My best wishes and prayers for Larry Miller to get better.

We send our best wishes and add our prayers to many others. Larry Miller must
take care of himself so he can direct his family and continue to do all the
wonderful things he has the ability to do. Enjoy some time off...get well and
have faith in those you have trained so well.

I'd really feel bad for you if I didn't see you pigging out at the
Seigfrieds Delicatessen a while back. You have an obligation to the health of
your self that should at least mirror the way you look after the health of your
franchise. OOPS! I guess just doing the same thing for 2 decades is the way you
look after your health and the Jazz.

I echo the previous sentiments and prayers for LHM. Thanks Larry, for bringing
the Jazz to Utah way back when, and for keeping them here and having a
"let's win now" attitude most of the time (looking back, it seems
that way). He's not been stingy, and along with Jazz management and
coaches, they have built one of the league's most reliable teams (over
Sloan's 20-year tenure, winning an average of 3 games for every 2 lost... a
legacy many teams have not come anywhere near). We true fans have not given up
on a ring, and neither have LHM, KOC, Rigby, Sloan, etc. Get Deron signed, which
will make Boozer more likely to re-up after next season, and this off-season or
next hopefully find that one missing free-agent to enable us to contend with ANY
team... soon. Please, Miller family, if you decide to sell the Jazz in the
future, stipulate that it must remain in Utah... it's mutually good.

I think Larry is a patriot and a statesman. This man single-handedly saved
Utah, so it wouldn't turn into the cess-pool that is Las Vegas...
I am glad that I bought a Honda from this man. I think the Jazz will win the Championship in two years (without Boozer), and that it will be hilarious to laugh at Laker Fans at that time...

Larry Miller has been one of the best owners in NBA history. I don't think
there's been a more supportive owner in all of basketball for as long as
the Jazz have been prominent. Think about it, without Larry there would be no
Sloan, Karl and John might not have stayed and Deron might be moving on due to
the coming expense.
Larry is a Godsend and I mean that, I hope he stays healthy and involved for at least another decade.
If he has been unhealthy, I'm sure that will change. There is no reason, or stock, in castigating the sick or dying, so please do not do it, it reflects badly on you more than your victim.

Thank you, Larry Miller, for keeping the Jazz in Utah for the last 25 years.
Your courage in purchasing a struggling NBA franchise -- and keeping it from
moving to Minnesota -- will always be remembered. God bless.

LHM has contributed much to the community and the state of Utah at large.
It's likely we'll never know the full extent of it all but would
certainly feel the void if it all went away. LHM has been a great example of
how to balance self interest (business) and the good of the community. This
country could certainly use more like him.
Get better soon, Larry! Go Jazz!!!
Moronic buffoons like "Hate it For you LHM | 11:49 p.m" embarrass themselves. It's the same kind of mentality as those who write 'wisdom' on the wall in the men's room.

You have to admire what LHM has done over all of these years for the folks in
Utah, AZ, OR, ID.... Even being a fan of another team, you can admire this great
man, and what he has done to keep the club in Utah.

Greg Miller's first act should be to bulldoze the Mayan restaurant. What a
catastrophe that restaurant is.

Great American, he's an example of how to pull yourself up by the boot
straps and make things happen. A poster boy for the free enterprise system.
Get well, our prayers are with you.
Gus | 11:51 a.m. July 17, 2008
I agree completely with James on the Mayan. But I like Miller for the most part.

Sadly ones life can change dramatically in an eyelash. LM seemed to be fine
during the playoffs but after 5 weeks in a hospital with no mention of a future
release, I suspect his condition is precarious. I have been in medicine for 25
years and no illness is as unpredictable or as insidious as Type 1, adult onset
diabetes. It can take a limb, cause blindness, and every other type of
circulatory disorder, (heart infarction, stroke, embolism , etc.) I hope
I'm very wrong or that LM has an exceptional recovery. From experience, I
would guess that a person with a similar history might next appear publicly to
be a much different physical personage than the person was before a flare-up.

Geez, I'm not surprised at all he is hospitalized. It's a rough time
to be alive right now, it's the Jazz off season. I go through the day
trying to find a reason to wake up the next morning, just praying that opening
tip-off will come sooner than it seems.
Laker Fans | 5:34 p.m. July 17, 2008
Larry Miller is a competitor and a class act. We pray for him and his rapid
recovery.
Sharron | 11:31 p.m. July 26, 2008
Larry, take care of yourself. Pressure, diabetes,
stress, too many goodies can kill a person. I know, I buried my husband this year with adult onset diabetes which led to heart and stroke problems. Follow the doctors orders and have your wife or someone control and make sure you take your meds and eat correctly! Best wishes to you and thanks for all you have done for Utah and especially to help Ogden get on it's feet! THANKS!
