He was the perfect teamate you could ask for. He lifted up and elevated those around him. What is not to like about that. Even in his HOF speech he gave assist to everyone during his speech lol. Dude is the best assister period. I would want him on my team for sure.
The fact that Stockton has 24% more assists than the next closest player tells you the magnitude of his greatness - no other player in history so completely dominates a category like that.
And if you combine his assists and scoring, he was responsible for 51,323 points - 34 points per game - for his career. Big time impact player.
He also had 24% more steals
I watched John play over his entire career. Many times in person, and almost every single game on tv. We'll never know another player like him. I am blessed to have witnessed his contribution to the game of basketball.
It's unfortunate that he and Karl never won a championship. It almost makes me sick just thinking about it.
I like John Stockton, he was basically the only guy in the NBA who looked like me/my dad when I was kid so that gave me some small amount hope. Unfortunately he’s 6’0” (usually listed at 6’1” but you know how that goes lol) like my dad was more or less (dad said he was 5’11.75” so he just went with 6’0” lol) but I was/am 5’9” so that kinda excludes me as a white guy nowadays lol Stockton’s son was listed 5’11” so he was a couple shorter than his dad too and never had anywhere near the career his dad had. But yeah, John Stockton also didn’t travel like most NBA players had started to by the end of his career (coaches like him always called us for travels for during moves like Allen Iverson where our hands got even slightly near being under the ball or holding it let alone doing the kind of shit that has now become permitted far beyond that like the gather-step and jump-step and step-back “nonsense” [honestly I’m just being bitter because it’s harder for me to incorporate them into my game nowadays lol that’s why I’d reach my kids to always make sure you take advantage of the rules as they are currently rather than what Ancient coaches say lol I guess black kids without involved dads having played on the playground without much regard for rules ended up benefiting them over us in this specific case oddly enough lmao that said I’ll follow it up by saying my dad isn’t a MAGA maniac like Stockton is so we do have that distinction despite by statement just now that made it sound otherwise lol I don’t even think Stockton is particularly smart despite having been given that label as white players often are, I mean sure for an NBA player maybe he was smart, but overall not lol, rather he was just very hard-working as conservative types sometimes tend to be and also quite tough as they sometimes tend to be, and he was undoubtedly tough and willing to endure a hell of a lot in the name of hard work so I have to grant that to him, he was also very highly conditioned and then unlike most conservative minded types he was very unselfish on the court, however he understood that his route to selfish interests was by being a “selfless” facilitator, which isn’t world class smart but it’s beyond what most average basketball players are able to reason to haha).
The greatest three attributes a star athlete can have is: consistency, poise, and durability. There was no one in the history of basketball who epitomized all of these traits at the level of John Stockton. And he played both ends of the floor. Now, Magic was a physical freak but if you're asking who the best pure PG is that ever lived? It's Stockton. And this idea that because he didn't win a title he isn't as good as Thomas is absurd. Those Pistons teams had way, way, more overall talent than the Jazz. If you replaced Magic with Stockton or Isaiah with Stockton it's not like he wouldn't have won multiple championships . And there's a 0.0% chance Magic or Thomas would have won a title replacing Stock on Utah.
Consistency, poise and durability is your criteria for a star player. No chance. For a good player yes, great player maybe but a "star". A star needs way more than that my bro.
@@strikingitrich7630
I think I should clarify my comments and I apologize. What I meant to say is assuming the athlete is a star player skill-wise, these are the three most important attributes they can have. It what often distinguishes a great player from a superstar/hof player.
Kareem and Tim Duncan are also both on that same level of sustained excellence.
@@fenzelian You can probably name another 20 players with no championships and consistency, poise and durability.
I felt sorry for Stockton and Malone. If they didn't have MJ to face in their era they would have 2 rings at Utah. Noone is replacing Stockton and winning. Not against MJ and those Bulls. Just pure bad luck timing for Utah in those 2 series. They versed the greatest player of all time on a team he built from the ground up.
Man, loved watching Stockton play!!
John Stockton was an incredible player. The only one I feared against the Bulls. He was fearless and such a gentleman
The Pasty Gangsta was legit!
He wasn’t pasty.
