Hornacek until today is way underrated. Shooters back then didnt have the freedom to shoot as they do now when personal results care more. Now every crap is taking 3s. Horny should be HOF.
I hear you. You make my point for me. Fine for Horny, Price, Reggie to fire 3's regularly (though they didn't really). But today, every Jack and Joe just fire away. It's why a team goes 14 for 25 one night, 5 for 33 the next. I'd MUCH prefer some semblance of consistency.
@@Amick44 All I know is Jeff Hornacek was VERY underrated (and I'm a diehard Celtics fan, so not pushing an agenda when I say HOW good Jeff was as a player). Hubie Brown said it best, "Jeff Hornacek, in his own way, has a nice gait about himself, and he does not try to force the action, he tries to do something solid every time he has the basketball." That pretty much summed up Hornacek as a player. HOFer in my eyes.
@@mikes3827 I admired Jeff Hornacek a great deal. He was a solid option and had an excellent career except for the 76ers which wasn’t his fault. But HOF not even close.
In my humble opinion Jeff Hornacek is the greatest shooter of all time. He was born in a shooter's rhythm. There could be 5 minutes left in a game and he could be 2 for 5 from the field...and could rattle off 5 in a row, no problem. He also had the ability to drive the lane and shoot over much bigger players....just overall underrated.
Had a beauty of a shot. Can't think of a better one. Nash had good percentages but Hornacek's release was just sublime. Chris Mullin's lefty set-shot was nice. Dale Ellis was a stud.
He is certainly in the discussion, at the least. And a good enough all around player to be solid starter. He was no Steve Kerr, Craig Hodges, just a 3 point specialist.
Completely agree. I'm a native Utahn and remember Jeff and the Suns whipping our butts in the playoffs year after year. TBH I hated that guy. When he came to the Jazz I remember how excited everyone was here in Utah. Jeff was a good player for us but yes his best years were with the Suns
@@carlt8188 He was a perfect fit for Utah, but he had to be even more of a playmaker for the Suns, he played a lot of point when Kevin Johnson was out, while also playing 2 guard and 3 man. He was in his prime physically and often carried them. But the Suns were overloaded with finesse players, thus the trade for Barkley who was a perfect fit for the Suns with his great rebounding and toughness, besides being a great offensive player in his own right.
I've I could build a team with 80's 90's greats and unsung great players- Jeff Horneck & Craig Hodges would be on my list! Two of the purest shooters you will ever see! Plus Horneck was an underated great defender!
I saw an exhibition game in Ames, Iowa home of ISU, Hornacek's old school, with the Suns. I remember because Rambis was there too. I walked past the usher with my son while he was flirting wiith a few hotties and we went around the end of the court during warm-ups. I remember thinking how tall even the 'little' players were!
***** 0:35.... " no intimidation with the shot block, and absolutely noone taking away the lane to the basket." Boy howdy would Lebron James surely struggle in this era.....
after 92-93 season majerle faded while hornacek was more consistent all the way thru 99-2000 season also his shooting helped jazz make 2 straight finals
one of the greatest shooters of all time

Mr. Entringer Hornacek was a 3 point shooter
dont forget if you even look at certain guys shooting in the league now they get put on the line, back then it was tougher for shooters

He is/was an excellent shooter. For sure. And a solid, underrated player overall.
The most underrated player in the modern NBA era?
He is certainly in the discussion, at the least. And a good enough all around player to be solid starter. He was no Steve Kerr, Craig Hodges, just a 3 point specialist.
Jeff hornacheck was one of my favorites he is the truth to young kids always practice your jumpshot
Everyone remembers him with the Jazz, but his best years were with the Suns. Anyone who says he wasn't great should watch him with the Suns.

my fav player on the jazz... his accuracy was incredible
I was not a Utah Jazz fun but i always admired and liked Jeff Hornacek and John Stockton..
One of greatest players of all time, in my book.
Not even in just greatest shooter but greatest to ever play period
Very Underrated Player
36 on midrange, layups and free throws and not a single three. Doesn't matter what era, that's super impressive to do.
Soooo skilled!
That was the Suns team that eliminated the heavily favored Lakers in the 2nd round.
Great midrange shooter.
And long range shooter and off balance shooter and .... Hell, the man was simply a great shooter and a fine overall player.
And three pointer!

I'm just here cause he coaching the Knicks glad to see coach could ball a little bit
More than just a baller. He was a bucket killer lmaooo had a smooth jumper
He was amazing against the shaq Kobe lakerts and the sonics.
What an underrated player
Just came here after Kendrick Perkins disrespected the great Jeff Hornacek!
As close to the 50/40/90 club I believe as any. One of the best shooters in NBA history.
GOAT
And Portland was one of the most athletic teams around.. Horny was too good
Horneck was also an excellent defender!
If he was playing this era he could be like curry for sure
especially with the magnetic rim system they use now.
Research it.
js.
No 😂
Beast!
WTF this guy was this good? Crazy.
When he was in the zone, he would kill you
Forgot that Kevin Johnson got hurt this series, that’s why Portland was able to win the series
Wow. Just look at that physical defense. I don't think Lebron can play in this era. He'd cry because this defense is so phyisical.
Real GOAT
Awesome 😎
Oldheads: Steph Curry would struggle in the 90s.
The 90s:
💀💀💀
He looks like Guy Smiley on Sesame Street
Welcome back
Congratulations on that player of the game thing. Too bad your team lost and was eliminated in this game, but hey, I guess stats mean more than a win.
the G.O.A.T
Monster game from the Suns 3rd option.
mhm. but .
He led the Suns in scoring in 91-92 .
Led them in scoring in the playoffs in the 90-91 season' playoffs
I dont know if its just me who visualize hornacek as shaggy from scooby doo
Or John Lennon's brother
Unpretentious style but efficent basketball.
much better shooter than havlicek.
#Undisputable
***** 0:35.... " no intimidation with the shot block, and absolutely noone taking away the lane to the basket." Boy howdy would Lebron James surely struggle in this era.....
The Suns traded him for Barkley, so they could make the Finals
reminds me of Klay Thompson
More 3 point contest wins than Curry
suns should have traded majerle instead of hornacek
Eh, Majerle was a good shooter in his own right but also a much better defender.
after 92-93 season majerle faded while hornacek was more consistent all the way thru 99-2000 season also his shooting helped jazz make 2 straight finals
I would have traded Ceballos and dumas for Drexler during the 92-93 season
Portland eventually traded Drexler for Otis Thorpe they were trying to get younger as phoenix was ready to contend
after the 92-93 season dan majerle fell down his shooting was never the same that is why Houston beat us back to back years
