Stockton was quicker than he was fast.
Darft Jimmer Fredette.
- Thread starter David Stern
- Start date
What the hell are you talking about? He was a blur in the open court, he could sustain it 48 minutes, and he could burn you off the dribble. He played like that for over 10 years. What?

Buddy, the proof is in the pudding. The NBA and NFL is dominated by African Americans. Nothing wrong with it. Just the way it is. Deron, Paul, Rose, Westbrook, Felton......would eat Jimmer alive. No way he could play in the NBA.

Like I said, Stock was quicker than he was fast. You can burn by people if you're quick. With that being said, Stockton wasn't a blur you speak of. I bet at the time he played, Stockton couldn't beat half the starting PGs in the league in a coast to coast court race. Steve Nash is another guy who's quicker than he is fast, although I think Stockton was faster.

What proof? Has Jimmer played in the NBA?
...?
So your point is that for all intents and purposes, Stockton had more speed than the people guarding him?

No it's because he is slow and not a good defender. He can shoot and that's it, so could Jaycee Carrol.

No. My point is Stockton was quicker than he was fast. It's not hard for an NBA PG to get a step on his defender if you're quick, but it doesn't make you a "blur" or fast. Sorry dude, but Stockton wasn't the fastest guy. You're lying to yourself if you think otherwise, guy.

Jaycee Carrol was never drafted and never played in the NBA. That's a poor comparison. Steve Nash is slow and he's not a good defender, he must suck too.
Your point is trash and makes no practical sense. You just practically agreed with me. If Stockton - in game - is faster than the person guarding him and can stay in front of almost anyone, who ****ing cares if he can beat them in a x-distance race that isn't a game?
