I’m not sure how I’m just barely discovering this, but Jazz owner Greg Miller uploaded this home video footage from the Jazz training room before Game 7 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals in 1988. The Jazz would lose that game to the Los Angeles Lakers. Here’s the Basketball-Reference page for that team.
It’s a crazy look at the rarely seen inner world of Jazz pre-game preparation from that era. Bobby Hansen comes off like a clown, and his performance kind of makes sense of the Bart Kofoed incident. Thurl Bailey, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Mark Eaton, and even the late Larry Miller make appearances.
