Upper Bowl Jazz Fan

A Jazz fan (not me) calls out CJ Miles via Twitter on bad play. He responds…

I came across an interesting Twitter dialogue between a Jazz fan and the one and only CJ Miles that took place after last night’s win against the Bobcats.  After reading this, I do feel bad for CJ.  I’m glad he’s not ignorant to how things are playing out for him this season.  Some people never make that kind of admission or recognition.  Hopefully it means that he works a little harder and tries to be a little bit better.  As fans I do think we have the right to call out the players on bad play.  It definitely makes them more human when you can see that they genuinely feel bad about it and want to improve.  I thought it was funny that CJ addressed this LEaton4Jazz as “bro” seeing that it was a girl…

@LEaton4JAZZ k cj I’m not hatin on u but you are sucking! You need to spend less time in tha lab workin on rap and more time workin ur shot!