@@malvolio01 I think that's what Jim Rome called him lol
Stockton is proof that you don't need world-class talent to make it far in life.
You do need SOME talent, which almost everyone has, but then you need to sharpen that skill into a MASTERPIECE. If you have an ability for something, ANYTHING, and you spend 10,000 hours REALLY going after it, people will stop and watch you no matter WHAT IT IS.
He had world class talent. What you meant to say is athleticism.
@@malvolio01 Stockton also had extremely good athleticism. I just think using Stockton as an example for not having world class talent is a poor example. He was the 16th overall pick in the draft.
@@malvolio01 Lol you're BOTH wrong. He had incredible gifts AND incredible athleticism on top of his work ethic. Giant hands. A resting heat rate of 35 bpm! Insanely quick. MJ himself could not stay in front of him. Got crossed bad several times. Worse than Iverson. Early career Stockton was as fast as it gets any era
@@steveguse4481 I totally agree
what idiotic statement is this? He obviously had world class talent. what the fuck? lol
In a mini Van
Like an undercover assassin
Stockton is 1 in assists by 2000****** more than 2nd place - and 1 in steals by 600**** more than 2nd place... he leads the nba in 2 major categories all time.
That 84' draft pretty much owns most of the all time top 10 in steals, blocks, and assists
It’s funny because Lebron fans think this era was filled with a bunch of stiffs that couldn’t play and Jordan just dominated a bunch of losers
@@954roof 3 of the 4 players that have recorded a quadruple double were drafted in 84' and 90' lol most of the all time blocks leaders all played thru the 80's and 90's and 4 of the all time top 10 steals leaders were drafted in 84'
Lebron eill have the most records in the NBA by the time his career is done and in my opinion he will still be a distant second from Jordan.
@@strikingitrich7630 that’s a good point for sure and I agree with you. The point I was making is that people write off John Stockton - I have no problem with magic, pistol Pete, isiah, or even steph being ranked higher than him as far as point guards go if that’s someone’s take on it but John is an absolute legend and I think when it comes to that unbreakable mindset he’s up there with the best ever and when it comes to doing his job in the court I think he’s as good as anyone who ever did it
It's the underdog that Aries to the occasion every time the athlete who takes the worse beaten but goes the distance win lose or draw John Stockton so symbolized and represented that to the fullest wh makes him all the more a humbled sensational person and athlete.
and 2:03 to those of yall rooks who dont know . . that bouncing high pass to Malone . . is exactly what he called for.
Malone used to want a bounce pass that was very high because he prefered to bat it down from that high position to do his move . That is exactly how Malone wanted it in that position . . so yea that was just what Malone was wanting .
Imagine reaching 10k assist in the NBA only to realise you need another 4-5k assist to pass Stockton lol
He was all around tough, never get's injured, can score and pass, gritty defender...sometimes dirty... pure PG.
and no where near as good as Steph Curry lmfao
Stockton can play in any era. The same couldn't be said about Curry. The rule changes helped soft players like Curry become stars
He would’ve been even better now with all them weak ass fouls lol he going to line all night
@@islandfantasy5931 curry would've adapt he wouldn't have a choice
If curry was in that era he would've been playing more physical because that was a physical era
I never heard anyone call Stockton a dirty player until watching this. Coming from Steve Kerr; that was very surprising.
Well it was common knowledge back then
They weren't really dirty, but Stockton and Malone would knock the shit out of players on screens, bumps, etc.
Dirty af
Man the jersey website is amazing, got me a Bird jersey, great video.
haha. This guy just copies videos from other channels. Can't you do your own videos?
Literally everything
I know more players on that Utah Jazz team than I do the current Detroit Pistons team. Malone, Ostertag, Stockton come to mind..
I think Griffin is still on the team. 🤔
give some respect to hornacek
@@Forever_Soul I knew I was forgetting some one, ol Jeff!
