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. During the offseason, the Jazz signed free agent Olden Polynice, then later on signed Armen Gilliam in January. The Jazz were now the oldest team in the NBA still led by John Stockton and Karl Malone, who were both selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game. 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. However, they would win nine consecutive games between February and March, and recapture the Midwest Division with a solid 55–27 record, qualifying for the playoffs for the 17th straight season. Malone averaged 25.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team. Bryon Russell finished second on the team in scoring averaging 14.1 points per game, while Stockton provided them with 12.1 points, 8.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
