Does Ace Bailey love UTAH!?!

Does Ace Bailey love UTAH!?!

Does Ace Bailey actually love Utah? Looks like it might be possible. Let’s talk about his hoopser show. [Music] All right, guys. Before we get into this, make sure you like the video, subscribe to the channel. All right. So, Ace Bailey is in Utah. We all heard the drama. That drama has quieted down and quieted down a lot. I’m sure Jonathan Gabon is a little disappointed. He doesn’t have an article to write or anything to say to get a few more clicks. He’s just sort of disappeared into his Gollum shadow. But Ace Bailey certainly appears to be loving Utah. If you haven’t read it already, go to the Desireette News site. Go read the Utah Jazz article by Sarah Todd. It’s phenomenal. You get a good recap. I also wrote about it on SLC Dunk. You can go there. But Utah is treating this Ace Bailey situation perfectly. We have to talk about it a little bit. This has some crazy ramifications that I think are really important for the future. Now, we all know the stories. Like I said, the Ace Bailey wants to go to the Wizards, doesn’t want to go to Utah, doesn’t want to go to Charlotte, doesn’t want to go to Philly. Some of those may have been geographical. You know, Utah has the stigmas whether they’re fair or not. They’re not fair, but they’re there. And you know, he didn’t want to go to Charlotte because there were lots of rumors going on that players did not want to play with LaMelo Ball because the ball’s in his hands. And if you watch LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets, you can see why. Go watch a Charlotte Hornets game. You’ll wonder how many times anyone else gets to actually touch the ball. I mean, there’s times where I was rooting for LaMelo Ball because of tanking purposes, but it is rough at times. And so, he didn’t want to go there. In Philadelphia, it was because he was going to probably come off the bench with so many players on the floor that are, you know, Tyrese Maxi, uh, Jared McCain, Paul George, and obviously Joel Embiid. There were not going to be a lot of minutes and touches going to Ace Bailey. So, you can see why he kind of maneuvered his way out of there. Geographically, that was the issue with Utah. I don’t I just don’t know if it was like top of his list. And like I’ve said in other videos, I mean, if you were going to the NBA and they said you’re going to Minnesota or Oklahoma City or somewhere like that, if you were just kind of picking where you wanted to be, let’s say you’re you didn’t like the Lakers growing up and you were going to get drafted by the Lakers, would you have loved it? Probably not. But if you get drafted by them, then you’re going to make the best of it. Well, Utah did more than just make the best of it. They have treated this situation perfectly. We all know that Ryan Smith and his one of his big things is to really showcase Utah and he’s doing a great job. We got to give him credit. He is doing a great job and he really along with you know the Angels Xanic really bet on this Utah Jazz organization what they could do if they brought a star into Utah and then also just Utah itself. They banked on their ability to win him over with how they treated him and with Utah itself being something that he could really enjoy. And honestly, when players come here, they enjoy it a lot more than they realize. If you saw the Derek Favors tweet where he talked about how he can understand someone come where he was from, you know, Atlanta and came to Utah, he can understand why players think, “Ah, I’m not going to love it there.” But when you get here, you can find gold is what Derek Favors said. And there is a lot of players that have come here and loved it. Mike Connley, when he left, was really not happy. his wife, if you didn’t follow her at all, they made their first trip back to Utah and she was just crying about how much she missed Utah. There’s so many players that come here and they enjoy it. Especially players that want to find kind of a nice, enjoyable place to raise a family that’s, you know, just feels good. There’s great, it’s just a great place to live. There’s so many things to do for families here. You’ve got the mountains and the canyons 10 minutes away. There’s all sorts of things to do for players here. Now, it’s not for everyone. If you’re a young player looking to go out to the club or whatever, I am not familiar with how you even say that word, but it’s not for everyone obviously. And there have obviously been players that wanted to go elsewhere for, you know, reasons. I don’t know, you know, but there have been players that loved it. I know that Darren Williams, superstar, regretted leaving. Gordon Hayward regretted leaving. Darren Williams still comes back and lives in Utah for parts of the year. He has a house in like Holiday, I believe, and enjoys being here. It’s a great place to be and players end up enjoying it. So, Utah knew that, brought him over and it’s great. And the reason I got to give a lot of credit to Austin A and the Angels in general is because they have changed this mindset and viewpoint that so many Jazz fans have that is just