Kyle Korver
From Hoopedia
Kyle Elliot Korver(born March 17, 1981 in Lakewood, California) is an American basketball player with the Utah Jazz. He plays small forward and was drafted out of Creighton University by the New Jersey Nets in the second round (51st overall) of the 2003 NBA Draft. He previously played for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Kyle competed in both the 2004 and 2005 Foot Locker Three-Point Shootouts, coming in third and second in those contests respectively. In the 2004-2005 season, Korver tied for first place in three-pointers made with Quentin Richardson who both had 226. In 2006, a bobblehead modeled after Kyle Korver was created. However, Korver was not pleased with the bobblehead. "I think it's terrible... I don't like the hair at all. Why can't they have fake hair and some real socks? It's all in good fun, and hopefully people will get a laugh out of it." Currently in his fourth season in the NBA, Korver has become a sixth man, averaging more points per game off the bench than he had as a starter. Korver had a career high 31 points at Milwaukee on February 24, 2006, something he duplicated on February 21, 2007 at home against the New York Knicks.
Before going on to be Creighton University's fifth all-time scorer, he attended Pella High School in Pella, Iowa where he recently had his number 25 jersey retired.
On December 29, 2007 Korver was traded to the Utah Jazz for guard Gordan Giricek and a conditional first round draft choice.
Off the court, Korver holds a coat-drive with the 76ers, where he collects and donates coats to Operation Warm.
