Utah Jazz shooting guard Kyle Korver was drafted by the New Jersey Nets with the 51st overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft.

The Nets then sold Korver to the Philadelphia 76ers for an undisclosed amount. According to Korver, though, the Nets used some of that money to buy a copy machine. The Jazz sharpshooter told the story during his commencement speech this past Saturday at his alma mater, Creighton University:

“The 51st pick, to the New Jersey Nets,” Korver began, recounting the day he was drafted in 2003, via AJ Neuharth-Keusch of USA TODAY Sports. “I found out shortly afterwards that I had been traded to Philly. I'm not sure if traded is the right word.

“I was more or less sold for an undisclosed amount of money. I later found out (the Nets) used that money to pay for the entry fee for their summer league team, and with the leftover money, they bought a copy machine.

“But it's OK, because a couple of years ago, that copy machine broke. And I'm still playing.”

What a tremendous and hilarious story.

Korver has established himself as one of the best 3-point shooters in NBA history, and he shot nearly 40 percent this past season even though he just turned 38 years old. That copy machine, meanwhile, is toast.