Easily the best PG of all time
But they almost bury Max Kellerman when he suggested that Stockton was as good as Isaac Thomas 🤔
Been watching since the early 90's 91 to be exact...to me johns the best pg of all time. He is the definition of a point guard. Then when he use to shot i counted it before it dropped! Incredible
Because Stockton isn't as good as Isiah Thomas. Stockton benefited from having arguably a top 5 power forward. And he couldn't win a championship against Jordan. While Isiah Thomas tortured Jordan in 80s to the point where Jordan to this day still hates him for abusing him. Stockton is a great pg but no let's be real in he wasn't even the best player on his own team.
3:58 Kareem has a 1 foot height on Stockton
and completely clueless.
How many rings does Stockton have?
He has a wedding ring.
Doesn’t matter if you’re looking at individual player. Someone like isiah Thomas may have a better overall career than Stockton, but if we’re talking individual player skill-wise, I take Stockton over everyone but curry and magic.
@@gnbgffgcd3902 you just exposed your own ignorance.
@@ghiesibug5882 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How many all stars and HOF players did Stockton play with? 1. The other greats had 3 to 5 at least.
Super sad that the 2nd best PG ever didn't get a chip.
Funny how Stockton and Bird were SOOOO dirty, yet everyone forgets and demonizes Laimbeer and Thomas, while when Bird and Stockton did it, somehow it wasn't so bad. I hate people. They are so damn tribally partial, they give passes to the exact same behavior they condemn people for that they do not like. Hype over truth, opinion vs history, MARKETING defining reality. We are doomed. The fact is, Bird and Stockton were not saints, and Laimbeer and Thomas were not the devil. Media and competitor exaggerations, eaten up by fanboys who care not for truth. Welcome to America, 2021.
i grew up watching the nba since 82 , but "Magic" is talking trash about Stockton being better that Curry ....
because he needs to make a case "against Curry" , why? , Curry is better than Magic & Stockton , if Magic said Curry is under Stockton , ppl will automatically think of "magic" as unreachable its all about mind games
We all loved John Stockton; that is undeniable. But, the question was "Who is the best point guard of all-time?" John Stockton is definitely in the conversation. However, what are you going to do about Oscar Robertson? Assists are great; ask Carl Malone about that. But, Oscar averaged a triple double for his CAREER! That stat is absolutely ridiculous! I will go so far as to say that if there was NO Oscar Robertson then, there would be no NBA, as we know it, today! Because you are not old enough to have seen Oscar or Wilt play, complain to your parents, not to basketball historians.
Don't you think Stockton would've dominated Oscar's era?! He did play against absolute greatness in the prime of the NBA
Oscar average a triple double for one season, and got close to one for a stretch of about five years-- although not his whole career. Oscar is definitely an all time great. Honestly though, no one went out looking for Triple Doubles like that until LeBron came along and the media was trying to figure out a way to argue James was better than Jordan. Couldn't do it with titles, scoring, clutch ability, etc., but Lebron was better at the T-D, so everyone hyped him up and pointed to the Big O. I mean Westbrook did it for THREE seasons, and no one thinks he's close to being the best ever. Not taking anything away from the man, I just think he was missing something when it came to being a perfect PG.
Calling Steph the 2nd GOAT PG is disrespectful to the game.
No, Stockton was fucking overrated...stop glorifying the past too much STEPH is literally a threat once he steps in the half court line.
Id rather have stockton as a pg to build a team with
Yeah he actually passes unlike currently they don’t pass as much
Johnny Stocks was a ninja on the court. Same cloth as MJ if you ask me. Super competitor.
Stockton was good but not as MJ 🧢
Same cloth as MJ?! Child please
That 84' draft is the greatest of all time
@@jeffsamuels2539 yes he is, every star from that 84' was special
Same cloth as Jordan. Just say No ! Isaiah should have been on the dream team. Not Stockton. Y’all are confused or didn’t watch ball back then.
John Stockton is a great playmaker and a great hustler. He is incomparable to Steph Curry. Steph is the greatest sharpshooter in today's NBA.
He hasn't even taken half of Jordan's shots yet and he's almost played as many games
Stockton was a beast. Another HOF that Jordan stopped from winning rings. Jordan is the best and worst thing that happened to the league. There were so many players I wish got a championship but Jordan said no. Charles barkley is one 😭
Jordan wasn't the only person running the league lol he wasn't in the finals every year
@@skettinbutter3635 jordan was running the league dude !!!!!!!