ridiculous and stupid and I’ve I hope we’ve put it to bed. I hope it’s dead to be honest. And it is this idea that oh no players don’t want to be here. They just leave after seven years. Oh, I’m going to go cry in my room. Go cry in your room. Go to your room. That’s what I say to you Jazz fans with that viewpoint. Go away. You have all been proven wrong. All of you. You little whiners. You little weasels. You wieners. You bums. Stop that. Grow some. Grow up. Start having some confidence in your life and in Utah like the Utah Jazz because Danny A and Austin A and whoever did not have that viewpoint. They believe in Utah. They believe in themselves. It’s called winning mindset. It’s called belief. All this fear mindset can go away. Literal Jazz fans that were like we’ll never win a title. No. No, the Jazz can and will. And it is by doing stuff like this. First, it is putting yourself in a spot to get the player you need. Second, it is having the selfrespect and the confidence and belief that you can build and that you can bring these players here, win them over, and grow something, right? They have that belief. They did not believe that. They did not act like that. That is pathetic. Stop it. Learn something from this. Ace Bailey has come over and it’s gone perfectly. From the moment that Ace Bailey has come off the plane, the Utah Jazz organization has embraced him and made him feel welcome. But not just him, him and his management team. Yes, Omar Cooper has been embraced and it was the right thing to do. We saw that Ace Bailey goes to his first practice and then guess what? We see him going through these first practices and Omar Cooper Jr. Omar Cooper’s son is enjoying is being brought on as a guest coach. Now, you can argue that maybe there’s certain situations where it’s not good when a certain player has too much sway or say in what teams do looking at you, Donovan Mitchell. But guess what? It’s usually a good bet. If you have a player that has that kind of sway, it usually means they’re pretty good, right? So, Utah is setting this situation up really well. They obviously talked to Ace Bailey, talked to his camp, talked to everyone and said, “Hey, just come here and we’ll make it right.” And they’re doing it right. This is creating great great just karma, great situation, a great relationship with Ace Bailey and his his camp. I mean, it’s not like that’s anything new. You look at the New York Knicks Knicks and Jaylen Brunson, his dad is one of the assistant coaches. It’s not like that crazy. It’s not something out there. And they went to the Eastern Conference Finals. So, Utah is doing this right. They’re bringing on Omar Cooper Jr. And what makes that situation pretty cool is Omar Cooper Jr. is trying to work his way into becoming a coach, like working through his grad program or whatever. If you read Sarah Todd’s article, you can read about that. Pretty awesome. Pretty great. And Utah is now creating goodwill with Ace Bailey. He’s obviously happy and enjoying this new situation. Guess what? If Ace Bailey turns out to be great, maybe he wins rookie of the year. Who knows? But if he turns out great, he knows that this team has set him up to succeed, has treated him right, has treated his family right. And then guess what? One of the things they also believe is that he can fall in love with Utah and enjoy being here. There is not a lot of difference between Utah and like any of those other places that I’ve talked about, Oklahoma City, Minnesota, whatever. Do you think Cleveland’s any better than Utah? No. I thought it was so funny, by the way, when uh the the WNBA player was talking about situ situations she wants to be in and not be in. And she mentioned Cleveland being not a place WNBA players want to go. And you know, Jack, like no one jumped into that conversation quicker than Donovan Mitchell because Donovan Mitchell can’t handle not being perceived in the best light by by fans. Sorry, Donovan. Enjoy the humidity. Enjoy the Great Lakes. Enjoy the jorts. Enjoy the the stretch collared Ohio State T-shirts. That’s Cleveland. Enjoy it. There ain’t anything else. Ain’t nobody going to Cleveland. Remember what Joe Kim Noah said, Donovan. H. It’s just really good. You know, the grass is greener in Utah. I’ll be honest, it’s better than people think. No one talks about Donovan Mitchell anymore. He got a Donovan Mitchell got a shoe deal in Utah, right? Donovan Mitchell got more pub in Utah than he has in Cleveland. Now he’s just one of a bunch of guys in Cleveland. And you know, he got into all NBA, I guess, but that was partly because he’s in the Eastern Conference. If you come and make it in Utah and do well, Ace Bailey is going to get all the pub he could want. It’s not being on the Lakers, but nothing is. It’s It’s just as good as anywhere else. I mean, maybe he’d get more pub in New York, probably. Maybe. But guess what? He’s going to get a lot of pub here, especially if he wins. And Utah has set him up to succeed, and he might just love being here. All the signs are pointing to the fact that he does. So guys, shout out to the Allstars, shout out to the members.
