Jeff Hornacek

One of the best ways to stick in the NBA is to find multiple ways to score. In his rookie season, Jeff Hornacek gives the Detroit Pistons defense a preview of what’s to come, first proving to be deadly in open space and converting on a difficult underhanded scoop shot. Then, after a heady Phoenix Suns teammate deflects the ensuing inbound pass, Hornacek strikes again, collecting the loose ball along the baseline and throwing up a prayer while falling out of bounds from behind the basket. The one-time All-Star and two-time Three-Point Contest champion had the crowd on its feet, posting 10 points, four rebounds and two assists off the bench to help the Suns prevail 120-118 on January 26, 1987.
