Utah Jazz rookies paint their nails sparkly pink for hazing

The Utah Jazz rookies fell victim to some classic NBA rookie hazing earlier this week, which is usually pretty light in nature. Basketball hazing can include everything from wearing a children’s backpack to getting punked out over a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. For the Jazz, it involved taking a trip to the nail salon.

I’m sure Utah rookies Rudy Gobert and Ian Clark didn’t actually go to the salon, but it’s more fun to pretend they did. As you can see, the rookies got their nails painted different shades of sparkly pink. The only thing that could make this better is if Gobert and Clark had to play with the nail polish on Sunday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

I guess you could argue that painted nails is better than the treatment Enes Kanter got in Utah last season. That would make me 100 times more cranky.
