The passes are dope. But note how this dude realizes the job is done with each bucket, and then busts his ass to get back on D EACH time. Cared about WINNING and playing hard. Nothing else mattered. What a legend.
The Jazz in '88 & '89 would be considered a superteam nowadays. Stockton dominating in assists & steals, Malone among the top scorers & rebounders, and Eaton making a case as the greatest shot blocker of all time while earning his 2nd DPOY award. But the level of competition was just too great back then.
They had trash depth. On offense, they had Stockton and Malone. That was about it. On defense they had Eaton, Malone and Stockton. And Eaton was player that could be exploited under the pre-zone rules. That's what Don Nelson did to upset Utah. In that series Malone averaged 30, Stockton averaged 28 and 15, and Utah basically got nothing else out of their roster. Wipeout. The 90s version was much better, particularly on depth and with the acquisition of Hornacek.
There's a misconception that Stockton is only the all-time leader in assists because of a longer career than other prospects. Most people are unaware of the fact that he holds several single season records in that category with less turnovers per game than famous passers like Magic. His career apg only decreased due to playing less minutes at an older age.
Shiranui Aensland he also broke the assist record 8 years before he even retired, he could of retired 4 or 5 years earlier and still have the record to this day. Plus he’s the all time steals leader. There’s many stats he’s number #1 in. So I absolutely agree with what your saying. I think the issue with the newer generation hating on players like this is just because people tend to latch on to there era they grew up in, so there going to find ways to put down players outside of there era. It’s all good, I do the same thing with current players.
Cleric L8 I mentioned Magic because even older generations tend to have misconceptions about how Stockton surpassed his total assists as well. Since the former retired early, his career apg remained closer to his prime.
Well, it would have been interesting to see how many assist in total and per game Magic Johnson would have collected with a "normal" career. From a Stockton's fan.
teteskone41 It's pretty safe to say that it would've been below Stockton's career numbers. Magic never led the league in assists again after Stockton became a starter, and he was about three years older.
If you shorten Stockton's career to the same length as Magic Johnson (13 seasons) he still had more assists (even with his first 3 seasons where he only averaged 5, 7, and 8 apg). If you look at Magic's best season (13.1) Stockton averaged above that for 5 straight seasons.
This is my favorite part of the game and why I loved playing it at that position. Skill handling the ball + court vision = floor general. You score on the assist. 10 points and 15 assists is a job well done and every now and again you get to watch someone drop 20 points and 20 assists. But those days are gone now that Rondo runs a different scheme and Steve Nash retired.
Ya rondo was fun to watch but man i wont say no one will ever touch stockons assist record but..nm i wil say it. Bball is all about the 3, and iso switches. Zzzzzz
Man one of the most underrated basketball players ever! So basic and fundamental. If you had to put a picture of the definition of PG I would pick Stockton. And his athleticism was underrated. Very quick and great hand I coordination.
Super video, mate. John Stockton is probably the most fundamentally sound PG I've seen play. Nothing too fancy but everything he did was within the flow of an offense (similar to Timmy D in that regard).
Hes the tim duncan of point guards...nobody like him since jason williams white chocolate and steve nash...and lets throw jason kidd and chris Paul in there too

No player ever, had the ability to put passes on target they way he did. There’s been greats sure, but watching Stockton 90% of the time you’re scratching your head going “How the fuck did he just do that?”
@@dp233332 for sure, Stockton was very good, but magic was the better playmaker had a wider variety of passes by far. Stockton benefits from pnr with Malone, and entry passes to Malone. If magic was on the jazz they win a championship.
@Joe Richardson Makes no sense. Magic had way more turnovers. Also what makes a passer great is not how many flashy passes they can do. Its how many assists they can get and their courtvision and reaction times and IQ. Magic and Stockton both had top 3 courtvision all time. But Magic had Kareem, Worthy and alot more other high % scorers than Stockton. Magic better scorers led to Magic getting extra assists. Stockton is 2nd all time in APG while Nash is not too 5 and Nash had more scorers and higher %, scorers. Outside of Karl Malone others ran cuts and pick and rolls. While Stockton created the cuts by being double and triple teamed. Its a myth that Stockton only did basic passes. He did no look passes at a elite level that very few NBA PGs ever could do. Without turning them over as much. Context is always key in a discussion on any topic. Context shows how a person did it and why and when.

Great observation lad, most of people only focus on pick and roll cause nowdays it's played so much by NBA offences, but back then, with the way the game was actually played, it wasn't used so much so Stockton's record's even more impressive
People say he only leads, because Malone was such a great scorer. Malone was a great scorer, but Stockton was better at passing than Malone was at scoring.

Stockton is a top 5 NBA point guard all time for me. 19 out of 19 seasons in the playoffs, career leader in assists and steals by far over the next guy. Stockton is smart, reliable, and consistent. There are only 2 point guards better than Stockton, and that is Magic and Isiah Thomas bc of their championships.
When you look up the definition of point guard in the dictionary, John Stockton's name is there lol. Was there ever a more prolific passer in the NBA than John Stockton? I cannot think of one.
Isiah Thomas and Magic and Jason kids throwing full court bounce passes on the money. Magic Isiah and Jason Kidds throw alley hoop from half court. I am going Chris Paul John Stockton as well
And he couldn’t just pass. Averaged 16 for a decade in his prime shooting 53/39/83. 62% TS from 88-97 with 13 assists a gm. And maybe most impressive, he played EVERY GAME 17/19 years. He missed like 20 games out of 1.5K.
And he averaged almost 3 steals for a decade with like 3,330 career steals and. 700 more than the next most (Kidd, 2684). Sorry his stats just wild to me don’t think we’ll see it again.
