Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz is an American professional basketball team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. They compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Northwest Division of the Western Conference. Since 1991, the team has played home games at Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City. The franchise began play in 1974 as the New Orleans Jazz, based in New Orleans, Louisiana, before moving to Salt Lake City in 1979. The Jazz are the first franchise from the major North American professional sports leagues to be based in the state of Utah. They were joined in 2005 by Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer.
The Jazz were one of the least successful teams in the league in their early years. Although 10 seasons elapsed before the Jazz qualified for their first playoff appearance in 1984, they did not miss the playoffs again until 2004. During the late 1980s, John Stockton and Karl Malone arose as the franchise players for the team, and formed one of the most famed point guard–power forward duos in NBA history. Led by coach Jerry Sloan, who took over for Frank Layden in 1988, they became one of the powerhouse teams of the 1990s, culminating in two NBA Finals appearances in 1997 and 1998, where they lost both times to the Chicago Bulls, led by Michael Jordan.
Both Stockton and Malone moved on in 2003. After missing the playoffs for three consecutive seasons the Jazz returned to prominence under the on-court leadership of point guard Deron Williams. However, partway through the 2010–11 NBA season, the Jazz began restructuring after Sloan's retirement and Williams' trade to the New Jersey Nets. The team has made the playoffs one since then, in 2012 under coach Tyrone Corbin. Quin Snyder was hired as head coach in June 2014. Valued in 2015 at $850 million by ''Forbes'', the Jazz rank as the 20th most valuable franchise in the NBA ahead of the Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.forbes.com/teams/utah-jazz/ )〕
