THE JOHN STOCKTON APPRECIATION POST!!!!!!!!!!

[mister friendly]

John Stockton

6'1 170

Played 19 seasons for the Utah Jazz.

The All time NBA leader in assists( 5,483 ahead the next person on the list) and steals.(30 percent of the next person on the list)

11 time All NBA selection (1993 All Star Game MVP)
10 time NBA All Star
5 time All NBA defensive team

Named one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players

2 time Olympic Gold Medalist

One stat that is fairly amazing to me is his .515 FG pct

the onlybackcourt guys who played in the era with a 3 point shoot with better pct are Mo Cheeks and Magic Johnson.( But the 3 point shot was never part of Mo Cheeksgame)


He may be not be most loved point guard ever by in my opinion he's the 2nd best point guard of all time that I've seen.( Behing Magic,I never seen theBig O and #$%% Isiah)

Hated the dude and his short shorts, but I gotta give respect when it's due. Props.

 

[fede dpt]

One of the most underrated hoopers of all time in my opinion.

 

[kdawg]

His shooting is so under-rated - that FG stat is just incredible over so long a career.

 

[the yes guy]

He probably looks less like a basketball player than any other Hall of Famer. Appreciated.

 

[tmoney85]

he invented playing DIRTY! watch him carefully and you'll see that he makes Bruce Bowen look like Mother Teresa

 

[calibeebee]

one of the greatest to ever play the game. much appreciated

 

[enlightened thought]

my personal favorite point guard ever.

the fact that that lil frame played 19 years and shot at 51 and dished out that many assists and got that many steals is just sick.

 

[sir rob a lot]

There's a dude that looks just like Stock and Hoops like him too at my local Y.

I hated Stock when they beat my Lakers during my childhood.

Dude knew the dirty tricks of the trade

His assist numbers though were ABSURD. Nine seasons in a row leading the NBA in APG:

13.8
13.6
14.5
14.2
13.7
12.0
12.6
12.3
11.2


My other favorite Stockton stats:

He played in every game for 17 of his 19 seasons
His teams made the playoffs 19 of his 19 seasons

[three6mafia2007]

I'd say Magic 1a and Stockton 1b (If only he got a ring).

 

[i nasmatic i]

Hated this dirty %%%!**#+*!$+, but I respected his game and what he accomplished on the court.

 

[pusha x vinsanity]

**$$ John Stockton.

Can't believe I share a birthday with this dude...

 

[theyoungestgun]

he was better than magic, cause magic didnt play on both ends of the floor like stockton did. he is #1 in steals in the history of the league.. he was alsovery durable.. well deserved HOF'er

 

[pdm 87]

[fraij da 5 11]

The only time that was ever seen was during post-game locker room interviews.

Sorry, but it's more like Magic 1, Isiah 2a and Stockton 2b.. I like Stockton, but Magic is hands down the best PG ever. Other than SG, no other positionin NBA history has a dead certain GOAT as PG (Magic).

 

[tcerda]

Best PURE point guard of all-time. Ok!!!! At least Top 3. Not the tallest, not the quickest, Couldn't jump, and a slight above avg. shooter, but still gotthe job done night in and night out. Appreciated!!!!
