<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Before John Stockton and Karl Malone, the Utah Jazz had Adrian Dantley. The Jazz are finally getting around to honoring Dantley -- the team's career leader in scoring average -- 21 years after he was traded from the franchise he helped save. Utah retired Dantley's No. 4 on Wednesday, hanging it from the rafters in an arena that didn't even exist when he was playing here. "He started it all. The other guys all came later," said Frank Layden, Dantley's coach and general manager when he played for the Jazz from 1979-1986. Dantley, now an assistant coach in Denver, was in town Wednesday for the Nuggets' game at Utah. He spoke at a news conference Wednesday afternoon and was to be honored during halftime of the game a few hours later when the giant old-style Jazz jersey with No. 4 was unveiled. </div> <div align="center">Source</div>
