CP3 on John Stockton

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...
I agree. People see things in different ways though. I was just answering your question.

People this upset over a joke?

For as much as CP3 whines, it's hard to differentiate between him making a joke and taking a shot.

I personally thought he took a subtle shot at the legitimacy of Stockton's accomplishments. If he would have said the exact same thing about Magic, I guarantee it would be a conversation somewhere.
