The Greatest NBA Teams That Came Crushingly Close—But Never Held the Trophy
5. 1996-97 Utah Jazz (9.3)
Reggie Miller. Charles Barkley. Patrick Ewing. There are plenty of players who never won a title because Michael Jordan and the Bulls stood in their way. John Stockton, Karl Malone and the Jazz made back-to-back trips to the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998, only to lose to Chicago in six games both times. In the 1997-98 season, the Jazz finished a West-best and franchise-record 64-18.
