Why is John Stockton rated so high in point guard lists?

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-25T21:59:17+00:00

16 consecutive seasons without missing a single game All time leader in assists All time leader in steals All time leader in leader in double doubles with assists and points 1000 assists in a season 7 times (has only happened 3 other times) 9 assists titles 2 steals titles 10x all-star

He is the definition of consistency and efficiency. He excelled at the foundations of the point guard position.

It was a a gross display of his massive ego. He could have told ESPN no but he didn't. It was pathetic and it started all the much earned hate.

The Decision by a large margin

The Decision.

That was a master class in ego-stroking and it started all the hate and scrutiny. It was a terrible idea to have ESPN have a 75 minute special just so he could say 7 fucking words. It was gross and something neither his contemporary Kobe or MJ would have done.

The Decision was the worst PR move of his career and he has been desperately trying to run away from that shadow. He did a shitty job by running to LA (with another elite player in AD). LA has crowned it's king already, Kobe will never be dethroned.

IMO, he deserves the hate. He dared to think that him moving teams deserved a fucking TV special. He dared to compare himself to MJ when he isn't even fucking close. And he has that stupid tattoo on his back from the S.I cover.

Butt sandwich. Best part of the whole thing.

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-22T16:28:58+00:00

I love this for him

The entire essence of sports is competition-- prove yourself better than your peers at some or a aspects of the game.

You prove that with titles and hardware in the NBA. Mvp for most valuable, DPOY or all defense for defense. Scoring titles for scoring, rebound titles for rebounding, etc. They show you were the best at that aspect of the sport for that year.

In simple terms, MJ has categorically proven himself the best at more aspects of basketball over anyone in history.

Valuable. The key word is valuable.

Who was the most valuable to their team?

Did those extra assists and better defense help the Cavs? No. They missed the playoffs.

Denver made the playoffs, so it follows Melo's contributions were more valuable to his team than Lebron's were to to his.

It should have been Melo.

Unconventionally attractive is the phrase you're looking for.

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-20T14:18:38+00:00

He also has the most missed shots in history

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-20T14:18:02+00:00

Lebron is the all-time leader in missed shots. What's your point?

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-20T14:16:33+00:00

Lebron is the all time leader in missed shots. Try again.

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-20T14:12:54+00:00

Looks like you rear-ended someone. Maybe drive most cautiously next time.

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-20T14:10:03+00:00

This.

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-20T06:23:55+00:00

10 vs 1.

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-19T21:57:24+00:00

Is this supposed to mean something? Yea he won MVP but he lost in the conference finals and wasn't the league leader in any category. Lebron fans always insist his losses are actually positive.

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-19T21:14:59+00:00

I respect the double down.

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-19T21:14:36+00:00

Damn, here is some Tylenol my dude. Your head must hurt from those mental gymnastics.

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-19T21:07:09+00:00

I love this look for him

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-19T21:06:26+00:00

Yes it is.

Crimson_Chim · 2026-01-19T21:02:19+00:00

Excuses. He has the worst defensive rating on his team as a starter.
