Top 3 Utah Jazz players who could've won the NBA Championship but didn't

#2 Karl Malone

Karl Malone won a pair of MVP trophies...but no Championship.

It's difficult to even think of the idea of doing this list without mentioning Karl Malone. One of the greatest low-post scorers in the 90s, Malone spent an eye-opening 18-years with the Utah Jazz organization. The "Mailman" will go down as one of the greatest power forwards to ever play the game of basketball. He's near the top of the all-time scoring rankings for a reason. Malone played alongside teammate John Stockton, making it one of the most dangerous duos of offensive weaponry that the game of basketball has ever seen.

What's even more remarkable about Malone's career is that he made the playoffs every year of his career. Karl Malone would go on to win a pair of MVP trophies during his career, but he would never win a Championship. Malone would find himself making it all the way to the NBA finals twice but would end up losing to Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.

#1 John Stockton

John Stockton remains the greatest Utah Jazz player to never win a championship

One of the greatest point guards to ever play the game of professional basketball, John Stockton also dealt with the same career experience as Karl Malone (above). What's even more impressive is how long Stockton played with the Utah Jazz. After entering the NBA as a 22-year-old rookie, Stockton went on to play 19-years in the NBA, retiring after his final season when he played 27.7 minutes per game at the age of 40. Stockton was one of the most brilliant passers to ever play in the NBA. He went on to average more than 10.0 assists per game for 10 straight seasons. He still ranks first in NBA history in assists and steals.

During the 1989-90 season, the crafty guard would go on to average 14.5 assists per game. It's known as the best single-season mark in NBA history. Unfortunately for Stockton, he also ran into a number of incredibly tough opponents when it came to trying to win a championship. The Utah Jazz would make it to the Western Conference Finals a number of times throughout the 90s, but they would lose to teams including Hall of Famers Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon. Stockton remains one of the greatest NBA players to never win a ring during his career.
