Keith Adam Van Horn (born October 23, 1975, in Fullerton, California) is a retired American professional basketball player. Van Horn graduated from Diamond Bar High School and played for the University of Utah. He was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the second pick in the 1997 NBA Draft.
Van Horn has been a member of the New Jersey Nets (twice), the Philadelphia 76ers, the New York Knicks, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Dallas Mavericks. His best season as a pro came in his 2nd year in the league, when he put up a career high 21.8 scoring average as well as 8.5 rebounds per game. In his career, he was part of two runner-up teams, the 2002 Nets and the 2006 Mavs. Following that season, he took a year off, in order to spend time with his family. In February of 2008, Van Horn signed a three-year deal with the Mavericks with only the first year guaranteed. That first year would earn him 4.3 million for less than half a season of work. Van Horn was immediately traded to the Nets, part of a blockbuster trade for Jason Kidd. However, it is highly unlikely that Van Horn will get any playing time, as his involvement in the trade was purely for financial reasons.
Among Van Horn's most notable collegiate accomplishments are being the first player in the Western Athletic Conference to be named Player of the Year three times (1995, 1996, 1997), being the second player in WAC history to make first-team all-WAC four years, and being the leading career scorer in Utah and WAC history with 2,542 points. In February 2008, he was among 16 players named to the University of Utah's "All-Century" basketball team.
