When I was 17.......

That year covered parts of the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons.
In the 2000-01 part of that time period, the Jazz had one game decided by exactly 17 points when they beat the Hawks 99-82 on February 26. The Jazz had 17 losses in the season at that time.
In that same season while I was 17, the Mailman scored exactly 17 points on March 2.

In 2001-02, I was only 17 through 11 games. In that time, Stockton had 17 assists once, on November 16, 2001.
 
November 16, 2001 was the last time John Stockton recorded 17 assists in a game. The Jazz beat the Washington Wizards 101-92. Michael Jordan had 44 pts on 17 fgs. Greg Ostertag played 17 minutes, and Andre Kirilenko, a young 20 year old rookie, recorded his 17th career block in the game.

Not related to 17, Karl scored 30, Donyell Marshal scored 28 and Quincy Lewis Scored 18 for the Jazz.

Ronnie Price combined for 17 points and rebounds (16 points, 1 reb) as a member of the Sacramento Kings playing against the Jazz on November 22, 2006. IIRC that was the game when he threw down the monster dunk on Boozer.

Going along with this, the first time Stockton had 17 assists was December 2, 1985 in a 103-100 win over the Warriors. The Warriors made 17 FTs, Karl Malone had 17 points, and the Jazz pulled down 17 offensive rebounds.
 
In his first season with the jazz (04-05) Memo recorded 17 rebounds in two games. Once against Phoenix with Amare & Marion and also against Denver with Camby and Nene.

Ironcially in the same season Boozer also recorded 17 or more rebound in two games, once against Phoenix and once against Denver, but not the same games as Memo.
 
In 1990-91, the 17th season of their existence, the Jazz finished 17th in the league in 3 pointers made and attempted.
 
In 1995-96, in their 17th season in Utah, the Jazz ranked 17th in the league in minutes played. Hornacek averaged 17 (and a half) points per game in the playoffs, while Adam Keefe played in 17 playoff games.
 
Kris Humphries averaged 17 blocks per season (or a block every 44 minutes)with the Jazz.

His replacement, Carlos Boozer averaged 23 blocks per season (only a block every 88 minutes) with the Jazz.

The more I look at the numbers, the more I wonder what the team might have looked like had the 04-05 Jazz been satisfied with a front line of Okur, AK, Humphries, and instead of adding Boozer got a shot blocking center to play 18-24 minutes a night.


Well eat a bag of donuts and call me a llama, this thread made it to 17 posts.
 
ronnie price caught the jazz's eye largely because of his 13-point outburt against the jazz in april of the year he signed with the team. he hit three pointers in the kings' upset win over the eventual western conference finalists and even threw down a nasty jam over carlos boozer. but did you know that was only his second highest output against the jazz that season? in a blowout loss the previous november, price was 6-for-9 (including 3/3 from deep) on his way to 16 points. he had only 7 double-digit scoring nights that season, and two of them were against his future team.

also, he had a total of 17 playoff rebounds in his jazz career.
 
the jazz acquired henry bibby and a 1st round draft pick in 1975 when they traded jim barnett and neal walk. a year and a half later, they sold the player rights to bibby to the philadelphia 76ers for cash.

the draft pick that came with bibby was traded later that same year to kansas city (more on that in a sec) for ron behagen, and then the jazz were ordered to send behagen and cash to the hawks as compensation for signing their free agent, truck robinson. a year and a half later, the jazz traded truck robinson for marty byrnes, ron lee, a '79 1st rounder and an '80 1st rounder. byrnes only played 30 games before being waived, the '79 1st rounder (larry knight) never played in the NBA, and the '80 1st rounder (john duren) stayed with the jazz for two seasons before being waived, so the trail ends there for 3 of the 4 guys involved in the truck trade.

but ron lee, after playing exactly 17 games for the jazz in their final seaon in new orleans, was traded for two future second rounders. one of the two was traded to the denver nuggets for tom boswell, who finished his career here. the other second rounder became eddie johnson, who had a solid 17-year career, but not for the jazz; that's because they traded that and one other draft pick to the hawks so they could get terry furlow. furlow scored the final 878 points of his 2550 career points in 55 jazz games during the franchise's first year in utah, so the train ends there.

but remember how i said to remember that pick we traded to KCO? the kings drafted bill robinzine, and after several years traded him in a 3-team deal that landed him in cleveland. the cavs then flipped him (he never played for dallas) along with a draft pick (dallas would eventually draft derek "you go live in utah" harper), and then after one season with dallas, robinzine was traded back to utah, the team who had held briefly held his draft rights more than 6 years earlier and had used those draft rights to employee the string of players listed above: behagen, robinson, byrnes, lee, duren, boswell and furlow.

The dunk was in the November game.
