Not only is Stockton all time career assists leader - with almost 5000 mor assists than the 2nd best (Jason Kidd), but he is all time career steals leader with about 600 more steals than 2nd best (also Kidd). He's the only player with more than 3000 steals.Those are two records that will never be broken. Of note: the assist to Malone for a 10 ft baseline jumper at about the 8:12 mark, was the assist that broke Magic Johnson's career assist record.
Omg i had a john stockton jersey that i would wear (it went down to my ankles) for every game (i live in utah-so got to see quite a few in person-however i was really young so i didnt really understand basketball all the way yet) I remember dribbling the ball outside of the delta center in my jersey with my parents and karl malone came up and started shaking hands but I wouldn’t shake his hand i told him”im only gonna shake stocktons hand” so he actually went back inside and got him to come shake my hand. Being a basketball fan at five had its perks 😂😂😂
Hey man wazzup? I know of you from watching Black Pegasus channel. Thought i would check this out. Im not much of an NBA fan anymore. But i was back when it was guys like Stockton, Malone, Barkley, Bird, Magic, etc...
Awesome video! I'll go with people saying Stockton was the best pure point guard ever. I believe he could have scored a lot more per game if that was his role.
ONE THING YOU HAVE TO REALIZE HERE ==== IS STOCKTON IS. NOT. A. HIGHLIGHTS. FILM. GUY. TO APPRECIATE HIS GAME YOU *HAVE* TO SEE HIS TRANSITION FROM OFFENSE TO DEFENSE TO OFFENSE. . . YOU NEED AN ATLEAST 50 SECOND CLIP TO SEE WHAT MADE STOCKTON . . STOCKTON . . JUST LIKE G PAYTON SAID . . YOU *HAD* TO PLAY 94 FEET OR YOU WOULD GET EMBARRASED. - The sports Guru
Also like Jerry Sloan has said . . there was no one that made the difficult look as easy as Stockton did. But if you ask someone else to do the same exact thing. . they say "thats impossible" .

YYAAASSSS!!! My favorite basket ball player EVER! His assist and steals records will NEVER be broken!
And his durability and longevity is legendary!
Stockton was Outstanding!
The most fundamentally sound point guard. His basketball IQ is incredible! Truly one of a kind.
Some of that Razzle Dazzle
he also had almost 20,000 points as well
Malone said he wouldn't have been Malone without Stockton
Stockton was 51/ 37/83 for his career. He was also 5x All Defense, 9x Assists leader,10x All Star.
Here for you.
DawnP ur the Truth!!!
Here to support you Joe E and always good to watch someone who has skills with his ball(s) .

Would like your take about Dennis Rodman, one of the best defenders + rebounders of all time and member of hall of fame.
