A) The Jazz crawling out of a 22-point trench only to defeat what may develop into the best team in NBA history or
B) Our firstborn, Jake, watching the two most thrilling Jazz regular season wins live and in person - even though they were played two time zones and two decades apart?
Jake lives in Davie, Florida, about 30 minutes north of the star-studded Miami Heat. His bro, Steve, took advantage of his SkyWest benefits and the two of them attended Tuesday's gasping Jazz overtime win over the Labronites. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCiHOpNJXnc
They may have been the only two who left the arena in ecstacy. "After the game we saw one guy with a Karl Malone jersey, but that was it," Jake says of the Jazz fan base in Miami.
As a 14-year old Jake watched the 1992 Jazz triple overtime win over the Michael Jordan crew. That summer his dad dangled this carrot (translate 'bribe'):"You earn your reading merit badge, and I'll make sure you get a ticket to the Bulls-Jazz game."

I forked out 3x face value from a scroungy scalper to meet my fatherly obligations. Jake attended that game by his little lonesome as his family listened to Hot Rod in the family van. Michael threw a tizzy and got ejected as the Jazz sealed the deal in the final .4 second.

Peace, love and all that Jazz,http://articles.latimes.com/1992-02-04/sports/sp-1178_1_chicago-bulls Jake leaned more toward the Bulls in those days, but has since modified his loyalties.
