It wasn’t that long ago that LeBron James was telling everyone that no one wants to play as the Utah Jazz in NBA Jam. It didn’t make sense then, and it makes even less sense when you consider what the duo of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert would look like in NBA Jam today.
For Jazz fans growing up playing as John Stockton and Karl Malone, it was the perfect combo. You had the 3-point shooting, steals and passing of John Stockton mixed with the dunking, rebounding and size of Karl Malone. It was a perfect blend that dominated the game.
