@DemasceionB@FastbreakHoops5 When did they lose? In the Finals
That stat is about winning 62+ games and MAKING the Finals
Our whole conversation was about the Jazz being one of the best teams in history to come in 2nd place

@DemasceionB@FastbreakHoops5 No, my main statement is 97-98 Jazz TEAM is 1 of 5 TEAMs to accomplish something
The other 4: 80s Celtics & Lakers, 90s Bulls, 16-17 Warriors all won at least one chip & are widely considered some of the few greatest TEAMs ever
A TEAM does that, OFF & DEF rating is irrelevant
@DemasceionB@FastbreakHoops5 97-98 Jazz are 1 of 5 teams EVER to win 62+ games & make it to the Finals back to back yrs
They lost both yrs to another team on that list
Malone retired 2nd in scoring, 6th in rebounding all-time
Stockton retired 1st in assists, 1st in steals all-time
There’s no comparison
@DemasceionB@FastbreakHoops5 I’m not saying the Kings aren’t one of the best to not win a title but the Jazz team is just on another tier
As great as Webber was or anyone else on that team
Stockton and Malone are clear all-time greats, top 75 players
As great as Pippen was he was never near Kobe or Shaq
@DemasceionB@FastbreakHoops5 I’m not saying the Kings were not a great team
They clearly were robbed in the conference finals in game 6
But that team just was not an all-time team
Jazz from the late 90s are clearly one of the best teams to never win a title in NBA history
@DemasceionB@FastbreakHoops5 I’ll give you the Spurs but none of those other teams come close to stacking up to the Jazz teams of 97 and 98
They won 62+ games back to back years
