The Jazz announced Tuesday that the club will retire John Stockton's No. 12 on November 22, 2004, when Utah hosts the New Orleans Hornets.
Stockton, who spent his entire 19-year career with the Jazz, is the NBA's all- time leader in assists (15,806) and steals (3,265). He was also named as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history.
"We are excited to honor John in this special way," said team owner Larry H. Miller. "After spending his entire 19 year career with the franchise, John's incredible athleticism deserves to be memorialized. "We look forward to hosting him and his family on November 22nd, the evening will certainly be memorable."
