About Adrian Dantley, Hall of Famer

Adrian Dantley was a prolific scorer who spent 15 seasons in the NBA after being drafted sixth overall by the Buffalo Braves in 1976. The small forward, who actually played much of his game in the low post, became a six-time All-Star and two-time scoring champion. Dantley spent his most dominant years with the Utah Jazz, where he averaged over 30 points per game from 1981 to 1984 and was named Comeback Player of the Year in 1984. He also played for the Lakers, Pacers, Pistons, Mavericks, and Bucks. Finishing ninth on the all-time scoring list, Dantley was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2008 and later worked as an assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets.

Did you know? Dantley wore custom-made shoe inserts to compensate for a nearly 2-inch difference in leg length between his two legs.
