The 1999–2000 NBA season was the Utah Jazz's 26th season in the National Basketball Association, and 21st season in Salt Lake City, Utah.[1] During the off-season, the Jazz signed free agent Olden Polynice,[2][3] then later on signed Armen Gilliam in January.[4] Polynice became the team's starting center as Greg Ostertag played off the bench as a backup to Polynice. The Jazz were now the oldest team in the NBA still led by John Stockton and Karl Malone,[5] who were both selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game, which was Stockton's final All-Star appearance.[6] The Jazz got off to a solid 15–7 start, which included a 7-game winning streak, but then lost six straight games between January and February, holding a 29–18 record at the All-Star break.[7] However, they would win nine consecutive games between February and March, and recapture the Midwest Division with a solid 55–27 record,[8] qualifying for the playoffs for the 17th straight season.[9]

Malone averaged 25.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, was named to the All-NBA Second Team, and finished in fourth place in Most Valuable Player voting.[10] In addition, Bryon Russell averaged 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game, while Jeff Hornacek contributed 12.4 points per game, and Stockton provided the team with 12.1 points, 8.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game. Off the bench, sixth man Howard Eisley contributed 8.6 points and 4.2 assists per game, and Ostertag provided with 6.0 rebounds and led the team with 2.1 blocks per game.[11] Hornacek also won both the Three-Point Shootout, and the 2-Ball competition during the All-Star Weekend in Oakland.[12]

In the playoffs, the Jazz defeated the Seattle SuperSonics three games to two in the Western Conference First Round,[13][14][15] but would lose in five games to the Pacific champion Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Semi-finals for the second consecutive year.[16][17] Following the season, Hornacek retired ending his fourteen-year career in the NBA.[18][19] Meanwhile, Gilliam also retired while Eisley was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, and Adam Keefe was dealt to the Golden State Warriors.[20]
