And to be fair to Utah (that may be the first and only time I ever say that), the Jazz were originally from New Orleans.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izhevsk). This nickname makes way more sense than the one given to the team on which Andrei plays. Get serious. The Utah JAZZ??? Let's face it, there's nothing "jazzy" in Utah. Talk about the stars aligning.
