Utah Jazz make a Smoove Move

JP Gibson, a five year old who was diagnosed with lymphoblastic leukemia was like every other five year old except he got to play in the NBA at the age of five.

The Jazz inked him to a one day contract and got to play with players like Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors, Trey Burke, and even the fifth pick in the draft this year, Dante Exum. He was diagnosed with leukemia in 2012, and fell in love with sports. One of his favorite teams is the Utah Jazz and his dream is to play with the team. He got to play in an intra-squad scrimmage (the same teams separated into starters and non starters). His mother told ESPN, 

“JP loves most sports, but basketball is definitely his favorite. When he was just over a year old, he would sit with my husband Josh watching games. He started insisting on shooting hoops for an hour each night before bedtime when he was just 15 months old. He knows he has to be six before he can play Junior Jazz, and he reminds us all the time that he can’t wait until he’s six.”

 JP got to go on the court and shoot the ball in an actual NBA court and got to do one of every kids dreams. Kids all around the world dream to play in a  professional sport with terrific sports players and stars. JP will remember that moment for the rest of his life.
