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. Buy
