Huerter was like many NBA players this weekend who were trying to navigate life in Salt Lake for All-Star weekend. It is a city that has notoriously drawn criticism from NBA players for a lack of nightlife in the past. Certain players on the Golden State Warriors once said they wanted to play the Los Angeles Clippers rather than the Jazz in the 2017 playoffs because of a lack of entertainment.
“The love is intense here,” Memphis All-Star Jaren Jackson Jr. said. “They definitely care about the players. The ovation for [Jazz player Walker Kessler] was crazy. Everybody has been very welcoming.” “It’s cool to hear your name called and the Salt Lake City crowd cheer. I couldn’t ask for a better fanbase — super, super thankful it’s here. Funny how something works like that. I’m getting a little choked up,” Kessler said.
