John Stockton on the Dan Patrick Show

The old Jazz offense would need to be tweaked to allow/encourage more three point shooting, though. That's the main weakness it would have in today's NBA, in my opinion.

Lol. I can still picture the look on Giricek's face after nailing 2 threes in a row and getting benched for it.

At the time, my dad and I had a running joke about a Jerry Sloan 3 pointer: As long as your foot is on the line and it only counts for 2, then you get to stay in the game. Foot behind the line and your *** goes to the bench.
 
I read the autobiography of John a couple years ago. It was actually very very good. Surprisingly, he is very funny and a really interesting guy. He even mentioned that he has a different personality around those close to him, but doesn't like to express himself publicly. His work ethic and mindset were incredible.
 
....yeah, like what? How many leaks he's taken before half-time?
Literally every rookie record in comparison.

Rookie Mitchell > rookie Malone

Mitchell is also 2 years times as a rookie than Malone.

Malone and Stockton were great. Most of what made them great was how long they played at a high level.

Mitchell will be unlikely to have the longevity of Stockton but I think his peak will be higher.
