It could have happened that way, according to former coach, general manager and president Frank Layden, if Adrian Dantley had not spent seven of his 15 NBA seasons in Utah.
"He played such an important role in those early years of the Jazz," Layden said. "If not for him, maybe we aren't still here, in Salt Lake City."
On Friday night, Dantley joins the greatest players, coaches and contributors in the history of the game when he is inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as part of a star-studded class that includes Miami Heat president Pat Riley, former New York Knicks great Patrick Ewing and ex-Houston Rockets star Hakeem Olajuwon.
