You're misunderstanding the point entirely. I mentioned the 40 years because Utah has not had many stretches where they've tested being awful for multiple years. That is the point.
The fans' commitment to the franchise is predicated on the idea they will eventually turn into something...
Fans will stop coming. Especially now that the NHL is in the market.
Utah has been insanely consistent the last 40 years. In fact, prior to this season (and maybe still now - I haven't done the math), Utah was the 5th winningest franchise in NBA history (win percentage). The team has won a lot...
If the NBA is rigging the lotto either the Jazz front office is entirely in on it or they're ****ing stupid for not realizing it and putting all their eggs in the lotto basket.
I was a proponent of running it back for at least a couple seasons to see what we could get out of it. But everyone wanted to cut ties and maybe long-term, in a decade, we'll be better off for it. But right now? The Jazz are looking a lot like the Sacramento Kings circa 2007.
Utah is the easiest franchise to hate.
It's in a state no one likes.
Its two biggest stars in franchise history are a pedophile and a weirdo conspiracy theorist.
And they spent all season tanking just for this lmao
Give it time. Jazz fans will stop watching when the team fails to make the playoffs the rest of the decade. Especially if the Mammoth make the playoffs the next few years.
I'm out of the loop - what is this passively floated idea the Jazz will move to Vegas?
I've joked about it previously but I've never heard it even passively hinted by anyone.
If anything, they'll relocate out to Lehi or something ridiculous and away from downtown.
J&J accounted for just 7% of vaccinations in the US.
Your dwelling on this nonsense, when the issue likely resulted in a much smaller overall risk than COVID itself, and both-sidings it with Stockton's insane and outrageous claims, is ridiculous. Do better.
I mean, you can deny it all you want but there's a reason SLC has the reputation it does.
I'm assuming you're white (Jewish, I'm guessing, in the US). You've probably lived your entire life in a city where white people made up at least a huge chunk of the population.
I don't think anyone on...
I never said no one wants to play/stay here. Please do not twist my words. I said it's a bigger challenge to get that all star talent to remain here. I mapped out exactly how long those players have remained with the Jazz in response to someone who said other NBA teams have won titles with...
I think they face a similar stigma as SLC to be honest.
But the big difference is that Oklahoma City is 14% black and Milwaukee is almost 40% Black.
Salt Lake? 3%.
I do think that plays a role. We have the smallest Black population of any NBA city. Even Portland (6%) and Phoenix (7%) have a...
