Judging by the comments reaction in the comments....Stockton is still very much underrated. Seriously folks, he is the NBA ALL TIME LEADER OF BOTH ASSIST AND STEAL Category. HE IS THE BEST PG OF ALL TIME.

@changalator

Wrong absolutely wrong. I would take Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson and Jerry West before John Stockton.

@yargdpirate he is alot better then jason kidd. even with jason kidds ring.

@yargdpirate

John Stockton was much better then Jason Kidd. Kidd is barely shooting 40% for his career. That's terrible. Stockton shot almost 52% for his career.  That's a HUGE difference.

@paulc43

And why wouldn't the Bulls double team Stockton since he had the rock 99% percent of the time. You always double team the ball. His numbers only good because he played in the most point guard dominated offense ever. Every point guard has had better assist totals under Sloan than where they played before or played after. Sports Illustrated also said Gary's 2003-2004 season was the best one by a point guard 35 or over. maybe you do to much "drifting" and not enough "balling".

Except payton held jordan to his lowest finals average by himself (27.3) vs (32.3 & 33.5) and Utah had to put a small forward on jordan and he still busted them up while having the flu. Kemp & Payton are 2-1 vs Stockton & Malone with Utah one series victory happening in Payton's second year and Kemp's third year versus the well seasoned combination of Stockton & Malone. Utah won the first series and that's it. LOL

@paulc43 Are you seriously trying to say that Kemp and Payton were better than Stockton and Malone? You're nuts dude. The Bulls double teamed Stockton with Michael Jordan almost every time he was dribbling the ball down the court, I didn't see them being forced have to do that to Payton. Even Jordan said that Stockton is the toughest S.O.B he had to face in the finals. LOL
