No. Utah Jazz by a long shot.

On the flip side, the New Orleans Jazz may have been one of the best nicknames in all of sport.

I can't understand why the Jazz and Hornets don't switch names. Jazz obviously fits New Orleans. But, Hornets fits Utah equally well.

"Utah Jazz" and "Los Angelos Lakers" are stupid based on the name of the team and the city of the team making no sense together

Nope. Raptors killed just about everybody else. Newman was killed by a Dilophosaurus, "the spitter."
