And to think, Malone and Stockton did all this without the benefit of traveling, while playing against players who actually played defense, without being babied by the officials like the stars of today are.
@SuperZiggyboi Kobe and Shaq "couldve been" great? Correct me if I'm wrong, but my fact book says they won 3 more NBA championships than Stockton & Malone did. Currently, Shaq and Kobe are #5 and 6 on the all-time scoring list and both are still active. Kobe has 5 rings and counting, Shaq has 4...
They're better individually and as a duo than Stockton and Malone, just not as long-lasting
@SuperZiggyboi No, they wouldn't "still be a great duo today." Shaq's play was in noticeable decline as early as '05. When Miami won the title, in the close-out game, he scored 6 points. He rode D-Wade's coat tails to that title.
The Lakers got rid of Shaq b/c he was overweight, out of shape and undedicated to his profession. The Lakers would have been in the crapper for years if they'd kept him.
What are Shaq's stats this year? Look 'em up. Does that look like half of a great duo
@senjahcore No Lakers got rid of Shaq because of his age, they wanted to build around up and coming Kobe for the franchise and that was it. Shaq delivered 3 championships for the Lakers and won all 3 finals MVP. There is no possible way someone could be as dominant as Shaq without dedication to what they're doing. And I also do like how you want to compare his stats in prime vs. him as a 39 year old.
@BlanknWhite "Lakers got rid of Shaq because of his age, they wanted to build around up and coming Kobe for the franchise and that was it."
Very true.
But Shaq was 380 lbs in 2003; that year he was fat, undeducated, etc... But in general, you're right: Shaq kept himself in pretty decent shape and worked hard enough to be an all-time great.
The comparison of Shaq at two different points in his career was related to my debate w/ another poster. You'd have to read both our comments to get it
@SuperZiggyboi Fair enough. I'm less of an asshole than my debating persona would suggest and I hope I didn't offend... I just know my Laker facts and, b/c they're such an over-analyzed team, I get miffed when people who don't watch many of their games, have full-fledged opinions about their franchise history
That said, wtf do I know about the Nets, Canucks or Devil Rays?
I've got a 9 to 5 & can only afford to obsess this absurdly about one pro sports team
@senjahcore 2 completely different teams dude. And Kobe and Shaq didn't have the same team work as Malone and Stockton. Shaq carried most of the load and was just too strong for all the other centers. He was too dominant. I don't even consider them a duo really. Individually, they were 4 completely different players. You can't compare them. Malone is arguably the greatest PF. Stockton is arguably the greatest PG. All 4 of them were arugably the most dominant at their positions at one time.
@MikeyIV I disagree about Kobe & Shaq being a duo but I see where you're coming from. They contributed less directly to each other's success than Mailman and Stockton. True enough.
"You can't compare them." Yes, I can. I did.
But it's definitely somehwt apples (SG-C) vs. oranges (PG-PF), you have a good point
@senjahcore Yea. Obviously they didn't have the same success as those lakers. But Shaq was just too dominant for the NBA at that time. He was a freak of nature. But don't forget Malone and Stockton swept Shaq and Kobe in 98! You gotta give them the respect they deserve.
@MikeyIV I remember that series. Lakers got rolled. Ouch. That was a couple years before Kobe was really a star player, but the Jazz were a great team then... Stockton and Malone get much respect from me. Both tremendous all-time greats who managed to co-exist so well for 15+ years
@50101050 kid, the nba only exists because people pay to see it. and frankly, the "fundamentals" you talk about are an eye sore compared to what fans pay billions of dollars to see each year. i play varsity basketball, and we look GOOD. its the evolution of basketball...
@Zaakmaan Kid??? You play varsity basketball which tells me you're the kid. Don't disrespect me and I am probably 10 years older than you. Those "fundamentals" that you call an eye sore made a small white point guard "THE GREATEST TO EVER PLAY THE GAME." The man never conformed to the new age and I give him a lot of credit. When you make it to the Hall of Fame, then you can say something. Don't disrespect my generation!
Stockton and Malone were bar none the best duo in NBA history. They each had more class than Bryant & O'Neal, Jordan & Pippen and never turned on each other when the going got tough!
Stockton and Malone are the best duo of all time for a reason. They made each other, were both on the US Dream Team of the 1992 Olympics, and they made Jazz fans react a lot when they scored
Stockton to Malone! > Jordan to Pippen! > Kobe to Shaq!
John Stockton wouldn't be the all-time assist leader without Karl Malone, and Karl wouldn't be the second all-time leader in career points without John Stockton. Just WOW
NBA I m just a 5'6 black dude and I can dunk easily. Anybody can certainly do it, just follow the right training program. I used the one from 50 inch vertical (dot) com but any training program is good if they work that is... lol
so this is de fabled pick n roll of de era b4 i was born, well at least there was still nash n stoudemire. i wonder who will be de nxt pick n roll of de nba now?
these two guys made each other ... malone 2nd most points in the nba history, stockton most assist in nba history ... if they didnt have each other on thier team they probably wouldnt have been so successful .
man i remember the game against the rockets back in 96.. what a rush. no one understood how utah wins when stockton does 0 pts a game, until looking at his assists stats..
Both he and Stockton were selected to be a part of the Dream Team, the legendary 1992 U.S. Olympic basketball team that was the first to feature professional NBA players. They are two-time Olympic Gold medalists, having won one in 1992 and another 1996 in Atlanta.
I miss these two guys so much. look how the jazz fans react when they score, I think they were very fortunate to see these two in their prime for many years. The NBA just isn't the same without players of this calibre, loved the 90's.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
