on YouTube here\nLearn more about your ad choices.
