John Stockton - Mr. Ambition

John Stockton(born March 26, 1962) is a retired American professional basketball player 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.

Standing 6'1", Stockton is considered to be one of the NBA's greatest point guards. He averaged a career double-double, with 13.1 points and 10.5 assists per game. He holds the NBA's record for most career assists (15,806) by a considerable margin, as well as the record for most career steals (3,265). He had five of the top six assists seasons in NBA history (the other belonging to Isiah Thomas). He holds the NBA record for the most seasons and consecutive games played with one team, and is third in total games played, behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Robert Parish. He missed only 22 games during his career, 18 of them in one season. As a point of comparison, he played in 34 games where he tallied 20 or more assists.

Stockton was known for his unassuming, no-nonsense approach to the game, hard-nosed defense, and fanatical work-ethic in preparation, which resulted in his extreme durability. He played 1,504 of 1,526 possible games in his 19-season career.

That's because back then Gonzaga wasn't considered the basketball power it is now and since he was a slim 6'1 point guard, critics assumed that he wouldn't make an impact in the NBA.

I'm glad that he proved all of those people wrong because he's not only an unselfish player but a tenacious one as well with excellent court vision. Damn that was the Jazz back then.

Excelente video y homenaje a John Stockton, el mejor movedor de balon que ha existido en la historia de la NBA, no era el mas espectacular pero si el mas inteligente, eficaz, hacen falta mas Stockton en la NBA, para que el basquetbol se vea como lo que es un juego de inteligencia combinado con velocidad, te extraño John, siempre seras uno de mis heroes, viva el Utah Jazz

I'm a Jordan fan, but I respect the way Stockton played the game. He could beat u in so many ways...let's not forget he is the all time steals and assists leader.
