Don't "think," don't flirt, but for heavens sake, MAKE A
BASKET!

Well, I don't think I'll be naming my kids after him, but I am glad he
is on the Jazz...and so are my wife and 14 year old daughter. He seems like he
has his head on strait, and is humble and sincere, unlike most of the players
that hit the hardwood in the NBA, ie. Kobe. He's a great fit for the Jazz
and coach Sloan's system. I look forward to many years, watching him drain
the 3's and playing tenacious D.
Just great | 3:31 a.m. May 2, 2008
Look. I think it's awesome Korver's good looking and a good guy and a
humble and what not.
But he had better hit a bunch of 3-pointers tonight if I personally am going to like him.
C'mon, Kyle, it's time a hot streak.

Hang in there, Kyle. I know exactly what you're going through.
What I think | 5:46 a.m. May 2, 2008
I watch the Jazz from time to time with my husband and the question posted in
this article has some sense to it because I jab my husband and I comment to him
about Korver being a nice looking young man. He's also an awesome player. A
definate plus for the team!
russ | 6:07 a.m. May 2, 2008
Where did he go to college?

Kyle I am tired of hearing about you from my mother and girlfriend! Good luck
man!

Hmmm. Isn't Ashton Kutcher from Iowa, too? Coincidence? we think not!
School Russ | 8:05 a.m. May 2, 2008
He went to Creighton. His little brother played at Drake last year.
Read the story, Russ | 8:19 a.m. May 2, 2008
He went to Creighton.
Korver's appeal to certain demographics, including old ladies, is also what is keeping David Archeleta on American Idol.
Go Klyle, Go Jazz!!!!!

Sorry to have missed the Creighton part. Not enough coffee yet.
I pull for the Jazz!!

We don't care | 8:53 a.m. May 2, 2008
All Jazz fans care about is his ability to hit 3 pointers - and he has missed
his last 7
Go Jazz

Me | 8:53 a.m. May 2, 2008
We like him because he has the kind of image we would like to see in more
professional ball players. Clean cut, has values and a desire to share his
wealth with those less fortunate. He's like watching what we all dreamed
would be role models our kids would look up too. Unlike so many obnixious punks
out there, I believe he truly loves the game and would rather avoid the
attention. Thats a true role model..

At least quote the sign correctly. Two Older women with a sign "Why go for
two when you can go for three" The actual sign was "Why go for three
when you can go for two" The actual sign is funny your qoute makes no
sense.
Who cares! | 9:06 a.m. May 2, 2008
Who cares what he looks like. Just hit your shots dude!
Amen to Me | 9:47 a.m. May 2, 2008
Thanks, he is what Stockton and Hornacez were when the Jazz had some family
value players. Glad to see one back without tattoos all over and a bad attitude.
Get focused it's the playoffs | 9:54 a.m. May 2, 2008
You need to focus on playing well and winning.I personally think we would have
been better sticking with C.J. Miles, especially with the way you've been
playing in the playoffs. Lets see you hit some shots man!!Go Korver go!!!!
HSM | 10:22 a.m. May 2, 2008
Everytime I see Kyle I can't help but wait for him to break out in song and
dance and sing a HSM song.
Get your head in the game!
Kyle, bring home a chanpionship like Troy did.

Amen to the comment early....Korver could look like the dude on goonies and I
would worship the ground he walked on if he just started finally hitting some
threes.
zacharley | 10:29 a.m. May 2, 2008
GO JAZZ!!!! If you think they all love you now, think what it be like when you
win tonight!!!!
Replacement | 10:29 a.m. May 2, 2008
I think a lot of his popularity, at least initially, wasn't just because of
who he is, but for who he isn't. He is not Gorden Giricek. Jazz fans were
just happy that Gircek was gone and someone new was here to take his place.
California | 10:35 a.m. May 2, 2008
Hey Kyle,
Keep your brains, wits, values, and game abilities
intact. Learn more, adjust well to Utah Jazz, and play great games!!!

I've heard Karl Malone was known to refuse to sign autographs from time to
time. And Stockton didn't seem the most fan-friendly, in that it seemed
like he just wanted to be left alone.
proselyte | 10:59 a.m. May 2, 2008
Wow. I never watch the Jazz, but after reading this article, I think I'll
tune in and watch the handsome tall guy, hoping he'll get lots of play
time.
I think I'll also buy some jerseys and a pair of Jazz tickets. While at the game, I will purchase two refreshing beverages and over-cooked hot dogs.
All those other reporters who asked the embarrassing questions were low-brow, shame on them, but this DN reporter really took the high road and avoided all that nonsense.

