The Utah Jazz are clearly marked by a generation, that of John Stockton and Karl Malone. They played 18 seasons together, leaving a mark on an era and are one of the best duos in NBA history. They are also basketball legends, making it evident that they are icons of the franchise where they spent most of their lives. The point guard did so, but the power forward spent a final year with the Los Angeles Lakers.
However, it would be a mistake to limit ourselves to just that pair. They were well surrounded by Jeff Hornacek, Bryon Russell, Darrell Griffith, Thurl Bailey, and Mark Eaton. In the 70s, before achieving significant results, Pete Maravich shined. In the 80s, Adrian Dantley was one of the best scorers, delighting Jazz fans for several seasons.
In a more recent era, Deron Williams, Andrei Kirilenko, Carlos Boozer, and Mehmet Okur formed an interesting and entertaining quartet in the mid-2000s. Finally, the most competitive roster in recent times was led by Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, one of the greatest defensive big men of all time.
