Stockton and Malone, even when they're in wheelchairs.
I dont want to see these legends compete against today's NBA players, but I do really want them to see play again.
Maybe a game for NBA Legends at this year's All Star Weekend?
Would love to see Stockton and Malone against Jordan, Magic, and Hakeem etc.
If the NBA doesn't do it we should do a Jazz one.
Stock, Malone, Eaton, Big T, Golden Griff, Horny, etc.
Would be a lot of fun.

I'm not sure why some of you are roughing up the OP. I'd never do such a thing. Anyway, my point is he was just speaking outloud. No big deal. And do I think they'd be upgrades? Yes, but Malone doesn't have the height we need vs. the Lakers.
They used to have legends games at All-Star weekends, but to many guys got hurt shockingly
I think the rookie vs Sophomore game replaced it. The defense in that game is amazing. Malone could still whip most guys out there probably.Okay, I'll take the bait. Both of them would struggle. If you remember, Stockton's last few years he didn't play much defense and got lit up by guys like Marbury. Paul, Wall, Rose, and any quick point guard would blow by him. At this point, on defense Stockton would be a huge liability. On offense, I'm sure he would get the offense set up, would make some nice passes, but in the open court he may have a lot of trouble with quicker guards and I think it would be painful to watch.
Malone would get some rebounds, could shoot his 15-18 foot jumper but would get nothing inside. He would elbow a few people and against the Lakers, maybe he could get into a fight with Artest, but I think that would be the biggest contribution he would make.
I'm the biggest Stockton and Malone fan there is on the board, I watched them their entire careers and loved their games. The point is that basketball is a game where success is predicated on foot speed, jumping ability, quickness, and shooting accuracy. I'm sure they have the shooting ability, but the other things left them about 10 years ago.....
