"He never complained." That comment says so much about Stockton. He was getting clothes-lined with elbows on picks and he never complained. Today's NBA is crying to the refs every time they get touched.

Stockton was always in great shape and was never out hurt. Took care of himself. Magic is only considered better because he was much more flashy and he played on much stronger teams than Stockton so he won championships. Stockton is the best PG ever.

@morecowbell235 10 ай бұрын

A lot of greats have a mentor or two that helped them grow and get better. I wonder who that was for Stockton? He wasn't the starting PG at Utah until his 4th year. Makes me think maybe Rickey Green (who was an all star and the NBA leader in steals in 1984) helped Stockton develop, handle the rock, learn how to steal etc.

Interesting thought. The career averages per season would be even higher for Stockton if he didn't have bench minutes his first few years and then playing until 40 years of age against great athletes at the PG position. The NBA Finals years saw Stockton in his mid thirties when the Jazz finally assembled more pieces around Stockton and Malone. Go back and look at Stockton's prime season averages in 1987, 1988 & 1989. It's too bad the Jazz didn't have the right role players. Stockton averaged right around 17 Points and 14 Assists during those 3 years.

Thomas had to open up that old wound @4:40 lol. Sorry Thomas, no one was late on the switch. Only reason Stock was so wide open was that Malone *grabbed Drexler and wouldn't let go* and it wasn't called. Malone admitted to this years later in an interview. Said that in the huddle he said he was going to grab hold and not let go because the refs weren't going to call it.

The Pistons won 2 Championships and really could have had 2 more. The "steal by Bird" won Game 5 when the series was tied 2-2. If the Pistons went Home to Detroit up 3-2 then the Pistons likely head to the Finals for their first time. They made the Finals the next year and lost to the Lakers when Isaiah had a badly sprained ankle. He was heroic in Game 6 but he was too hammered in game 7. But even still, Kareem was rewarded a phantom foul called on Laimbeer in the closing seconds. Of course the Pistons won back to back Titles after that.

@scott.moresh7 Жыл бұрын

Loved Stockton, but I think people forget about Oscar Robertson and Jerry West as PGs. I'd put John as the 4th greatest true PG of player's retired , (after Magic and those previous 2 I mentioned).
