Great Moments in Utah Jazz History

1974 - The Utah Jazz began as the New Orleans Jazz in 1974, then struggled through a decade at the bottom before emerging as perennial contenders in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The original Jazz lineup featured high-scoring Hall of Famer "Pistol Pete" Maravich, one of the most entertaining players in NBA history. In its later incarnation as the Utah Jazz, the team's main drawing cards have been scoring machine Adrian Dantley; Darrell Griffith, basketball's "Dr. Dunkenstein"; guard John Stockton, whom many observers consider the best passer in league history; and Karl Malone, a forward who has combined power and grace to become one of the dominant stars of his era John Stockton opens his 18th consecutive season with the Utah Jazz, a NBA record for most consecutive seasons with the same franchise and Karl Malone ties the record with his 17th consecutive season with the team.

After a two year wait, rookie Andrei Kirilenko a first round pick in 1999, joins the team from Russia, along with newcomers John Amaechi and rookie Jarron Collins. Utah opens the season 6-11, their worst start since 1982-83, but rebound to go 10-5 in December and finish 2001 with a 16-15 mark. From January through March, the Utah Jazz compile a 25-17 record, including an 8-3 record in February, when the team plays 9 of 11 games on the road during the 2002 Winter Olympics. The team heads into April with a 40-32 record, their high mark on the season, being eight games over .500, but go just 3-6 over the final nine games to drop from the sixth to eighth spot in the West. Utah finishes just 25-16 at home, their worst home record since going 21-20 in 1982-83, but finish a respectable 19-22 on the road.

The team goes 19-11 against the Eastern Conference, but are 25-27 against the West and just 8-16 in the Midwest Division. Along the way, Karl Malone recorded 21 milestones, including scoring his 34,000th career point and John Stockton surpassing eight milestones, including his 15,000th assist and 3,000 steal, adding to his NBA all-time records. Stockton became just the 10th player in NBA history to play at the age of 40 and proved he's still one of the NBA's elite player, finishing 5th in the league in assists (8.2), 5th in field goal percentage (.517) and 10th in steals (1.85). Malone ends the season 9th in the league in scoring, while Donyell Marshall finishes 3rd in the league in field goal percentage (.519). Kirilenko is selected to play in the Schick Rookie game during All-Star Weekend and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, marking the first Utah Jazz player to be named to the first team since Karl Malone in 1985-86.

As a team, the Jazz lose 141 games to player injuries; most notably, John Crotty 41 games due to knee surgery, Donyell Marshall 24 games with various injuries and Bryon Russell missing 16 due to a pelvis injury. Utah uses an uncharacteristic 10 different starting lineup and ends the season with two rookies in the starting lineup (Kirilenko and Collins) for the first time in team history. The Utah Jazz end the season seeded eighth in the Western Conference, making the playoffs for the 19th consecutive season (Second only to the Portland Trailblazers * 20 straight). Utah finishes with a 44-38 record, their worst record since the 1986-87 season (44-38) and their lowest seeding ever in the playoffs. The Utah Jazz face Sacramento, the league's best team during the regular season in the First Round and bow out to the Kings in four hotly contested games and are eliminated.
