May 3, 1963 - Jeff Hornacek is born in Elmhurst, Illinois. Happy 51st Birthday Jeff Hornacek! He was the 22nd pick in the second round (46th overall) of the 1986 NBA Draft, by the Phoenix Suns. After his sixth and most productive season in 1991–92 in which he led the Suns in scoring average (20.1 ppg) and earned an All-Star appearance, Hornacek was traded (along with Andrew Lang and Tim Perry) to the Philadelphia 76ers for Charles Barkley. Midway through the 1993–94 season (February 24) he was traded to the Utah Jazz (for Jeff Malone) where he could return to his natural shooting guard position alongside John Stockton. Like in Phoenix, Hornacek was a perfect complementary "third option" to Karl Malone and Stockton. Hornacek was also one of the best on offense in the NBA in moving without the ball, something essential for a shooting guard. He was an instrumental part of the Jazz's drive to the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998, where the Jazz lost to the Chicago Bulls both times. He remained with the Jazz until knee problems forced his retirement in 2000. One of the best free throw shooters in the league, once making 67 in a row (November 12, 1999 – January 6, 2000), one of his most well-known mannerisms was stroking the side of his face three times before every free-throw attempt. That was his way of saying hello to his three children during the game. He holds a career free throw percentage of 87.7, 13th highest in NBA history. #JesusIsComing #JesusSaves #TeamJesus #JeffHornacek #IowaStateUniversity #Suns #PhoenixSuns #JohnStockton #UtahJazz #KarlMalone #SLC #SaltLakeCity #GordonHayward #TreyBurke #Solecollector #Maranatha #116 #WLAK #John316 #Misfits2 #CombOver #NBA #FIBA #BBALL #ChristIsKing #EndTimes #WakeUp #YHWH #ReignIsComing #PraiseChrist by thisdayinhoops
