During 15 seasons in the NBA, Adrian Dantley scored 23,177 points, posted an absurd .540 field-goal percentage, and recorded 30-plus points per game for four straight seasons. However, the former Utah Jazz star is somewhat of a forgotten superstar, who never earned the recognition he deserved.

After spending his first three seasons with as many different teams, Dantley quickly established himself as one of the NBA's best players with the Jazz and averaged 30.7 points during the 1980-81 season. The small forward would top 30 for the next three seasons, and he almost did it for a fifth time after averaging 29.8 points in the 1985/86 campaign.

Dantley's scoring impact soon slowed as he hit entered his 30s, although the Utah great finally got some of the recognition he deserved when he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame back in 2008.
