Team owner Ryan Smith revealed the organization’s unique Wi-Fi name while speaking about his Jazz fandom Wednesday during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

“Yeah, during the ‘Last Dance,’ I remember not having enough money to compete,” Smith said when McAfee claimed Smith used to break into the arena to watch the matches. “…There was a lot of talk between Michael Jordan and Jazz fans that year, I remember. Whether it was pizza, getting sick or wanting to go to Vegas, it didn’t matter.
