While the Utah Jazz are coming off a 22-60 record in 2025-26, it was a slight improvement from their 17-65 mark in 2024-25. Even so, the Jazz and their talented young core hope to return the team to playoff contention sooner rather than later. With names like Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr., along with young standouts such as Keyonte George, Ace Bailey, Darryn Peterson, Brice Sensabaugh and Isaiah Collier, there's understandably some reason for real optimism.
And at the very least, we now know there's at least one young Jazz superfan who is completely hyped up for the 2026-27 NBA season, and he had a message for the Jazz, Bailey, and a few other players while showcasing his skill set on his own indoor mini hoop.
After kicking off the video
with a personal message, "Okay, Ace Bailey and the other players, let's do good, okay?" this young fan quickly raised the hype by shouting for the team to win the NBA Finals. His impressive energy and messages to the Jazz kept coming, as the fan added in a quick pep talk telling the team that they can win the NBA Finals if they "work together," and he even showed off what he called "The Ace Bailey Dunk."

His parting message and shout-out to Bailey, along with his impressive card collection (among other things), quickly made it clear that this young hooper is a big Ace fan. And if I'm being honest, this left me pretty excited about Jazz basketball this season, especially Bailey's sophomore campaign.
For good measure, this young fan also deserves a tip of the cap for his over-the-head, no-look shot, because I'm pretty sure I couldn't do that even if I had 20 chances.
