"Greg is a great owner. I've been around a couple of good owners in my time, and he's one of the best," the nine-year veteran said. "For him to even get out there and take the time out to thank the fans speaks a lot about him and his character."
AGE DISPARITY: The NBA's youngest and oldest players were on the court at the same time Monday.
Utah's 19-year-old rookie, Enes Kanter (born May 20, 1992), even ripped the ball out of the aging hands of Portland's 39-year-old NBA senior citizen, Kurt Thomas (born Oct. 4, 1972).
"I got a rebound on him, too," Kanter said. "It was really fun."
The Turkish teen smiled when asked about playing against somebody twice his age and responded, "It feels so weird."
