    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">According to a Sports Illustrated poll of 248 NBA players, 27 percent named the Jazz as the team (other than they're own) for which they would least like to play.
    Toronto was second at 16 percent, followed by Atlanta (10 percent) and Milwaukee (six percent).
    San Antonio was picked as the team respondents would most-like to play for at 13 percent, followed by Miami (11 percent).
    The survey was completed in January, and runs in the issue of the magazine that hits news stands today.</div>

    well..it was surveyed in January and its the organization not the city which most players dont want to play for..and most importantly this was surveyed wayy before Brian Colangelo was hired
    so this prolly changed the opinions of a lot of players due to the direction which we r heading

    If it's got nothing to do with the city, then why's Utah, a team that nearly made the playoffs, dead last in the poll? It's because Salt Lake City is a place where 99% of the residents Caucasian and Mormon, and it's a place where the 'high life' is frowned upon. By the same logic, most players probably just don't want to play for Toronto because it's in Canada. I'm not saying that America's better, but playing in another nation would probably just be uncomfortable to a lot of players.
