I met Lauri Markkanen and this is what happened...

[@thamor4746]

Oh nice, so jealous. But you living closer to him than us fans from Finland nowadays makes it much easier for you to meet him :D. This was such a cool thing to see another viewpoint for what Lauri does outside of games too and not just the edited Jazz content, but from real fan =)

[@sportyspence17]

Don’t worry, I thought of all the Finnish fans. Big reason why I had him sign the Finland jersey 😁

[@thamor4746]

@@sportyspence17 If you had told us earlier you were going to do this we could have set you up for some funny finnish quote you could have thrown at him to get him confused :D. Don't worry Lauri is from Finland and the most chill person ever =)

[@qqqqqzzzzzz]

I met Lauri in the army here in Finland, so down to earth. A great guy!

[@kablogtv]

I'm not even from the US but I'm a huge Jazz fan. I was 8 when I started watching the NBA, and fell in love with the Stockton and Malone tandem. Bought all Stockton and Malone NBA collectible cards that I could find. Cried when they lost to the Bulls. Now I have more reason to love the Jazz because my kababayan Jordan Clarkson plays there. Hoping they'd win their first championship this year.

So happy to help you out with this man, we are killin it!!

[@dericktaylor6165]

Thank you for sharing your experience! Laurie is a special person and an amazing player. I've never seen him play in person, but I plan on attending some Jazz games at The Delta Center in the near future!

[@sportyspence17]

Yes! Going to games is so much fun! You’ll have to make a trip to the Delta Center and experience it!

[@Kimi4548]

Thank you for this! Loved Being with your Jazz tour. Love from Finland

[@Nostalgianic]

10:56 That was cool to see Mauri Larkkanen! 😁 That was a fun video! Keep it up! 11:38 You guys should do some travel videos visiting other arenas to see the Jazz play in other cities! Other fans could recommend places to visit while you're in their city. That'd be fun to see!

[@petterituohino6392]

Thanks for sharing the trip with us, an awesome video. Happy for you meeting Lauri. I hope i meet him one day too😄

[@magicofshootingstar]

Lauri was low-key asking if you have some kind of Finnish connection since you had that jersey 😄 Glad for you that you got to meet him!

[@magicofshootingstar]

Oh and Mauri is also Finnish male name 😉😂 So if not the guy you tried to say, right country still 😂

[@sportyspence17]

Not sure why Mauri came out of my mouth 😅

[@magicofshootingstar]

@sportyppence17 Tiredness? Thinking faster than speaking? No worries, that happens 😄

[@HelloThere-sh8el]

[@harrikuusjarvi3795]

[@801MOTO3]

Really cool vlog man. As someone who is born and raised in utah and a die hard jazz fan....this was sweet. Also really disappointed that I wasn't aware lauri was doing a meet & greet 😢. Would love to see more vids like this 👌

[@Lordperson3]

Nice I live in Santa Clara !

[@stacijones3761]

Great job on the Vlog, I just subscribed to you a few weeks ago and love seeing your enthusiasm for the team I've been following my whole life. Was that the Plaza you were staying at? It looked like the view, its where we also stay when we come down for a jazz games. We also eat at Crown Burger too! Love the mushroom burger and pastrami burger. Go Jazz!

[@jchrproductions]

Yeah, It was the plaza haha, I work for Best Western!

[@sportyspence17]

Thank you! It means a lot. I really enjoy the pastrami burger as well 😁

[@timma8510]

Subbed. Nice video! What a great experience. How often do you get up from St George to watch Jazz games?

[@sportyspence17]

I try to go about three or four times a season! Always worth the short trip up there.

[@latemtta]

good vid

[@drewsteroni6440]

Super cool video

[@petejoki]

Hello Utah 🤘🇫🇮🤘

[@sportyspence17]

Hello Finland!

[@kablogtv]

Wow I didn’t know Magnus Calrsen 1:49 is a Jazz fan!

[@jchrproductions]

Except I'm no good at chess😂

[@kablogtv]

@@jchrproductions oh it's you! my pleasure :)

[@huzaa]

Cool vlog 🤩 Btw did Will Hardy coach/develop Dejounte Murray at San Antonio? Could there be a deal in the works to get him to Utah? I think he could slide in to Dunn's place if playoff contention is the goal this year... Two firsts and a young player for estblished pro, would you go for it?

[@sportyspence17]

I think two first rounds is reasonable for a guy like Murray. I haven’t watched him play much, but he could be a solid pickup. His last season with the Spurs he averaged 9 assists per game. I think if he moved back to PG it could really elevate his game. Trae Young seemed to steal Murray’s thunder since Young is such a ball dominant player.

[@eastern05]

Sweet

[@n8johnson]

Sports!

[@sportyspence17]

Yeah ha!!! Sports!!

[@DRJAZZ435]

Sporty Spence!!!
