  • We had a chance to witness perhaps the greatest era for centers in NBA history in Ewing, Olajuwon, Robinson and O'Neal. We had a chance to witness the tenacity and resiliance of a player like John Stockton. The brashness and sheer joy that was Charles Barkley. The dramatic exploits of Reggie Miller. The brilliance of Magic, Michael and Larry. And yes, the intense force of nature that was Karl Malone.

  • John Stockton is a dirty bastard.

  • ABAHAHAHAHA

    

  • i absolutely love john stockton... he's my favorite ever (besides michael...). back in the 90s when i was totally obsessed, i wrote his dad at the bar he owns in spokane, to please send me an autographed picture- and he did! dedication with a touch of creepiness... i'm not ashamed.

  • his son "its daddyy"

    John- "too bad he's not here"

  • Because he's not wearing his short-shorts lol

  • he looks like a white guy who needs to go read a book... lol gotta love john stockton

  • Its cause he doesnt look like a basketball player lmao!

  • Absolutely love him, great guy, great player - bit like Steve Nash, and not just cos they both white :-P

  • One of my favorite players ever.

  • one of the dirtiest players to ever play

  • @runtda reallyh?

  • AWESOME

  • Love John Stockton. That seems like an awesome convenience to not be noticed though. He let Karl Malone eat up the spot light. Must be great to do what you love, make a lot of money, and not be bothered.

  • hahahaha

    

  • some people.

    Are they that dumb?!!!

  • hahahahahaha he is a white bball player with two records that may never be broken. Thanks for givin white people a good name

  • He's actually blessed to be honest..he gets to play on the biggest stages in the world..and then leave it all at the office when he checks out for the night...he can turn his fame on or off whenever he wants...on top of all the money and gets to live a normal life...Michael Jordan is a fish in a fishbowl.

  • "That's our dad." Awesome.

  • I want more.

  • The short shorts should have given it away

  • He look like a regular guy, he talks like a regular guy, he has the body of a regular guy yet a man that never dunked a basketball in an NBA game has more assists and steals than any man that ever played in the national basketball association.

    In every city in every country there is someone if not many people that can jump higher, run faster, even shoot better than John Stockton ever did. Those guys worship players like Iverson instead of Stockton and that is why they'll never make it. 

  • @bigsleep32 You should've somehow mentioned how Stockton likes to play down and dirty.

  • @OfficerInfusion That's so typically what the loser has to say.

  • haha pretty funny. he looks like a "normal person" or a businessman, huh?

    what is normal for you?

  • He kinda looks like Tom Cruise from Rainman :).

  • The last "old school" player. Great player, great guy, great teammate. I wish the Jazz had another Stockton.

  • @pele1281 its kind of looked it with deron as he was a very unselfish player but then he got traded. He was still no john stockton though.

  • @pele1281 And what about Jason Kidd??? Man you Stockton dick riders just never give up.

  • @Marakulous43

    And you Jason Kidd dick riders never give up either. Easy to talk shit now that Kidd FINALLY has a ring. Go troll elsewhere.

  • LOL. This video basically sums up Stockton. He never wanted to be recognized anyway.

  • You got to love Stockton's self-deprecating sense of humor.

  • wasnt his nickname the bank manager?...could be wrong.n Legend though.

  • total legend, amazing player and not concerned with being a celebrity.

  • Comment removed

  • You the man Stock. The NBA's never been the same since you've left.

  • How could you not recognize John Stockton? He's still wearing short-shorts off the court.

  • That was hilarious. Please find all of the behind the scene things like this.

  • Of course Stockton is one of the all-time greats, probably not top 10 or top 15, but you could make a case for top 20 or 25.

    As far as point guards go, he's in the top 5, maybe even top 4.

  • @Barachat He's the league's career assists and steals leader. He's top 10 overall in my opinion. Even though he never won a championship.

  • @Barachat Good thing the All-Time lists aren't made by you.....

    All-Time Steals and Assists Leader = THE BEST Point Guard ever.....Period. NBA Championships are won by teams, not players. Stockton can't control the whole game, but what he could control turned into NBA record after record.

    Thanks for playing tho. And out of curiosity, who do you mistakenly place in front of Stockton as the best PG?

  • @OneHandHigh Magic Johnson says hi.

  • @OneHandHigh I think magic was a better point guard but im glad someone finally agree's with me that championships are won by teams

  • @OneHandHigh Magic Johnson is who I place ahead of Stockton

  • John Stockton is not underrated, he has never been mentioned as a Malones wingman. It was always the incredible duo stockton-malone. Malone would have been scoring less and stockton would've been asisting less if they didnt play together. Its always cousy, robertson, magic and stockton best pg of all time.

  • haha... "I hate this, I can't go anywhere without being bugged"... hahaha!!

  • This is why John Stockton is my favorite basketball player ever :-)

    Nicest guy ever

  • lolol xD

    I cant go anywhere without being bugged

    I Love John Stockton!!

  • most underrated point guard ever

  • @ryanhopfensperger the fuck are you talking about? He isn't underrated at all haha, people always give him his credit. Most underrated PG? I'll say Kevin Johnson or Mark Price.