JazzMan | 11:00 a.m. May 2, 2008
I still cannot believe we picked up Kyle for Giricek. The first time i saw it,
I though it was a joke. What were they thinking? The funny thing is that now
Phili is admittingly looking for a shooter....oops!
Korver's free throw shooting | 11:48 a.m. May 2, 2008
What I love about this guy is when it's a close game down the stretch and
the other team is going to foul, who gets the ball? Korver. I don't think
I've seen him miss one free throw all year.
His 3 point shooting is streaky, he shoots too many contested 3's, but you gotta love a guy that can knock down a free throw down the stretch.

Least of my Brethren | 12:12 p.m. May 2, 2008
With what you can learn about his example of living one's faith, and how
much of that comes from his parents' example, you begin to understand that
it really doesn't matter how many 3's he drains, it matters how many
lives he inspires and touches. It has become known indirectly that those he
gives a large portion of his wealth are instructed to not say anything about it
publicly. "Let not the Right hand know what the Left is doing"...
that sort of thing. I only hope I can be equally inspired to live my faith in
actions, not words. :-)
wow | 12:34 p.m. May 2, 2008
wow cant believe male jazz fans commented on this article.
I agree with the freethrow comme | 1:14 p.m. May 2, 2008
I agree with the freethrow comment. I don't care if he can make 3's,
if he can make his freethrows, I'm a fan. I wish all Jazz players were as
solid at the freethrow line as Kyle. It would make EVERYTHING much easier.
Bill | 1:47 p.m. May 2, 2008
Kyle's a good guy. He could teach John Stockton a thing or two about not
being a jerk to people. Thanks for the memories John. On the court you were
great to watch. Off the court you were an a-hole.
Dig | 1:51 p.m. May 2, 2008
I totally Dig Kyle Korver and I'm a dude.
He's sooooo dreamy!
He's sooooo dreamy!
NO GAME | 2:29 p.m. May 2, 2008
He has no game but at least some stupid ladies will keep him going. Korver just
hit some shots, your femanine side means nothing on the scoreboard.
Re: HSM | 2:32 p.m. May 2, 2008
That is the funniest thing I have heard all week.
Old Port | 2:33 p.m. May 2, 2008
Please stop with all this...you are making him soft; he needs to be FIERCE!
jtm | 2:39 p.m. May 2, 2008
Just win baby!
Bob | 2:48 p.m. May 2, 2008
Doug,
You certainly went to great lengths to describe the cut of his hair. It seemed to (dare I say) inspire the writer in you. I personally think he looks more like Hillary Swank on steroids than Ashton Kutcher.

Babe!! | 5:02 p.m. May 2, 2008
I'm a dude. Korver is a male Babe!!! If I had hair like that I
wouldn't live in Utah County.
I hope this article doesn't ruin his game tonight because he's thinking about his sexy hair!
GO JAZZ!!!!

He's white | 1:40 a.m. May 3, 2008
Admit it. That's the real reason you all love him.
10 points per game backup and he sells more jerseys than anyone. Go figure.

Korver,..i know from a teenage girl this may seem like another annoying fan
mail. But korver you are an amazing person and the inspiration for your
charities and your humility is a strong fulfilling characteristic. Korver (i
will admit it) you have the most amazing hair and yes you are my dream guy.
Soooooooo stay as you are,...and go as far as i know and believe you will. I
hope this is an okay peice of mail even though i know you probably wont read
this. thank you for your inspiration Korver,...and for koming to the most
amazazazazing team in the NBA franchise. THE UTAH JAZZ!!!
GO JAZZ!! GO ALL THE WAY LIKE I BELIEVE YOU WILL!!!

Emma Royd | 8:42 a.m. May 4, 2008
He's the hottest guy in the NBA right now. I'm just glad we've
got him in Utah!
PhillyGuy | 11:28 a.m. May 4, 2008
He was never the second most popular sixer. He was seen as a weird looking
Ashton Kutcher for a couple of months here but the teeny-bopper love never
really took off here like it did in caucasion Utah. In Philly we don't go
crazy for a bench player who can't play defense.
Anonymous | 9:44 p.m. May 5, 2008
How do you contact Kyle Korver?
Janet Krisp | 12:59 p.m. June 16, 2008
o.k. i have seen so many girls fall for him. and i'll admit i am not
totally innocent but i cant get over one thing. Why does everybody say he looks
like ashton! i dont see it! it is crazy and an insult (kinda) he is awesome and
i feel bad for all the trouble he has with all this "heartthob stuff"

Kyle was raised with high morals and a love for God. He is the billboard we
want our children to live by.
