MOUNT VERNON, Texas — For 10 seasons with the Utah Jazz, Greg Ostertag could be funny, feisty and even frustrating.

"I think that would be the thing that drove people mostly crazy about me, because I was very inconsistent," Ostertag said.

It's been 17 years since he last played for the Jazz. Today, he's living his dream in a tiny Texas town. We went to visit Greg, who talks about his family, the unusual animals on his farm, and why he still gets choked up about former Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. Watch his story to see what the former Jazz center is up to now.
