Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz, founded in 1974 as the New Orleans Jazz, are a professional basketball team now based in Salt Lake City. Initially struggling, the team saw a transformative period in the late 1980s with standout players John Stockton and Karl Malone, forming one of the most renowned duos in NBA history.
Under coach Jerry Sloan's leadership, the Jazz became a powerhouse in the 1990s, making two NBA Finals appearances. In recent years, stars like Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell propelled the team back into contention, achieving the league's best regular season record in 2020–21. Despite early playoff exits, the Jazz continue to be a competitive force in the NBA.
