How lucky we were to have John here in Utah for nineteen years.

I remember watching the Dream Team documentary where John was seemingly the only player able to go out in public and totally blend in without drawing attention to himself. I thought it was funny, he might be the all time steals/assists leader because no one thought he'd be able to steal their pass, or no one thought he could complete his passes. Dude was a 5'10 white dude who played for close to 2 decades. Yet watching this, I see, he was extremely proficient and is worthy of much adulation.

The definition of an unselfish pass first player. Number 1 in assists and steals for his career but number 41 in career points. Much respect.

What a great tribute to Stockton, I rooted for the Jazz during those 2 Finals, only cause I got to see him about 5 years earlier at the Delta center (I was visiting US). Since then, I was a Jazz fan in a mostly Bulls leaning basketball crazy country. I kinda got disappointed they didn't get at least one, but looking back, I feel privileged to see a player who comes along probably...never again. What a great player, an even better person off court.

that's the man out there, a pure example of a point guard, i almost cried for this one. he doesn't play for the money he plays because he wants to win and i don't care if he do not have a nba ring what matters is legacy he made through out his 19th season career. much respect for that guy and his family. God bless thanks for this video a very nice one =)

Stockton is a (relatively) small player but what many people don't know is that he's got ENORMOUS hands! Hand size is such an underrated quality in basketball players. Jordan would not be Jordan without those hands!!

Not only was John Stockton a great player, but he is a good man who has given back to the community after his retirement. I miss the Stockton/Malone days of the Utah Jazz, but I'm sure that he is happy to be where he is now.

Thanks for posting this wonderful retrospective. I simply could not hold John Stockton in higher regard as a player and as a man. He was utterly refreshing in terms of his humility and was always a thrill to watch on the court. The level of respect shown towards him in this video by such an all-star cast of characters says it all. Even his autobiography is called "Assisted" ... where he talks about all the people who helped him. He just doesn't want to take credit and make it about himself. He's not just a sports role model, he's also a life role model for anyone who is willing to take notice. Thank you John Stockton for just being you!

Its exactly as Isiah says, he does not do behind the back or iso dribble moves does not trash talk does not do flashy passes but still he'd come out of a game leaving the best of players clueless as to how he was able to do what he did game in and game out. His IQ is out of this world and he saw the floor with a vision that is non existent these days. He was the greatest ever pure point guard to have and will play the game. Funny thing is his son David is similar in playing style but he hasn't been able to break into the NBA until 24. Guess that makes it clear what the idea of a point guard is today in contrast to what the idea was in 1984.

I am glad to get to know more about him and his story and smile at the other players comments of how tough and good he was. The funniest things were him giving his wife stitches in hockey and blocking the kid in the wheelchair's shot so he could win! ha! He is good basketball thanks so much again for your posts!

Mikey IV what? He didn't have all the tools? You cannot be more wrong. Think about it, how many people there are in the world with the same height as him or taller, but how many can play like him as a proper point guard? He has got the fastest reflection. That's something for great tool. And who has got the solid footwork? Stockton. So what is it that "lack of tools up his sleeve"? Wrong.

If I had someone like Stockton coaching me back during my HS years, I probably would've stuck with basketball for good. Players/people like him are a dying breed today, which is a damn shame. There might not be another Stockton in the NBA right now, but the closest I've seen to that kind of mindset on the court is Kendall Marshall of the Lakers. Maybe he'll eventually bring that same spirit back to the game if he sticks around a while longer.

Yep I agree. I grew up in Utah & rooted for the Jazz. It may make me a hater but I was happy Malone didn't get a ring with the lakers. John would've played another season had Malone stayed with Utah. They were past there prime & had no shot at winning anything but a final goodbye season would've been a great way to end both careers.

Oops autocorrect messed my statement up. Lebron proved that by leaving and joining a better team to win a ring. Before that it was KG, Ray Allen twice, and a ton of players this year. John played almost every game in his 19 years and made his team better. Plus he played with only one other HOF player, even Jordan can't say that. Also, he holds records that can't be touched for a long time.
