John Stockton who played against Wilkins, Ewing, Payton, Jordan, Pippen, Kemp, Robinson, Zeke, Barkley, Bird, Magic...the greatest of the greats, but he wouldn’t make today’s roster?
Where players like ish Smith, Gabe, Satoransky, Graham, get minutes as PGs and are some of the most terrible pgs in the league.
Jordan, Rodman and Pippen are considered the greatest defensive players of all time at their position.
In the finals against the Bulls Stockton averaged 13/9, 50 pct shooting and 80 pct from FT.
Gary Payton said John Stockton was the toughest player ever had to guard:
“John Stockton is because I liked him when I was playing basketball. Everyone said he was dirty. He wasn't as athletic as us. But he was smarter than us. We knew what he was going to do. We knew he was going to set picks. We had all the videos on Utah. We were so dumb. We would get caught up with the picks and get mad at him. He would shoot eight times and make nine. Shoot eight free throws and make seven. He'd have 15 assists and four steals. A complete game. That's just the way he was and I idolized him. I just imitated him while going about my business, talking trash and getting it done. After the game you would look at my stats and it would be right there.”
But you who never played nba ball in your life...you know more than Payton. Todaya’s nba is highly skilled and technical which is what john’s game was. John Stockton was ahead of his time.
You really sound foolish. ALL HAIL THE KING of LOSING: LEBRON Bulls | Bears | White Sox | Yankees | Notre Dame | Illinois | Chelsea | Real Madrid
