The Note

What makes the Utah Jazz standout on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook? The team’s social media manager, Angie Treasure, gives us an inside look at what it’s like to follow Donovan Mitchell around during All-Star Weekend, developing the team’s social media voice, and creating community online.

Boris Diaw is living his best life.

Not that that should surprise you.

The French big man was arguably the NBA’s most interesting personality during his 14 seasons in the league. And Diaw hasn’t disappointed since announcing his retirement (from the deck of his boat) from professional basketball last summer.

Diaw joined The Note podcast recently to talk about his retirement plans, his time with the Jazz and why he continues to make Utah his home base in the states.

A rundown of the episode:

1:25 — On finishing his career in Paris and why he decided to retire when he did

4:00 — Adventures aboard the S.S. Babac

11:20 — Photography, favorite meals, and whether it’s OK to Instagram your food

14:15 — Wine, playing for Gregg Popovich, and the Spurs’ changes

17:00 — The Utah Jazz coffee club, choosing to keep his house in Utah, Seqwaying across Canyonlands and learning to ski again

22:00 — Thoughts on this year’s Jazz team and Rudy Gobert’s development

Mark Eaton thought someone would have broken his record by now. But all of these years later, the retired Utah Jazz center’s 456 blocks during the 1984-85 season and the 3.5 blocks per game he averaged for his career are still the NBA's gold standard when it comes to swats. On this week’s episode of The Note, Eaton joins the podcast to talk about becoming eligible for the Hall of Fame, his time playing for Frank Layden and Jerry Sloan, and his relationship with Jazz center Rudy Gobert.
