“Kyle, Will You Wait For Me?”

Today’s Deseret News has a big feature on Salt Lake City’s love affair with Kyle Korver that lands somewhere between “amusing” and “super creepy.”

From the story:

On any night in EnergySolutions Arena, there are enough signs to fill the Republican Convention, most of them held aloft by women. Kyle, we love you. Kyle, will you marry me? From two young girls: Kyle, will you wait for me? From two older women: Why go for two when you can go for three?

Our favorite part of the story might be the statement that no player has been immediately embraced by Jazz fans since Jeff Hornacek, who arrived in Utah as a “bona fide star.”

    You know the Utah women prolly seen that pic and thought “Aww he is just so sensitive as well, look he doesn’t even want to foul that guy” LOL.

    Whatever he is doing he got the Utah ladies going crazy. Hopefully he will have his mind on them tonight instead of the game.

    Get at Kyle ladies…get at him!

  5. Dennis Castro says:

    When he was on the Sixers, at games there’d be groups of young girls screaming their heads off for Kyle, holding signs, etc.

    One of my friend’s girlfriend hung out with Kyle and said he’s a pretty cool dude.

    And I’ve seen him walking through the King of Prussia mall one afternoon and you couldn’t even recognize him if he wasn’t 6′7″. Just seems like he’s a regular dude.

    i bet he’s doing what magic johnson used to during halftime and shootarounds. he is blazing them lil youngin’s.
    ..and why shouldn’t he? free puss is one of the best parts of being a male celeb in yall country

  7. Three Stacks says:

    He should turn Mormon and bring polygamy back.

  8. djkianoosh says:

    three stacks, that was funny, but i think the good people in texas will take offense to that :-0 didn’t they just break up a huge polygamy ring that had all kinds of child abuse? i know you’re just playin around, but that stuff can get serious…

    kyle, be careful with the threesomes.. LOL

  9. GEE...BREAKOUT! Before ya get bumrushed... says:

    Them polygamy cats be some freaks don’t they lol.

    The women wasn’t even all that hot at the one camp that just got busted.

    I was like come on pimpin…them???

    I guess they was willing though, so oh well.

    Bet the ladies will go nuts if someone fights Kyle or he gets fouled hard.

    Dime — Hornacek was an All-Star (even in the west), and in philly was getting 21 and 7 and some boards and steals while shooting lights out (45+%/90+%/35+%).

  11. Celts Fan says:

    huge surprise, a traded player hasn’t been as embraced as this white dude since the last white dude? Hugely embracing white people in Utah? No way…

    Kyle is a cool guy from the one time I met him (a friend of mine knows him, she must be one of many he “knows”)

  12. JHov says:

    “Special K” looks kinda akward he’s probably not using that “celebrity status” to it’s fulliest potential! lol