excuses excuses , man get over it , every team dat michael jordon beat had a chance even the phoneix suns they lost the first 2 games at home but manages 2 win 2 at chicago if they could have stayed focused they could have won , and lets not forget stockton and malone went to 2 finals dnt make excuses for them if they were the best combo in nba history they would have won a ring , u can call em the best nba combo in nba season history but no best combo ever
@woot0024 wouldn't say best but definitely one of the strongest ones. jordan and pippen, bryant and o'neal, dwayne wade and lebron james.. there are more =)
A two headed dragon. Either could strike at any time, whether it was the ever so popular Stockton to Malone, or the sometimes ocurring Malone to Stockton, they had amazing chemistry, that no duo has really replicated.
@rokmc23 dude...John stockton is the best PG ever and malone is the best PF ever. They are the best duo in NBA history, I don't think anyone will be better than them.
I'll never forget -my son,10(now 27)was at a jazz game, accidentally left behind by his Junior jazz team.he had broken his leg &couldn't keep up when all were leaving.(I'm over the anger)my son was smart enough to go back inside the arena&a guard put him in front of the locker room to call me.meanwhile,Karl came out&asked him what was going on.Karl got a ball,signed it &informed the guard to be sure ALL the rest of the team did so too, including John; they did.he cherishes that b-ball.classy.
@vermeml and there is 20 other great combos. i say this unbiased.. #1 combo in nba history... is like nolan ryans strikout record. it will never be touched... not even maybe... not even .00000001 percent chance ever... impossible
An assist can be scored for the passer even if the player who receives the pass makes a basket after dribbling the ball. HOWEVER, the original definition of an assist did not include such situations, so the comparison of assist statistics across eras is a complex matter.
I guess I'm old school - a dribble negates an assist in my book. Thanks for the respectful dialogue - it's refreshing.
"An assist can be scored for the passer even if the player who receives the pass makes a basket after dribbling the ball."
Exactly.
And you said othwerwise. Multiple times.
And of course, you still try and act superior to your own ignorance -- never owning up to the FACT that you were misstating selfsame over the course of multiple posts, while acting as if you were and are some sort of knowledgeable source.
You don't even know one of the most basic rules in the NBA.
Are you still yapping? What a sad life you must live to have to harp on about a virtual non-issue. Upset with myself for the amount of energy I have already expended this topic. Continue to comment do your heart's desire. I am done with you.
I know reading more than one paragraph is hard for you but here is the second paragraph of the previous statement - I took put it in small words to help as best as possible.
HOWEVER, the original definition of an assist did not include such situations, so the comparison of assist statistics across eras is a complex matter.
In other words, you were and are factually wrong and can't admit it, thus opting for prevarication within retroactive shell-game or straw-man argumentation.
A liar and fool, that's you.
Also, keep in mind (what a stretch), that Magic played under the same rules as Stockton.
By your ridiculous "standard", that's only being used to cover up, poorly, your ignorance, no championship since 79 should count because of the "impurity" of something like the the three point line being implemented.
Wow - you have a ton of pent up frustration! I suggest you order some Extenze and a prostitute to help get past your "issues". Good luck...I have a feeling you'll need it no matter what the circumstances.
What I knew was that you either shoot immediately or you can take up to 2 dribbles.
I think it's better that way because it's still a decisive pass if you take a dribble or two, and it's still all thanks to the dude who dished out. It's not like you're changing the aspect of the play or individualizing the play, you're still scoring BECAUSE of that good pass. You're not re-creating your own shot with just 2 dribbles.
The running/moving stride of a 6'6" NBA player with two dribbles could cover almost half the court.....so logically, that would alter the play/shot options from any pass dramatically. I am holding to the ORIGINAL rule that any dribble negates an assist.
Actually, I'm a ranting boob that is ignorantly psychotic. I was never really married to reality - we just dated for a little while. I have also tried to babble in a vacuum but found it difficult to do with a lack of air - it seems almost necessary to carry sounds waves.
Bruce Valanch - yep he's my half brother. Although, if you meant Bruce Vilanch he was my college roommate and tells a hellva joke about a guy who has a heart attack after getting all jacked up about a post on YouTube...
not sure you're responding to Sunshine or me. Regardless, it's evident that there are a couple ways that the statisticians record an assist - it's even different for NCAA. I think it's kinda fun to see how wound up I can get Sunshine....he seems to need an outlet and I like to provide him the opportunity to spout his nonsense...he's kinda funny in a delusional sort of way.
what facts am I avoiding...I'm the only one listing any facts. All you and Sunshine can do is spout names calling and dribble (pun intended). I will use your words "you're wrong" - there, happy:) Show me the rule you have tucked away that's different than the one I have already stated. Sure human error is common. Keep in mind that you have to have a set of rules in play in order to "error"
With all the talk of Kobe-Shaq, Wade-Shaq, Penny-Shaq, Iverson-Anthony, possible LBJ-Shaq, many people forget that Stockton-Malone were one of the games BEST 1-2 punch, whether or not they won a championship.
You know whats crazy? Stockton was better than Nash is and even had better stats. Better defender too. He was never an MVP. Kinda makes me wonder how legit Nashes MVPs are when you compare careers.
True, but Kareem had been long gone and Stockton was still very good. Magic left in the early 90s too. Thomas didn't long long into the 90s and left pretty young. Bird was old when Stockton was at his best. Hakeem and MJ are good examples though. It really tells you how much tougher it was back then. Stockton never finished more than 7th in MVP voting.
Stockton had to compete with MJ, Bird, Magic and Kareem plus his own teammate Malone. So its not a complete surprise because all these players were just great.
If only basketball was exciting today as it was back then.. All the attention seems to focus on 3 point shooters and show off dunkers.

