Malone disses Jordan

Magic was better. Could play all 5 positions. Averaged more assists per game than Stockton. 5 Championships, 3 NBA MVPs. Why is this is even a question. Stockton played 600 more games no wonder he has more assists and steals.

You can argue Stockton as a top 5 point guard, but not a top five any position player. This coming from a guy who rooted for Stock his entire career.

You can argue that Stockton is a top 2 PG.

Perhaps. But Magic was clearly better.

But why would you need someone who can play all 5 positions when you have 3 or 4 other people who can play all 5 positions? why not take a true floor general like stockton? especially when you are karl malone and you had an incredible career which can be directly credited in large part to playing on a well structured team with stockton...

I agree. But I can see someone taking Stockton over Magic depending on the other starting 4.

Edit: For example. Say a starting 5 of Shaq, Malone, Lebron and Jordan. I'd take Stockton over Magic as I think Stockton compliments that group better than Magic does. With those guys on the floor you do not need another scorer.

No one else in the history of the NBA could play all 5 positions and be an All-Star at every one. Magic could.

I completely disagree. Magic is bigger, stronger, better defender, better passer, and won more with better players. Magic is the best all around player ever, and maybe the be glue guy ever. He is PERFECT for a superteam.

Lebrons not worthy being on a top 5 team? That's news to me

I actually saw a video of when TNT did this. They had about 6 guys picking and they had a board of about 60 players (all retired) that they could choose from. There were some damn interesting choices and teams on there.

Just think of all the names and combos you could have on your team.

That's the same video that Charles Barkley took ALLEN IVERSON WITH THE FIRST OVERALL PICK

Fair enough. Debatable.

Yes Magic is a better player than Stockton.

Why are we TALKING IN LOUD NOISES? Does Charles mind numbing pick somehow make the video unwatchable?

Still take Magic. Best all-time assists per game still is the very best choice? Plus he is a winner. 5 titles. Won over 74% of his playoff games.

I just think Stockton fits my mold better. I never claimed he is better I just like him better for his style of play. With Lebron, Jordan, Malone and Shaq you have enough high profile showboaters.
