Things got exciting for the Utah Jazz fans, and no, it was not because they made a high-profile signing or anything of the sort. The 2021 NBA Sixth Man of the Year and Jazz guard, Jordan Clarkson, was interviewed by a reporter who apparently, had no idea who he was.
Hayley Crombleholme of KUTV was the guilty party this time, as she interviewed Clarkson off the street without realizing it. Funny story, the interview was centered on the Utah Jazz.
Donovan Mitchell and Joe Ingles wasted no time in reacting to the video that circulated on social media. Both teammates could not hold back their laughter as Mitchell exclaimed, “This is comedy!!!” Clarkson also responded to Hayley on Twitter when she posted the video stating she had follow-up questions.

In the interview, she first asked him to spell out his name which the 6’4″ guard obliged. She followed that up by asking him if he has been to any Jazz games.
Had him spell his name and everything 🤦♀️. I’m only mildly (okay highly) embarrassed pic.twitter.com/mWFO6eXOjp

Clarkson will need to up his game in the 2021-22 NBA season to become more recognizable on the streets. He finished the 2020-21 season averaging 18.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists as a rotation player. Sadly, he was still not recognized.
