This story further enhances my admiration of D-Will. He is truly a class act and I am so proud to have him represent Utah and the Utah Jazz.

D-Will rocks!

You're the man D-Will! While us BYU fans and Utah fans are at each others throats all the time, whining back and forth about each others' games, it's refreshing to step back, talk about the Jazz, and watch Deron Williams represent that state with such class.
Go D-Will and Go Jazz!

Great guy

D-Will is one of those people with a good heart and I am very glad to see he has made Utah his home. All other members of the Jazz are working on their rap CD's, living in their summer homes in Miami, or touring the world. Great role model.

Thank you Deron! Thank you for being someone who kids can look up to! Thank you for being a TRUE Role model. I get so mad when I see these other athlets who think they are better then everyone and then they do really stupid and unresponsible things that kids then think is cool to do because they saw there favorite sports star do it. It is nice to have someone that is a truely good-hearted person, that kids can model themselves after! Keep up the good work!

Character

The true measure of a man's success is demonstrated by their character. D-Will has continually shown us how fortunate we are to have him on the Jazz. Not only can he ball, but he makes a difference in others lives because he wants to, not because he has to. Thanks D-Will!

Great to have someone like Deron with us here in Utah, reminds me of some of the things Karl Malone would do when he was here. Deron was great to my 9 year old at a golf course this past summer and he has fans for life from both my son and me. Not many people can just show up and make someone's day, and even fewer are willing to share their time.

Great

I'm continually impressed by Deron Williams and his efforts to be involved in the community... how come we don't see other Jazz players in stories like this?

David

I'm not really a Jazz fan, but I am a Williams fan. Now I am a fan of his off the court too. Great story!

D-Will

I LOVE YOU D-WILL! YOU'RE MY HERO!

Ryan

This guy gets it. D-WILL IS A TRUE MAN.

Jake

I am a Jazz fan that is continually impressed by Deron both on and off the court. I think everyone in Utah should be happy to have such a great player and great person on the Jazz roster.

Constantly impressed

This is guys is almost too good to be true. He's on the best point guards in the league by far, an MVP candidate, and Olympic Gold Medalist, and a terrific public figure. I'm thinking you can count the number of professional athletes as valuable as Deron on two hands.
Deron Williams is the best thing to come to Utah since the California Seagull.
Now lets pay him back! Vote him onto the all-star team, and get him the talent he needs around him to get a title.

Deron Williams continues to prove to the state of Utah how lucky we are to have him here. He has remained a human being to all of us and continues to prove it over and over by taking the time to give back with something more valuable to many than money. His time is something that will touch each person that shares it with him. He reminds me of another great basketball star from Utahs past.Keep up the good work, and i for one appreciate what you continue to do for all of us. You help keep the professional sports figure a human being.

I just continue to be impressed with D-Will's efforts to be part of the SLC community. I know Karl Malone did so much while he was here too. D-Will is an all-star on and off the court.

STEVE-O

Deron seams to be a great guy. And many of the Jazz players give back. The article last week said Ronnie Brewer gave $50,000 to Arkansas. Kyle Korver is well known around the league for his charity. Boozer is the only one who seems to lack in the Charitable/good guy department!

Deron williams is such a great person. He is always giving to others. DERON WILLIAMS is a star in my eyes not matter what others say

Number One Jazz Fan

D-Will is the class of Utah on and off the court!!! Bozzer can't do either???
I love the Jazz

Robyn

Inspiring role model for children and grandchildren to look up too. Thank your caring. Your amazing, keep up the great work. Glad Utah has the best NBA player(s) here to show the support to our community. By the way LOVE THE JAZZ too.

CDOGG

D-Will is the Man. I have met both him and Boozer personally and Deron is a classy individual while Boozer is like a cheap name brand knock off watch.
