NBA: The all-time starting 5 of the Utah Jazz

Guard – John Stockton

Stockton looks to pass

One of the best point guards of all time, John Stockton formed a great partnership with Karl Malone. Together, they led the Jazz to 18 playoff appearances including two trips to the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998. The duo both came up short against Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.

A great passer and defender, Stockton is not only the all-time leader in assists and steals for the Jazz but also for the entire NBA. He is also a ten-time All-Star, a two-time All-NBA First Teamer, six-time All-NBA Second Teamer, and three-time All-NBA Third Teamer. His No.12 jersey has been retired by the Jazz and he has a bronze statue outside of the Vivint Smart Home Arena along with Malone.

Honourable Mention: Guard – Deron Williams

There was once a time when many people believe Deron Williams was a better player than Chris Paul. Williams was a beast from 2005 to 2011 for the Jazz and he was named an All-Star three times. He was also named to the All-NBA Second Team twice in 2008 and 2010.
