awesome thread
I guess quite literally New Orleans "owned" the jazz.
from wikipedia:
History
New Orleans Jazz 1974–1979
Utah Jazz 1979–present

Breaking news!
Are you serious?! Well the name makes more sense now.
Did you really think "Jazz" was a name that originated in Utah?
Btw - Minneapolis used to "own" the Lakers.
I said this before:
The Hornets become the Jazz.
The Jazz become the Mountaineers.
It's a win-win situation.
The histories of every franchise on one page.
My favorite is the Kings and their 30 year journey across the country from Rochester, NY to Cincinnati to Kansas City and Omaha and then finally to Sacramento.

Utah is known for it's rich history in Jazz music.
Utah has always been known for it's jazz and black community. They make the best gumbo, I hear.
I find the team name "Jazz" disgusting and pathetic. A great state like Utah being tarnished by some jigaboo team name.
Really? Wow...Nothing like stating a well-known fact to boost your post count.
That would be good.![]()
or raptors in toronto.
maybe they should convince Kevin "T-Rex" Willis to return from retirement and play for them.
another possibilty:
NO gets the Jazz Back
Utah become the Grizzlies
Memphis becomes the Blues
the bobcats enjoy NBA's most stupid name.
Excellent troll.
It's offseason, bro.
I don't remember an off season quite like this one.
Nah, "Thunder" is just as generic and would look right at home on a Junior School Soccer jersey. OKC should have chosen the "Barons", much cooler.
