Jeff Hornacek was digging through some old files recently when he came across a copy of a note he sent to Suns Chairman Jerry Colangelo when he was a rookie.

"It said that I'd be starting by a certain number of years, and we'd be in the playoffs and by the sixth year, we'd be playing for a championship," Hornacek said.

Even in his best-laid plans, Hornacek never imagined seeing his No. 14 jersey rise to the rafters.

Especially in Utah instead of Phoenix.
