The Year Was 1982

Written by Spencer | 16 February 2011

Some of you reading this, hadn't even been born yet. The NBA only had 23 teams, and the Jazz were one of the worst that year. 

Here is a snapshot of the 1982 Utah Jazz Roster. Yeah, I noticed their birthdays as well. If you saw Darrell Griffith at the Jazz Fan Fest 2010 last year, there is no way in hell this birthday is correct. 



Leading scorers and such. 



Here is your home losing streak.


Ok folks a few things about the above games. Yes, Seattle used to have a basketball team before David Stern and the owners of OKC ripped the team away from the fans of Seattle. The Sacramento Kings use to be in K.C., San Diego used to have a proffesional basketball team, and Knicks is short for Knickerbockers. 

Here are a list of other things that were going on the last time the Utah Jazz lost five home games in a row. 

"Tron" the original was released. 

Michael Jackson's "Thriller" sells 20 million albums, making it the largest selling record ever.


"867-5309" was the most popular phone number in the world. 

America had real tennis players, The San Fransico 49ers were superbowl champs, and the Lakers had just won another Championship.

Porky's was allowing 13 year-old boys everywhere to see their first set of "Titanics".


1982 a finacial and political glance.
