SALT LAKE CIT -- The Utah Jazz organization announced Wednesday that it will honor longtime broadcaster "Hot" Rod Hundley when the Jazz play the Sacramento Kings on Jan. 29.
Team president Randy Rigby said the night will include a halftime ceremony honoring Hundley, which will also include the dedication of the "Hot" Rod Hundley Media Center. The media center is used by journalists covering Jazz games.
"Hot Rod Hundley was an important part of the Jazz franchise for 35 years," Rigby said. "Though he's now enjoying retirement, we feel that it is important for Jazz fans and the organization to formally thank him for his years of service and dedication."
Rigby also said the new media center will not only showcase Hundley's passion for Jazz basketball, but will make sure his presence remains with the team.