  • @mohammad5

    Mark Jackson is also underrated.

  • @mohammad5 this video proves how underrated he is... kevin johnson is underrated but not even close to stockton.. all time leader in assists & steals? he deserved more credit than he go

  • @ryanhopfensperger You just lost all credibility with your argument after that post. This video proves how underrated he is? Any basketball knows Stockton is an all time great, he's in the HOF for god sakes so his work has been notice. Also, these people either didn't watch basketball, or were just casual fans. Yes, all team leader in assists and steals, so how is he underrated? No basketball fan would say that, get real.

  • @mohammad5 you dont make any sense.. the fact that he is the all time leader in assists and steals should make him one of the all time greats... the reason he isnt is because of karl malone. he scored all the pts and got all of the credit for the teams success. the only reason karl malone scored as much as he did was because of john stockton who was considered karl malones wingman

  • @ryanhopfensperger no, you aren't making any sense. You went from talking about Stockton being underrated to Karl Malone. Karl Malone's success has nothing to do with Stockton being underrated or not, people consider him an all time great. Hence...why he isn't underrated.

  • @mohammad5 no, john stockton should be considered one of the all time greats. however, he isn't.. just ask some of your friends, i guarantee most of them don't even know who he is. the reason he is so underrated is because of karl malone.. i dont know how that doesnt make any sense, but anyways, karl malone was considered the teams "best" player... there is know way he would have been as good as he was if he didnt have john stockton passing him the ball time after time again

  • @ryanhopfensperger John Stockton is definitely considered an all-time great. I really don't know where you are getting your ideas from.

  • @happymand you a dumbass. this video proves my point exactly. i dont know who your try fool

  • @ryanhopfensperger So you think people recognize Jerry West or Bob Cousy when they walk down the street? Or Nate Archibald or Paul Arizin? Or Hal Greer? Dude I'm trying YOU, cuz you don't know what ur talking about.

  • @happymand exactly. but i'm sure they would recognize steve nash. all of the players you just listed, including john stockton, aren't "flashy" basketball players which is what fans today want to see... rajon rondo, chris paul.. even allen iverson who doesnt even play anymore. the only point im trying to make is that if john stockton walks down the street during the 92' olympics, he should be recognized..

  • @ryanhopfensperger But you see all of the players I listed are known as all-time greats... In fact they are all considered in the top 50 best basketball players ever.

  • @happymand okay but at least admit that all the players you listed, including john stockton, should me recognized when they walk the streets... you know they deserve it

  • gary payton said john stockton is a harder player to defend than michael jordan and garys got a defensive player of the year award and has placed his name on the first nba defensive team 7 or 8 times, that gives me shivers down my spine.

  • The NBA ain't the same with stockton.

  • how can anyone not recognize those short shorts, lol.

  • he looks like a normal tourist...  lol

  • he's known for his name, not his face

  • who the fuck is this stockton..

  • @lifesaach gtfo,

  • LOL

  • i know it's a bit of a bigotry, but... what the hell, americans! :)

  • 25 people didn't recognize John Stockton when they were in Barcelona.

  • He looks like a 30 something yuppie! lol! This commercial still cracks me up.

  • "i hate this, i can't go anywhere without being bugged"

    I just repect and love John stockton a bit more

    didn't thought i would

  • That is somehow sad.

  • lol most humble player. . .

  • @textmachine09 Most humble basketball legend, more like it. :D

  • if im sick and barkley visits me at the hospital, id kick his no championship ass for hating on 4-time champion Kobe Bryant

  • he's a point guard but still so freaken tall!!!

  • @utarian7 he's 6'1, he's short in the NBA

  • @utarian7 stockton is like 5.11

    thats not tall

  • "really not much different for michael jordan walking through here"

    haha, awesome

  • "I met Charles Barkley the other night"

    "Didja? He's a helluva player"

    Hilarious

  • lol dry humor, dare I say its another similarity between him and Nash?

  • "I hate this! I can't go anywhere without being bugged"

    ... LMFAO!! Stock's hilarious!

  • @Deeppack he was being sarcastic right?

  • @scottrolen27mvp lol, of course he was. he was playing on the fact that nobody recognized him.

  • @scottrolen27mvp : Indeed, buddy... that's why it's hilarious considering the video clip =)

  • I met charles barkley at phoenix childrens hospital. he came and seen my son- it was cool. he was there visit his friends child. and i asked him to come see my baby. he was very nice . took some photos. chatted a few min's.

  • @SlimBeany really, that amazing. what a great guy

  • haha he's lucky

  • This was filmed in Barcelona during the 1992 Olimpic games., where the best team in basketball history played . They didn't call any timeouts in any game and won all of them for at least 20 points! Great memories!

  • ..today's nba players can take a few pointers on the game (and while they're at it, humility) from him..

  • he is too humble

  • hey omegzilla1

    do you want a cookie?

