Utah Jazz fever is awesome, but it’s causing real world problems
The Utah Jazz have captured the imagination of fans at levels unseen since the days of Stockton-to-Malone and their NBA Finals runs.
It’s pretty hard to deny that the Utah Jazz have one of the most passionate fanbases in the NBA. There was even a time when Jazz fans may have even been the league’s best. Images of Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan plugging their ears because the Delta Center crowd was just too darn loud during the 1997 and ’98 NBA Finals immediately come to mind.
Make no mistake, the state of Utah — and other fans from around the world — had a bad case of Jazz fever back then. A rather serious condition, indeed, and one that looks to be taking hold once again.
