Utah Jazz Tickets

It's safe to call the Utah Jazz the best NBA team never to have won a championship. Utah Jazz made the playoffs a remarkable 20 years in a row before barely missing in 2003-04, their 19th straight season with a winning record. It was also their first campaign in almost two decades without the marvelous pick-and-roll combination of John Stockton and Karl Malone, who led the Utah Jazz Tickets to the Finals in 1997-98. Both times, it was Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls who broke their hearts. In fact, so much of Utah Jazz Tickets identity was crafted through the Hall of Fame Stockton/Malone tandem; one might be inclined to forget that the club had its share of earlier stars. The first player signed by the expansion New Orleans Utah Jazz Tickets in 1974 was Pete Maravich, who was a college plenum at neighboring LSU. After the team's 1979 move to Salt Lake City, such standouts as Darrell Griffith, Adrian Dantley and defensive specialist Mark Eaton contributed to the team's growth. For all the records, awards and amazing streaks, the Utah Jazz tickets still crave that long-awaited championship-a goal they will chase with a new generation of leaders.
