Jae Crowder found his ultimate superfan ahead of Celtics vs. Jazz

Share

Jae Crowder probably expected to receive some warm welcomes Saturday night in Boston. But one fan took his support of the Utah Jazz forward to a whole new level.

Crowder was minding his own business warming up for Utah's game against the Celtics at TD Garden -- his first in Boston as a member of the Jazz -- when he drew some attention from a fan with a very specific getup.

Who knew there were Jae Crowder impersonators out there?

The superfan's persistence paid off, as he earned a photo op and a high five from Crowder after the forward finished his shootaround.

We have to give props to this guy, who really went all out to imitate Crowder's look (and showed up an hour early to watch him shoot around).

This isn't Crowder's first trip back to the Garden since the Celtics traded him in Aug. 2017 -- he visited with the Cleveland Cavaliers last season -- but Saturday still should be a special game for the 28-year-old, who became a fan favorite during his three seasons with the C's.