D-Will is a good guard, but he is and never will be a Stockton. Boozer is a forward and Malone was THE FORWARD!.

I'll never forget -my son,10(now 27)was at a jazz game, accidentally left behind by his Junior jazz team.he had broken his leg &couldn't keep up when all were leaving.(I'm over the anger)my son was smart enough to go back inside the arena&a guard put him in front of the locker room to call me.meanwhile,Karl came out&asked him what was going on.Karl got a ball,signed it &informed the guard to be sure ALL the rest of the team did so too, including John; they did.he cherishes that b-ball.classy.

Great plays BUT #6 is technically an assist as they announced - Malone dribbled the ball before the basket...any dribble negates an assist stat....

my beef is that they say he tied a record for that "assist" and it wasn't an assist.
pll66 2 years ago
it is an assist!
one bounce of the ball after it is received from the passer is allowed for it to still be regarded as assist.
it's a common rule...

the rule is if the pass leads directly to a basket - leaves a lot of room for second guessing

pll66 2 years ago
An assist can be scored for the passer even if the player who receives the pass makes a basket after dribbling the ball. HOWEVER, the original definition of an assist did not include such situations, so the comparison of assist statistics across eras is a complex matter.
I guess I'm old school - a dribble negates an assist in my book. Thanks for the respectful dialogue - it's refreshing.

