CP3 on John Stockton

The question is would he have questioned the assists leader if it were a black guy? I don't think he would... but... then again maybe it was just an off-the-cuff comment and he meant it as a compliment since Stockton's numbers are so gaudy.

I'm not sure if his handling of the Donald Sterling situation helps CP3's "Is he racist?" argument or hurts it.

Feel like it should be considered though.

What was his handling of it?
 
A day or two ago I was thinking about how wonderful it was to have two players and a coach (Stockton, Malone, Sloan) who were three amazingly tough guys who did what it took to win and were team-first.

Sure - they all had talent but the grit, focus and tenacity of them all (including Sloan when he played) is amazing and although I was a kid watching them I didn't fully appreciate how exceptional it was to maintain that season-after-season.

And, as someone mentioned in the Twitter thread, Stockton's home vs road assist #'s are comparable - 10.9 vs 10.1.

Guess who else averages .8 more assists at home over his career? That's right Chris Paul.

Chris mentioning John and trying to infer there was home cooking is like getting blown out by 50 and then saying the ref missed a couple calls and that's why you lost... which is 100% something Chris would do.

Chris has played 82 games in a season exactly once his career. Stockton did it 16 times... Prolly didn't mean to take a shot at the king, but you can tell he and others don't necessarily respect Stockton's greatness... the best part is Stockton gives zero effs... none.

I never liked Chris Paul, but I took the stat keeping comment as a joke. People on this board are nuts.

Yeah, like he's in total awe. But that would be way more boring than discussing if Chrissy hates white ballers.

I think it came from straightlines mind. Probably because cp3 is in 8th place meaning 7 guys have more assists than him but he only questions the accuracy of the stats of one of those 7 guys and that guy happens to be white.
He could have questioned the accuracy of statistics during that entire era rather the accuracy of the statistics for one individual player.
Or he could have questioned the accuracy of the stats recorded for magic Johnson for example.

I know that there is a perception that white guys are not as good at basketball as black guys (for good reason since it's true) and maybe it hurts a guys pride more to be beaten by a white guy.

John is extremely separated from the rest of the assist leaders by sheer totals. I took it as an off the cuff — “he’s so far in front of everyone” comment. I didn’t really see a race thing at all...
 
To catch Stockton somebody needs to take care of their body like Stockton did and play as long as he did. One thing is average number of assists but the other thing is games played. None of these sissies now can stay on the floor long enough to catch John. Paul already missed 160 games ( X 9.7 ast. average would give him 1552 assists to move him into 3d place all time just behind J.Kidd) more than Stockton and for sure he is not playing until he is 40. So he needs to shut his stupid mouth, do some math and understand the real reasons why he will never catch up John.
