What a stupid name. -- nm - Utah Jazz Apr 8, 08:20 6
- Does that name celebrate Utah's long history of jazz? -- nm - Roger More Apr 8, 08:24 4
  - Looks like your implied /s was missed :) -- (edited) - Shaun Apr 8, 08:30
  - They transferred from New Orleans in the 70's I think and didn't change the name -- nm - amoxy Apr 8, 08:27
  - In reality they kept the name when the team moved from New Orleans. It just fits really poorly in Utah. -- nm - pmb Apr 8, 08:26 1
    - I was just reading this. I also didn't know that the Lakers got their name from being a Minnesota team - I thought they got their name from L.A. -- nm - Roger More Apr 8, 08:29
- Think of the Kia sponsorship potential, though -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 08:23