"An assist can be scored for the passer even if the player who receives the pass makes a basket after dribbling the ball."
Exactly.
And you said othwerwise. Multiple times.
And of course, you still try and act superior to your own ignorance -- never owning up to the FACT that you were misstating selfsame over the course of multiple posts, while acting as if you were and are some sort of knowledgeable source.
You don't even know one of the most basic rules in the NBA.
Hang your head.

I know reading more than one paragraph is hard for you but here is the second paragraph of the previous statement - I took put it in small words to help as best as possible.

pll66 2 years ago
In other words, you were and are factually wrong and can't admit it, thus opting for prevarication within retroactive shell-game or straw-man argumentation.
A liar and fool, that's you.
Also, keep in mind (what a stretch), that Magic played under the same rules as Stockton.
By your ridiculous "standard", that's only being used to cover up, poorly, your ignorance, no championship since 79 should count because of the "impurity" of something like the the three point line being implemented.

Just because you act like a dick, doesn't mean you have a large one.
I had to look up the product's name to find out what is; you, on the other hand, evidently have firsthand knowledge.
Which begs the question of how many times you've paid for sex?
Are you as bad at that -- either the act or paying -- as you are with facts?
What a pitiful pudwapper.

let me guess, mid-30s, stuck with a wife and kid?
lakerfiend 2 years ago
yeah I didn't know that.
What I knew was that you either shoot immediately or you can take up to 2 dribbles.
I think it's better that way because it's still a decisive pass if you take a dribble or two, and it's still all thanks to the dude who dished out. It's not like you're changing the aspect of the play or individualizing the play, you're still scoring BECAUSE of that good pass. You're not re-creating your own shot with just 2 dribbles.
Logically, the new rule is more adequate.
yoe91 2 years ago
The running/moving stride of a 6'6" NBA player with two dribbles could cover almost half the court.....so logically, that would alter the play/shot options from any pass dramatically. I am holding to the ORIGINAL rule that any dribble negates an assist.
pll66 2 years ago
Who the fuck are you?
The rule is what it is, and you're babbling on in a vacuum of your own creation.
If the modern NBA -- of, oh, the last many decades -- is so offensive to you, why watch it?
Your complaints are now those of either an ignorant boob, or a ranting psychotic.
After all, you're divorcing yourself from reality.
I hope you look better than you think, but I get the feeling that the two are so intertwined as to be conflated.
Bruce Valanch?
sunshinebutmorerain 2 years ago
Actually, I'm a ranting boob that is ignorantly psychotic. I was never really married to reality - we just dated for a little while. I have also tried to babble in a vacuum but found it difficult to do with a lack of air - it seems almost necessary to carry sounds waves.
Bruce Valanch - yep he's my half brother. Although, if you meant Bruce Vilanch he was my college roommate and tells a hellva joke about a guy who has a heart attack after getting all jacked up about a post on YouTube...

you're getting viciously owned. by yourself.
what kind of jerk acts like an expert on pro-ball without even knowing what an assist is?
lakerfiend 2 years ago
not sure you're responding to Sunshine or me. Regardless, it's evident that there are a couple ways that the statisticians record an assist - it's even different for NCAA. I think it's kinda fun to see how wound up I can get Sunshine....he seems to need an outlet and I like to provide him the opportunity to spout his nonsense...he's kinda funny in a delusional sort of way.

***not sure you're responding to Sunshine or me.***
of course I'm responding to you. you're the one avoiding the facts.
***Regardless, it's evident that there are a couple ways that the statisticians record an assist***
human error is inherent. that was the case in the sixties, too.
but we still know what the NBA rule is for an assist, based on the rule book itself.
and your argument is nonsensical based on that. you're wrong. just cop to it.
you're coming off as bitter and deluded.

Keep in mind that you have to have a set of rules in play in order to "error"

John competed in an age of superstars, like magic, bird, isiah, MJ, Hakeem , Kareem. It was almost impossible to get an MVP.
supertarzan12 2 years ago
True, but Kareem had been long gone and Stockton was still very good. Magic left in the early 90s too. Thomas didn't long long into the 90s and left pretty young. Bird was old when Stockton was at his best. Hakeem and MJ are good examples though. It really tells you how much tougher it was back then. Stockton never finished more than 7th in MVP voting.
bigbuzin555 2 years ago
Stockton had to compete with MJ, Bird, Magic and Kareem plus his own teammate Malone. So its not a complete surprise because all these players were just great.
