Looks pretty good to me... though I'd question Stockton at 4 if it wasn't for his .515 shooting percentage and being the leader for assists and steals.
And man, I didn't know Isiah Thomas was so damn skinny. lol

speaking of Jazz players... the one I always liked was Jeff Hornacek. The guy had major work ethic and off the court, was a just plane down to earth family guy. He had a little habbit befor every free throw of running his hand over his brow so many times... it was his way of saying hello to each of his kids.
A few of his career highlights include:
Made 67 consecutive free throws, sixth-longest streak in NBA history, from Nov. 12, 1999 (@ Sac.) to Jan. 6, 2000 (@ Dal.)
Became the 33rd player in NBA history to attempt 2,000 three-pointers when he shot three 3FGs against Atlanta on 2/21/2000
Tied for ninth-best individual shooting performance in Jazz history when he shot 10-for-11 (.909) from the field (5-for-6 3FG) for a season-high 27 points
Won the AT&T Shootout during the 2000 All-Star Weekend
Won the Sony All-Star 2ball (along with Natalie Williams) during the 2000 All-Star Weekend
Led NBA in free-throw shooting percentage at .950 (171-180), and ranked second in three-point field-goal shooting percentage at .478 (66-138) and 18th in field-goal shooting percentage (.492)
Led the Jazz in three-point percentage (.420, 7th in the NBA) and free-throw percentage (.893, 6th)
Played in his 1,000th career game, totaling 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT) and 6 rebounds, in a 99-82 win over the L.A. Clippers on 5/4/99
Notched his 5,000th career assist, registering 9 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds, in an 85-80 win over the Vancouver Grizzlies on 3/26/99
Ranked 2nd in the NBA in 1997-98 in both free-throw percentage (.885) and three-point percentage (.441)
Scored a 1997-98 season-high 31 points (11-16 FG) and added 5 assists against the Portland Trail Blazers on 4/1/98
Sat out against the Sacramento Kings on 3/11/98, ending a streak of 299 consecutive games played, and has missed only three games during his four full seasons with the Jazz
Won the AT&T Shootout, with a three-round score of 48, during the 1998 NBA All-Star Weekend in New York
Appeared in the 1997 and 1998 NBA Finals against the Chicago Bulls
Averaged 15.5 ppg, 3.9 apg and 3.8 rpg and shot .438 from three-point range in 119 career NBA Playoff games
Ranked 2nd in the NBA in 1995-96 in free-throw percentage (.893) and 5th in three-point percentage (.466)
Set Jazz franchise records in 1995-96 with 104 three-pointers and a .466 three-point percentage
Scored the 10,000th point of his NBA career against the San Antonio Spurs on 2/14/95
Tied an NBA record by making 11 consecutive three-pointers without a miss from 12/30/94 to 1/11/95
Set an NBA record by making 8 consecutive three-pointers without a miss, scoring a career-high 40 points, against the Seattle SuperSonics on 11/23/94
Scored 11 points (5-of-7 FG) for the Western Conference in the 1992 NBA All-Star Game in Orlando
Grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds, for the Suns, against the Portland Trail Blazers on 11/2/91
...and remember - the guy WAS A WALK ON. Hornacek was not offered a scholarship at Iowa State but made the squad anyway and became an all-conference player.
No - he's not a top ten...unless you add the category of role model for today's kids... and then, I would put him right up there among the best.

You're right man, and how the hell can you not love a guy when the crowd gets behind him and is just yelling 'horny, horny!' on national tv, hahaha...
