"They're Not Talked About Very Much"

[MeloTheJazzKiller]

Just going with your criteria of a team being more than one player. And one event at an all-star weekend is as good as another.

No. 2ball is one player - Hornacek. The other player was some girl who didn't play for the Jazz. She played for the Stars or something. Exactly how could that be a Championship for the Utah Jazz? Come on, I deal in reality, you Jazz fans are living in some fantasy land.

Hey, you know I could be just as loony as you Jazz fans and say, Hornacek was my Knicks coach so the 2ball Championship he won is really another Knicks championship. But I am not as loony as you so I recognize that the Knicks have three Championships under their belt: 1969 Finals, 1973 Finals, 2012 Shooting Stars Competition.

You mean before Nixon was impeached?
Damn, dude. In four years, that’ll be 50 years ago.

Uhh, this is 2012. Do the math. That's not 50 years ago.

You mean before Nixon was impeached?

Damn, dude. In four years, that’ll be 50 years ago.

And by the way, Nixon was never impeached.

I suppose the Jazz get to claim Ricky Rubio's FIBA World Cup championship from this summer. And Thurl Bailey's NCAA championship. This is a fun game!

(have any other Jazz players won NCAA championships?)

You are being silly. You are also going down a losing path.

Try to beat this:

2000-2001 High School Champions

2002-2003 NCAA Champion

And he has THREE of these:

Since you're reminiscing, perhaps you can tell us what you remember about those first two Knicks championships.

We won.
All three, not two.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

Right. I've heard the rumor.

Perhaps you can enlighten me (since I wasn't alive in '70 or '73) with your own personal memories of those championship runs.

I don't know if you are trying to be funny or you are just ignorant about basketball. But, yes, Justin Wright-Foreman CAN play. I saw all his Hofstra college games. He is extremely talented. Outside of Donovan Mitchell, JWF is the best player on the Jazz. You Utonians are still using telegraph for communications so you folks just don't know that yet.

JWF isn't the 2nd best player on the Jazz, but he looks better than your guy Dennis Smith Jr., tbh.

The Utah Stars won the ABA Championship in 1971, btw. Apparently, back then people were slower and only gray.

Dennis Smith Jr. is a real puzzle. He should be one of the rising stars in the league, a future All Star, a guy talked about by all fans, a guy other teams have to game plan for. But he seems to me to be lazy and gets rattled easily. He has moves, has a shot, handles...straight A marks in all those....but he just can't put it all together.

Justin Wright Foreman I worry about. He is a super talent but he might be one of those guys that just slips through the cracks - never gets a true opportunity to show what he is capable of - and then disappears from the league. That's one thing I dislike about the NBA. Have 15 on your squad but only 8 or 9 in the rotation. Some guys just never get the opportunity they deserve.

 

[silesian]

Uhh, and if we played the Mavs every game we'd be 17-0.
Math isn't your specialty, is it?

Because every team that wins two consecutive games will automatically win the next 15.

Math, haha.

Wow, a high school national championship. Wow.

@MeloTheJazzKiller, I’m still waiting to read about your personal experiences. Just to make sure that you actually know what it’s like first hand to cheer on an NBA champ.

Otherwise, you’re just frontin’.

It was better than last year's 17-65 season.

I'm embarrassed that I forgot about this championship. I remember it, even went to a couple of Stars games back then (mostly because my dad dragged us there).

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

So you weren’t born yet. Got it.

 

[MeloTheJazzKiller]

So you weren’t born yet. Got it.

Wasn't born yet?

I'm old enough to remember when Utah was a backwards state that relied on telegraph and outhouses.
Oh, wait a minute...it's still that.

Sorry if you missed the Knicks championships because you guys out there were still using the telegraph. Soon you will get something called television. It will be 17 inch black and white screens but maybe you can wait a few more decades until you guys get something called a VCR. Hook that up to the TV, buy an NBA highlights tape, and you can see what the rest of the nation saw -- Knicks CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Willis, Clyde, Phil Jackson, Barnett, Bradley, DeBusschere, Earl The Pearl...greatest team in NBA history. Ask your school marm or your blacksmith to tell you about them.

Holy ****, you mean that you are a grown *** baby boomer trolling Utah Jazz fans?

Sorry if you missed the Knicks championships

*shrug, the way you were talking about it communicated the idea that you were a 30-something living in yer grandma's basement. But the truth is way better!

 

[homeytennis]

The Utah Stars beat your world champion Knicks the next year in a preseason game. Big Z, Willie Wise, Merv Jackson and the Booner were part of that team.