@@skettinbutter3635 he went 6 times. That's 6 years. And never lost. Remember these guys are athletes, if Jordan's blocking your way at 23-29 your biggest prime years, it's gonna be tough to win before or after.
@@ReynosoCali he had others on his team. Wasn't just jordan. Yall need to realize it's a team sport. Guys like Larry bird and Isiah Thomas beat the fuck out of jordan when he didn't have guys like scottie and Rodman on his team. Just saying yall gotta give respect to everyone else because jordan and I had the same amount of playoff success before those guys
@@ReynosoCali and games are played before.the finals. Lol so there were many teams he didn't make it there to begin with
Good. I wait for love from you 💝💖
Best PG of all time. No debate!
One way to settle this , how many pgs who played in league/ still do that u would pick over him ?🤔a good amount tbh lol
I'd take a prime Stockton over any other PG ever to play the position. Too many of the other people on the list of potentials are primadonnas and ballhogs. Stockton always looked for the "right" play, not the one that would make him look the best.
@@c.w.9501 feel u , but still I would rather chose a pg who can drop 35 plus if he had to cuz it opens up a lot of assist when u have to focus on stoping a guard a play help defense. But a scoring mind set as a pg is toxic if he’s not a overall smart decision maker
Im no good on news but lately I see a lot of videos about the greatness of John Stockton. I mean, he totally deserves but, did something happen to him??
no, he is alive and well.
John still lives in Spokane, Washington.
John Stockton Is Definitely A Straight Up Beast Fa'Reals...
If he had a left hand, he would've annihilated the nba. Still the best PG to ever do it
he is left and right on handling and shooting
If Stockton had pippen rodman kukoc harper longley and kerr he wudda won many championships too
malone was better than all them players you named... ostertag was way better than longley and hornacek was better than kukoc

@@footballbabybaby lol bruh 2k?? u gotta be a kid if u going by 2k ratings... the jazz actually got to the finals 2 years in a row so they had a deep team
Stockton was definitely a great PG. But to say he was greater than Curry or that he was the 2nd best point ever y'all need to just put the pipe down bcuz you're obviously smokin rocks. Yes he was great but everybody know he couldn't carry Isaiah Thomas shoe laces.
Curry is a great player but the problem is he don't have that signature playoff moment and he never won a finals MVP.
People always want to compare the generations based on their standards. This is a run and shot 3 point league now. Very few bulky big guys exist. Howard is a big guy but athletic as hell. This isn’t the league for the Rick Mahorn’s and Karl Marlones. Their knees would be shot within 5 years.
That's silly. Many teams played a fast paced offense in the 90's, but the bigs slowed the tempo with solid defense. Karl Malone was bigger and stronger than LeBron and never once has he ever even thought about management lol everything about today's NBA is garbage
They called Malone the iron man for not messing any games for over a decade
@@mandodelossantos2 You just said that it was fast pace but the big slowed it down.
@@mandodelossantos2You need to really do your research. A casual fan can see that the game is way more faster than back in the 80s or 90s. The game was built around centers. In the 2000s Dirk and Garnett changed the game. You had tall guys who could hit 3s and run. Don’t embarrass yourself by comparing Lebron to Malone. Lebron is a 6’9” gazelle. And why are you doing a 1 to 1 comparison with Lebron and Malone anyways 2 different plays, skill sets and positions.....geeesh.
@@geedee445 well let's see, 4 of the all time steals leaders are from the 84' draft, 3 of the 4 players in history to record a quadruple double were drafted in 84' and 90', 4 of the top 10 all time steals leaders were drafted in 84', the all time assists, steals and blocks leaders were drafted in 84', the only 2 players to ever win MVP and DPOY in the same season were drafted in 84'(before last years weak season), the player to win MVP, DPOY, Finals MVP and the ring was drafted in 84', the two greatest playoff runs in history happened in 94' and 95'!! Just to give you an idea of how much greater the 80's and 90's were, Olajuwon has more career steals than Iverson, Isaiah, Kobe and LeBron while still being #1 all time in blocks lol
Stop it. Curry 10 times better
10 times lmfaooooooo
Curry doesn't even lead his own team in assists. He's just a shooting guard that can't play defense.
