"A lot of people compare @CP3 to Isiah Thomas but I think he's similar to Stockton. They get everyone involved throughout the game.... rarely shoot the ball, but when they do they rarely miss. Leaders and of course feisty as h-e double hockey sticks!"

A nice complement to both great players.

He's a better scorer than Stockton was, which I think is why he is more often compared to Thomas, a guy who could score at a high rate while simultaneously be an elite floor general.
 
Fairly spot on, CP3 is a better scorer, however I still think that Stockton in todays NBA would score much more with how the 3 pointer has changed and the how the rules have changed as well

Maybe, it's just not in his nature to shoot a lot. He never averaged over 12 shots a game even though he should have shot way more.

No way Paul is a better scorer. Stockton was the greatest pure pg to play the game, and it's not even close. He was so good at controlling and taking over a game by simply running an offense that he didn't feel a need to score, plus it didn't hurt that he played with the best offensive 4 of all time. Simply put he was a more efficient scorer and better shooter then Paul, but because he was such a good playmaker, he relied on it more then scoring for himself. He could've scored 22-24 a game if he had wanted to.

Did he really say "h-e double hockey sticks!" What a douche.
