Joe Ingles: Utah Jazz wing and TEMPUR Mattress enthusiast.

While players like Gordon Hayward, Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors comprise the core of the Utah Jazz roster, Joe Ingles probably leads the team in the rad dude department. His incessant Twitter harassment of Hayward alone is worthy of such props.

With that said, those aren’t the only areas in which Ingles is willing to lend his je ne sais quoi. In addition to his on-court bull-dogging and tweet abuse, Ingles’ rad-itude extends to other, unexpected avenues of life.

Courtesy of a recent video by the Australia/New Zealand chapter of TEMPUR, we learn two incredible facts about the Jazz swigman. Firstly, dude looks great in a sensible button-down shirt and kahkis. Second, and more importantly, Ingles is going to sell you a mattress–

As a guy who generally hates commercials, allow me to be the first to say that I’m sold. Hearing one as silky smooth with the pitch as Joe wax philosophical about the virtues of a good night’s sleep has me ready to count sheep as soon as this silly post is published.

With any luck, we’ll see Ingles bring his Billy Mays-esque pitch game stateside. I may be biased, but as a fan of Ingles’ low key style, I’m sure he would have amazing success hocking junkers at the Larry H. Miller Used Car Supermarket or teaming up with G-Time on five dollar footlongs.

Just another in a long line of reasons Jazz fans are lucky to have Slow Mo Joe locked down for the next couple seasons.