Magic please stop your kissing-up brother! John Stockton was a great player indeed, but, better than Curry, I don't think so! Maybe Curry can give Stockton and Malone one of his championships! Lol!!! Where do you guys come up with this BS?
Shooting isnt everything. Curry cant do anything but shoot.
@@ProtectoroftheRealm 🤫🤫🤫🤫
Curry couldn’t survive in that era.
Curry has done absolutely nothing nothing without a stacked team and the refs allowing them to set moving screens
I'll take Stockton over Curry any day!
his last 15 seasons he didnt miss one daaam game thats TUFF cuz
Yeah Gary Payton remember him best John stockton would give you 25/10/5, an that if you make mistakes then he would take advantage of you cool story they say he would go to the games in his family van nothing flashy an the only time you might catch a quick smile other than that he was all business on tbe court
He missed some in 97/98
@@errezmardi506 not what the stats say brodie started every game
He missed 22 games his entire career.
I watched Stockton once when he was in college (Gonzaga). He was driving on a 1-on-1 breakaway and my Dad says, "watch this - he'll score" and Stockton does this really intelligent move to score on the defender. This was one of his great attributes, which you see in the video here. He knew how to control his body and the space between himself and the defender, and get the ball into the hoop in the most efficient way. Too bad he didn't get to play with Larry Bird - that would have been an unbelievable pair.
Not to mention he was strong as an ox
mandodelossantos2 Strong? Why do you say that?
@@bobross4616 I don't know if strong is the proper word here, but Stockton didn't missed a game in 15 years. Played all season games for that time.
@@jorgeluiz07 nah he was strong! Look at his legs. And his arms. 💪🏾
Yea . . i watched all his 90s games . . and nowdays you will hear alot of bigmen complaining about him . . and the sellout types trying to claim he was dirty (usually those were dirty instead theirself) . . but i watched the games so i know . . they were just simply frustrated that a little dude was setting LEGAL legit picks that took them out of the action.
Yea he was certainly strong.
I watch Stockton highlights every time I need inspiration on passing more
And kids have the nerve to say "he's so overrated", it seem like a common theme nowadays
Just to many echo chambers
@@kevinkohoutek995 what?
@@clydetheglidetop5sgtop10du7 I just feel you get 1 person who says something . 1 kid believes it , tells all there friends and now they all repeat what that person says .
Example the house of hoops RUclips channel did a podcasts , all of them are really young .
And they all said they never saw manu play when he had hair .
Your getting kids who have never seen Stockton , magic , Mark price . Zeke play . And then saying stuff like they could never play in the league today .
The echo chamber is where they only talk to people who agree with them
@@kevinkohoutek995 I think him avg. less than 14 points a game (as well as being white lol) has something to do with it, he was the perfect example of a PURE PG
“Overrated” and “literally” are the most misused words on social media
LeBalco James, the king of excuses and zero accountability.
Gets teammates traded and coaches fired.
Pays media to slander Michael Jordan and Kobe.
Curry shouldn’t even be mentioned with Stockton. Can’t pass or play defense even close to as well and those are the best measures of a PG
That's what's wrong with the NBA now. Everybody thinks that hero ball is the way you win but they don't seem to notice that everybody is trying to build a super team
The pick n roll with Stockton and Malone was a beautiful thing to witness. John was a tough SOB! The only thing Curry has over John is shooting 3s. I don't think Curry could average 23 points in that era.
@@islandfantasy5931 the other thing is court vision. Every testimonial on Stockton is that it seems like he saw the whole court at once and anticipated where guys were going to be. You kind of HAVE to believe it with 15,000+ assists backing it up
MJ and Pippen are like THE duo, right? But malone and stockton were a venomous duo too!
Stockton + Malone on the pick and roll was automatic for almost their entire career, you couldn't bet against it
Stockton and Karl deserved a championship. Shame they never had got one.

The toughest
The dirtiest
The nastiest
The most respectful point guard in NBA’s history John The Legend Stockton of Utah Jazz
👍👍🙏🙏🙏👍👍.
