Getting nostalgic tonight. A bit off topic for the game thread, but since it’s a historic night, why not post my “15 Greatest Utah Jazz Players of All-Time” list. To minimize bias, I judged by how many of the following awards they garnered while a Utah Jazz player: MVP, Finals MVP, All-NBA, All-Star, ROY, 6th Man of the Year, DPOY, and Defensive Team. I could only find 15 players who scored at least one point in any category. Here they are, with number of times they won at least one of the above mentioned awards:
1. Karl Malone 35
2. John Stockton 26
3. Rudy Gobert 14
4. Adrian Dantley 9
5. Mark Eaton 8
6. DeRon Williams 5
7. Andrei Kirilenko 4
8. Carlos Boozer 3
9. Donavan Mitchell 2
10. Memo Okur 1
11. Mike Conley 1
12. Ricky Green 1
13. Gordon Hayward 1
14. Jordan Clarkson 1
15. Darrell Griffith 1
