The Utah Jazz point guard curse is finally broken

The Utah Jazz of recent years can be defined by a few simple traits. A well-run organization, a respected coach, a passionate fanbase, and... a lifetime supply of temporary, disappointingly average, point guards.

The Standard

The Utah Jazz franchise was used to having a steady hand at point guard position. From 1980 to 2003, the Jazz had only two starting PGs (unless a rare injury required a reserve to make an odd start). That’s 23 straight seasons with only one change at starting point guard. Rickey Green started for six straight years before handing the reigns over to John Stockton.
