Open Floor Podcast: Jeff Hornacek on the 90s, playing days, Suns and more

Who is the greatest shooter of all time? What's your best Jerry Sloan story? What was your worst NBA travel experience? Suns head coach Jeff Hornacek answers them all on the Open Floor Podcast. 

In this week's edition of the Open Floor Podcast, Suns coach Jeff Hornacek joins the show to take a stroll down memory lane and discuss some of his best (and worst) memories from his playing days.

Hornacek chats with SI.com's Chris Mannix about playing in the 1990s, his favorite Jerry Sloan story and his worst travel experience as an NBA player. He also talks about how the game has evolved and debates who is the greatest shooter of all time. Later, Hornacek dishes on how Jason Kidd once tried to talk him out of retirement and reveals whether Tom Chambers really could double-pump dunk like he did in NBA Jam.

Later in the show, ESPN.com's Baxter Holmes comes on to discuss D'Angelo Russell's rookie season and the struggles the No. 2 overall pick has been experiencing. He also gives his thoughts on the Lakers' season and the never-ending drama surrounding Kobe Bryant.
