The Full History of the Utah (New Orleans) Jazz

From New Orleans and “Pistol” Pete Maravich… to Stockton and Malone’s legendary pick-and-roll… to Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert’s rise and fall… and now, the Lauri Markkanen era — this episode takes you through the entire story of the Utah Jazz.

We’ll cover the wild early years when the team nearly folded, the heartbreak of the 1997 and 1998 Finals, the Deron Williams–Carlos Boozer run, and the modern rebuild led by Danny Ainge. Along the way, we’ll relive the moments every Jazz fan remembers: Stockton’s shot to send Utah to the Finals, Jordan’s Flu Game, the “We Believe” Warriors series, and Mitchell’s epic duel in the bubble.

Whether you’re a die-hard Jazz fan or just curious how this small-market team became one of the NBA’s most passionate franchises, this is the full story.
