So do you like John Stockton?

no

It's too bad he never got a championship ring. Some players like Stockton and Barkley really deserved it because they played their hearts out. Maybe Malone too, but he's a bit of a a-hole.

it's time .. i have a great deal of respect for Stockon. He's an awesome player. He and Mahlone were great. I never really like them but they were good.

Like Stockton...

its kind of funny how good john stockton and karl malone is. teams know they usually run the same play every time but they just cant defend against it. I suppose it shows you how good they are.

I heard he was one of the dirtiest players in the NBA, but you wouldn't know just by looking at him.

Malone is good when he plays, but he has gotten lazy on defense. Rather than play somebody straight up, he would rather flop and try to get a call. It works well early in the game, but the refs get bored with it. And after nearly 20 years, they should have won a ring together. They are good players, but they don't make the players around them better.

They don't make the players around them better... more like they have crappy players around them..

look at ostertag... he's such a waste for a huge ass player.. he has no presence. Who else do they have ?
they barely have anyone besides Malone and Stockton... ( meaning players that can actually score )

AK is a all around player I think... but I think they need a better bench.

Matt Harpring and Kirilenko???? Those guys both average more points than Stockton does. Harpring has been a HUGE help to the Jazz this season. Pity Malone and Stockton will probably both leave.

I'll always remember him as one of the best point guards ever.

stockton is cool, while i hate malone.

stockton was great, but magic was greater

Stockton was one of the best modern point guards. Magic was better but he was more than a point guard - he was simply one of the greatest players ever regardless of position since he could and did play all 5 positions.

Isaiah Thomas was a better point guard. Stockton getting Zeke's place on the Dream Team was a joke. However, it never should have been Stockton/Thomas - Chris Mullin did not deserve a spot on the team esp when compared to either of these 2 players. Same thing about Laettner

Now having said that, Stockton was a player that I enjoyed watching. He will be missed. Oh yeah, regarding the lack of championships, a lot of modern players are ringless thanks to MJ and company. Its not his fault.
