John Houston Stockton (born March 26, 1962) is a retired American professional basketball player (NBA) who spent his entire career (1984 � 2003) as a point guard for the Utah Jazz of the NBA. Stockton is regarded as one of the best point guards of all time, holding the NBA records for most career assists and steals by considerable margins. He was enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009.

John Stockton Video

This was made by KBlaze . . . it's Stockton in his prime . . . people think he was in his prime when the Jazz went to the finals, his prime was when he was 15 PPG / 15 APG . . . yeah, that's right, 15 assists / game. Kidd never did that.
4.27 min. | 4.90 user rating		 Jason Williams, before becoming an NBA champion with the Miami Heat as a prototypical point guard in 2006, was arguably the most exciting rookie to come into the league at the point guard position since Magic Johnson in 1979-80. Dazzling fans with behind-the-back passes and breaking ankles with sick dribbling moves made him a mainstay on SportsCenter's Top Ten Plays features throughout 1998-99. However, he ran into trouble in Game 5 of this series, and had a nightmarish performance in this winner-take-all game played under the old 5-game first round format. Jason finished with 2 points on 1-of-6 shooting, including 0-of-4 on three-point shots. He dished out 3 assists, grabbed 2 rebounds, had 1 steal, 1 turnover, and committed 5 fouls in trying to guard all-time great John Stockton. We still love you, Jason. (For reference, Kings coach Rick Adelman sat Jason Williams on the bench for the final 2 minutes of the 3rd quarter, the entire 4th quarter, and the first 4:30 or so of overtime. J-Will only played 25 of the 53 minutes, so don't be alarmed when the video jumps from the 3rd quarter to the final minute of overtime.)
