CP3 on John Stockton

[fishonjazz]

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.

No. I don't think people are upset

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.

To catch Stockton somebody needs to take care of their body like Stockton did and play as long as he did. .

No one will catch him. It's a different game now.

Clearly a joke, nothing to see here.

Still a turd though.

CP's missed more games just this season than Stockton missed in his 19 year career.

I took it as a joke as well but did peak my interests to see what their apg splits were for home and away.
