The Sacramento Kings have set to retire the nos. 16 jersey of three-time NBA All-Star and NBA Champion Peja Stojakovic on Dec. 16, 2014, according to league sources.
Stojakovic was arguably one of the best shooters that we have seen in the league, and a lot of teams have had their share of his deadly accuracy beyond the arc. He actually ranks number one in the Kings franchise history in three-pointers made with 1,070 in total. Also, he ranks second in the Kings all-time scoring list with 9,498 points scored.

With all of these achievements in Sacramento, it really isn’t much of surprise to see his jersey hanged up in the rafters together with other big names.
Throughout his entire 14-year career in the league, he averaged 17.0 points and 4.7 rebounds, while shooting 40 percent from the three-point-line.