The toughest players or team is the pistons in the 80s the dirtiest players are Ron artest etc. Iverson took the most hits driving in the paint and he was small he kept coming back he had heart
He definitely put his stamp on the game on how to be a pure point guard,all star, gold medalist,an Hall of famer,an Mr no smile all focus
You can’t compare players of the 80’s/90’s to today’s players. Because players of the 80’s/90’s had to actually play against real defense and defend themselves. That alone is the only argument you need about who was better than who.
@Ryan Bino you obviously never heard of Glenn Rice, Dale Ellis, Mark Price, Tim Legler, Abdul Rauf. Lmao actual athleticism?! So you think Jordan hanging in the air for a few seconds, Barkley and Malone flying down the court, Olajuwon blocking 3p shots is not real athleticism?!? You kids just flat out don't know basketball
Ya this is such a stupid argument. Larry bird is my favorite player of all time, and I love 80s basketball. But to say they played real defense back then and they don’t play real defense nowadays, it just shows how ignorant you are and shows that you don’t watch basketball
@@monsterswolr lmao all the top 10 leading steals leaders and shot blockers come from the 80's and 90's, you obviously didn't watch basketball back then. The defense today is garbage
@@monsterswolr Because the rules today make it more easier to score?
@@mandodelossantos2 basketball is one sport where players are getting worse huh? Players are regressing instead of progressing huh? Measuring defense by only steals and blocks? There are many advanced stats that do much better job when it comes to measuring how good the defense is.
Players nowadays are far much better shooters than on average. It’s much harder for defense to guard these players since they have to cover so much more ground. Players have not gotten worse on defense. Have the rules on how hard you can guard them change? Yes. But don’t put that on players and say they are worse on defense cuz of that. That’s because the rules changed. Players are getting better on average and progressing
Fact is he could have scored more and he did when Malone was in foul trouble or out. He played on a defensive team for a defensive minded coach. He would pass the ball at the right time to the right person. Got to see his entire career in either person or on TV. Those who think this guard or that guard would drop 40 on him are kidding themselves.
how many rings would Stockton have if he played for the Lakers his entire career? at least 3 or more in the 80's then in the late 90's early 00's Shaq, Kobe and Stockton at least 3 more how many would Magic or Zeke have if they played for the Jazz?
When people say Steve Nash is as good, I just laugh, and I love Steve Nash. Stockton was a beast. A bad dude, don't let the boyish looks fool you.
John Stockton:
Missed 22 games in 19 seasons
Played in the 1992 Olympic Dream Team with a broken leg
NBA active assists and steals leader
The thing you gotta understand about stockton is he played in the west when it was the toughest fuckin division, it wasn’t like today like he had to battle his entire career and still dominated
David Robinson, Kemp, Payton, Detlef Shrempf, Mitch Richmond, Tim Hardaway, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf, Mutumbo, Barkley, Kevin Johnson, Drexler, Magic, Worthy, Olajuwon, etc etc. The toughest conference in the toughest era
@@mandodelossantos2 easily and stockton battled them all. He is one of the toughest players to ever play and easily the most talented, man it’s a pleasure watching his highlights and the way he played
anyone who watched basketball from the 80s to the 90s know the east was the toughest conference to win.
you do better coming out the West than the East.
@@Rambo20244 the eastern conference was the weakest conference from the 90's all the way up until now. Jordan played in the weakest conference of that time.
@@Rambo20244 the west was stacked there’s a reason stockton had to battle to get to the championships he had his hands full
I think players will always stick to their generation..
Thanks To MJ !! No chips for John Stockton
Unless you are a Jazzfanz you just don’t know how damn good he was. As good a shooter as he was I think he’s underrated in most circles
John Stockton set the best pics in the NBA. That Utah team didn't overwhelm you with athleticism, but their physicality was second to none. Teams hated playing Utah because they would be soar as hell days later. As a gambler, there was a trend if you bet against a team that just played Utah you would win like 75% of the time, because that team was physically beat down. Utah would run you through multiple pics, staggered screens, they hit you on box outs, & was up in your grill on defense all the time. Stockton started the offense on the wing free throw line extended every time
It’s too bad he gets disrespected because he looks like JJ barea
Highly skilled and relentless. He did what everyone in all walks should do but most don't. Work ethic matters.