  • haha...

    i had my first career assist at the Y...=)

  • dunked for my first time today = )

  • haha that was awesome

  • hahah!! great move by john

  • He's just one of those players that lays low and not that flashy but always did things the right way and did whatever it took for him and his team to win! And he is the All-time leader in Assist and Steals lol ..... Good shit haha NBA'ers still have a long way to go to catch up to his stats!!!!

  • His one of my favorite.. His the best point guard i know.. His awesome man.. I never watched him played though.. I was born 1992 so yeah..

  • u a senior now?

  • senior? what do you mean by that?

  • u said u were born in 92 so im guessing ur a senior cause i was born in 94 and im a sophmore

  • Oh i guess so.. but for me I'm not.. so u playing basketball?

  • nah i suck at bball

  • if you love basketball, just keep practicing.. I've practiced so hard.. I regret playing soccer..

  • Im a junior, and i was born in 92

  • ????

  • the only reason that he dosen't have a ring is because of mj

  • he was NEVER "UNDER-RATED" by players lol... maybe by fans of other teams only and thats still a maybe .......peace

  • LMAO @ 0:09

  • john stockton=badass

  • stockton was one of the greatest pgs of all time.. he jus didnt win a ring because of michael jordan.

  • im not sure about under rated. this man was a beast. BEAST!

    hes just not recognizable. looks like a regular joe

  • haha....that's funny...most underrated pg of all time...

  • Under-rated? I don't think so, buddy.

  • Even when you saw him on the court he looked like he didn't fit in!  He looked like some third string journeyman the Jazz signed out of the CBA to a ten day contract!

    What a player he was.

  • yeah him and jeff hornacek looked like that lol.......now its parker and ginobli lmao

  • its really because stockton doesnt look like the type of guy that play basketball he looks like a normal person or a business man

  • he looks like one of the greatest pg's of all time!

  • @charlesHBKWWE or the fact that he's white lol

  • i had that shirt!!!

  • hahah he said you look wonderful. i know he didnt mean it like that but still kind of funny with his wife there

  • hes hard to recognize

  • if i was ever an actor or athlete or just someone that people know and watch on tv, i would love to have that kind of low profile so that no one would bother me.

  • and i've seen many plays :he had some great moves !!!!what a player !!!tenacious competitor and if you watch "young john stockton best of " you see he was spectacular at the occasion

    even at 41 he still played like a all star

  • I watched it. You are right about that.

  • lol he has a great sense of humour

  • i hate this, i can't go anywhere without getting bug... lol

    his my idol and will always be...

  • those who know and love bball know Stockton. The best 6'2 and under pointguard to play the game ever.

  • jordan and detroit

    thats why

  • LOL..... he is a hell of a guy!!!

    i'm still lil down cuz he (and Malone) never won a title, and he truly deserves it!!!!!!!!!!

  • john stockton was one of the best pooint guards ever to play the game

  • a shame this guy didn't win a title

    most fundamentally sound point guard EVER!

  • lol his wife's shorts are longer than his

  • But if he walked around in those tighty whities he played in people would be like:

    "OMG, that's john stockton over there"

  • I walked up that street yesterday and thought that I should have done that 17 years earlier.. :-) Barcelona is a very beautiful city

  • "I hate this, I can't go anywhere without being bugged"

    funny.

  • as a fan wise, I really feel bad for the lady.

    I met Jason Lezak (olympic swimmer) at a local gym and I didn't recognize him at first.

    Felt pretty bad when I found out few minutes later.

  • Rofl. Not much different from MJ walkin down here

  • This is funny, especially in the opening and last scene. First when he said that this is like when MJ walks down the street then he said I can't stand this everyone is bugging me. LOL!

  • Next that happens John, just say "I'M THE GRANDADDY OF POINT GUARDS BITCH. I MADE STEVE NASH AND JASON KIDD. I WILL OWN YOU.

  • hahah that's cute

  • i was a little confused for a while with this video

  • It's because Stockton was being sarcastic for not being recognized as an NBA player by the people in the streets.

  • :s sad

  • john stockton defined how to play a PG during his time, AND this generation and more to come. he's one of the best PG if not the best ot ever step foot on the court, too bad he didnt get a ring. damn!

  • Well at least he got a gold medal :P

  • lol, pretty neat

  • Lol, he is a funny dude

  • no matter wat i know id reconize john

    lol his sense of humor is awesome

  • He will always be my most respected player from the NBA. Though I think I probably won't recognize them either.

  • He just looks so plain. He doesn't have any distinct characteristics so you don't really notice him in a crowd. Naturally, he isn't that tall either so..

  • me too, grant hill is up there too.

  • great player, great guy. and a hot daddy!!! lucky kids and wife.

  • LMAO I dont think hes dead.

  • hahaha he just looks so much like a regular guy.

  • lol just a regular guy. cute kid "that's daddy"

  • He even had on the short shorts!

  • stockton was one of the best ever.

  • Stockton stays one of the best assister in ALL OF FAME!!!!!

  • aww :(.... he didnot looked like a baller rofl

  • lol.. its just that he looks like another typical old school white guy. no offence. hes good.

  • Love john stockton

  • lol poor john

  • haha.. kool guy.
