Points
Fan lore
The weird, wonderful, and argument-starting stuff.
- Stockton & Malone: the pick-and-roll encyclopedia.
- Back-to-back Finals in 1997-98 as the last obstacle for Jordan’s Bulls.
- Kept the Jazz name after leaving New Orleans, which is weird and perfect.
Continuous franchises keep relocated history. Conference titles count from 1970-71, when the NBA split into conferences. Season boards and roster live on the other team tabs.
