Who was the team’s biggest rival of the Stockton-Malone era?

Yes. All of them.
Free throws.
I think the Jordan Bulls should be included here.
Bulls or Rockets
Hard to not have it be the bulls considering that’s who sent them home from the finals back to back.
I would say Jazz FO tend to agree considering the wifi at the stadium lmao
#jordanpushedoff
Definitely the Jordan/Pippen/Rodman Bulls 97/98
How is it not the bulls?
How is it not the Jordan Bulls?
The shot clock
Bulls easily.
The Delta Center’s wifi name is your answer
Rockets as a conference rival, Bulls as an out of conference rival.
I remember having a lot of playoff matchups with the Blazers and Sonics in the early 90s before we ever made the finals. I considered them our biggest rivals before we made the finals and lost to Jordan twice in a row
Jordan’s Bulls and it’s not even close.
This a joke?
Those are good choices but I feel the Spurs were a consistent hurdle for the Jazz.
Agree with others it should be Bulls. But I was a kid in the stadium during the 97 Conference finals against the Rockets and the whole crowd chanting “Barkley Sucks” will be forever imprinted on my fandom haha!
Greg Ostertag
Vernon Maxwell
Easily Houston. I’ll never forget Kenny Smith, Sam Cassell, Robert Horry, and Vernon Maxwell. Those guys around the dream were tough!
Jordan
Id say the Rockets
The obvious answer is the Bulls.
Personally, the Blazers occupy a large space in the discussion of Jazz rivals. I grew up in Portland, Rip City was my life, Drexler was and still is my all time favorite athlete, and I hated the Jazz.
I moved to Utah in the mid-90s, Drexler had moved on to the Rockets and got his chip, and I fell in love with the Jazz (a love affair that still endures).
And then Jordan and the Bulls ripped my heart out, just like they did when I was in Portland. Fuck MJ.
