all times. Miller was an enthusiastic owner. He had his own locker and wore a uniform to each game. He publicly greeted players on the court. He attended almost every game except for those held on Sundays, in order to observe the sabbath. Under Miller's ownership, the Jazz was the second-winningest team in the league. Miller had a close relationship with John Stockton. Miller claimed that Stockton considered him a father figure. Miller had a close, but volatile, relationship with Karl Malone. Malone would often express extreme affection for Miller and then publicly claim he was being mistreated by Miller and the team. Malone initiated numerous disputes over contracts. The two reconciled in 2007. Miller built Vivint Arena, formerly the Delta Center, in downtown Salt Lake City to house the Jazz. Jon Huntsman Sr. advised Miller against building the arena. The Jazz previously played in the Salt Palace. In October 2020, the Miller family agreed to sell the Jazz and Vivint Arena to Ryan Smith, founder of Qualtrics, for $1.66 billion. This price is about 70 times what the Miller family originally paid. Smith had a long-standing interest in the team. He even sponsored a jersey patch that raised $25 million for charity. Smith made proposals to the Miller family on several occasions before finally reaching acceptable terms. Terms of the deal require the team to remain in Utah and the Miller family will retain a minority interest. The Salt Lake City Stars of the NBA G League and management of the Salt Lake Bees minor league baseball team were also part of the deal. The Miller family said they planned to use the profits from this sale to diversify their businesses and engage in more extensive philanthropy. The Millers rejected previous offers to buy the Jazz. Salt Lake Bees Miller was an unpaid consultant in the project to construct Smith's Ballpark (formerly Spring Mobile Ballpark), now the home of the Los Angeles Angels' Triple-A affiliate Salt Lake Bees. He purchased the team in 2003 and changed the name from the Salt Lake Stingers to the Bees. Salt Lake Golden Eagles Miller owned the Salt Lake Golden Eagles ice hockey team, which he purchased in September 1989. Utah Starzz Miller owned the Utah Starzz WNBA team (Starzz referencing a former successful ABA team, the Utah Stars and the double-z in Jazz). Miller sold the team in 2002 to San Antonio