@@juicelord4792 Stockton is above Payton AND Kidd. Steph is a better player probably, but is he really even a PG? He hasn't even led his own team in assists in years-- that's almost always Draymond, and he can't play defense like Stockton either. Steph is more like a soft ass shooting guard.
Magic is so overrated john is way better
The mini van tho
How many ring he got??
Well you see, there was this guy named Michael Jordan... you may have heard of him. But for Michael, that number would be 2.
Stockton is a legend, but Curry is a legend with a bag of chips 😏👍✨ ... 💦SPLASH!💦
If you take stock an the Utah team an matched up with today's with Curry's team first championships team they might get they feeling hurt but with KD they might pull it out that Utah team had back to back year's but loss to the bull's they were pretty good tho
@@reubenjones1778 The 90’s Bulls were the unclimbable brick wall to the chip factory for the 90’s Jazz 😅
@@KiwiKoNZ they got eliminated by many other teams dude stop with the nonsensical Jordan/Bulls d riding
curry had easy final trips
Erasing community guidelines comments is so silly, too silly. I won't be watching LQG videos anymore.
Stockton was so good I hate the Jazz for life.
Clutch City baby
Why tho? Rockets actually beat them twice in the championship runs
I used to be the biggest Curry hater but at this point it’s clear that he shut his critics up in spectacular fashion. Stockton is one probably the second best pg of all time, but Curry transcends any position. He has changed the way the game is played.
Top 3 period
Whoa there cowboy
@@jeffsamuels2539 I like the Eagles we fly high and i guess because he doesn't have a chip it matters but he went back to back and he leads the NBA in steals and assist
@@8hypebest pure PG in history tho
Stockton only a better passer than curry everything else curry is better
stockton was just as great in shooting... whether it was 3 pointers or 2 pointers... plus stockton was way more efficient than curry... and don't passing and assist make a true pg?
@@Rambo20244 overall curry is a better all around player he's more versatile stockton is more limited
@@Rambo20244 CURRY IS THE BEST SHOOTER ALL TIME
@@SHOTBYCC_ keep dreaming
miller stockton and price was better shooters than curry
1. Magic
2.Curry
3.Stockton
No doubt John was good. No doubt. But he ain’t steph curry
@Tammy T I’m sure Steph would agree to that, he’s so humble. Steph would prolly say Mark price or John paxon was better than him lmao
@Tammy T and your point? Literally didn’t say anything abt my argument lmao
@Tammy T honestly ‘weakest era ever’ kinda sums up your lack of knowledge lmao. Sorry if u feel offended, but stop embarrassing yourself
I some of what this guy's on. Curry a better shooter, Stockton is better at everything else.
Best ability is availability, Steph always hurt
The only reason Stockton and Malone never got a ring was bc of MJ.
For me John is top 5 pg all time , if he won a ring he be top 3 for me .
1- magic
2- big O
3- zeke
4- Nash
5- Stockton
6- Cousy
7- steph
8- kidd
9- Payton
10- Dennis Johnson
11- cp3
Stockton had 5 statistical seasons better than Nash's 2 MVP seasons, just saying
@@mandodelossantos2 so for me Nash is clearly the best player on the team .
Marion and amare get better because of Nash .
Also Nash goes for the big shots almost every time .
Stockton and Malone literally split number 1 option duties .
To be honest if you switched them I wouldn’t say anything but I feel Nash was the clear cut number 1.
@@kevinkohoutek995 i like Nash too, I'm just illustrating how great Stockton was
When Magic Jonhson said Jonh Stockton was batter than Stephen Curry??? Why you keeping doing that??? I give up... I'll just stop to watch your videos...
Obviously you’ve only watched and studied ball for less than 10 years. You think you know ball better than Magic? Lol
Steph Curry… overrated and plays in a weak league. Stockton… underrated and played in the golden era of basketball.
Your mom played in a very tough era and was criminally overrated

Please, John Stockton wasn’t even better than Dell Curry!
13:43 I love that. Do you love me? 😍💋 💝💖❤️
