Serious Question: Might Kendall Marshall be the one to break Stocks assist record?

[CitizenofCapua]

I think its going to happen and Kendall Marshal will brake Stockton's record and will say this;

"I know that the Jazz had a guard earlier who held the most assists record for a long time and I didn’t get a call by them 20 years ago, so I kind of felt a certain about that."

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Marshall has such a small sample size right now, it's ridiculous, absurd, disrespectful, and insulting to suggest he might be better than Stockton.

The OP never suggested he would or that he's a better guard. And he's definitely not saying Marshall will be better. Get off your self made pedestal!

Haha. Love the question... I love everyone going crazy. Just a what if senario...

A while back I argued in the Marshall vs Rivers thread (I all of a sudden look good as that thread goes right now) that Marshall was an elite passer, and the best passer to come out in a long time. Now he finds himself in Mike D'Antoni's system, and suppose they anoint him the long term answer at pg. he's averaged double digit assists for about ten games, and say he does this the rest of the year. Marshall doesn't rely on speed and athletic ability, he looks like he could play for a long time with his style of play. Stockton averaged 4-5 assists the first 3-4 years of his career. I'm not saying or even think Marshall will break Stocktons mark....

Bishes.... Records were made to be broken, and this paints the picture that this is a valid question, and not a disgrace to the great John Stockton. Think about it... Say someone breaks his record many years from now, it would be a small reminder to the world the greatness that was John Stockton, How great is that one last reminder to the rest of the sports world what we will never forget. Again Records were made to be broken!

I am ok with someone eventually breaking Stockton's record but I just don't think it is going to happen. It is one of the records that might stand the test of time like Ty Cobb's 511 wins. However, the wrath from Stockton's fans is justified considering the small sample size that Marshall has played. Remember Stockton played behind Ricky Green so his assist totals would have been higher if he started right away. Another issue is when Stockton played the NBA was the WWF, hand-checking and rassl'n was allowed. I can only imagine how many more assists he would have had.

What Marshall has done is certainly note-worthing considering how he was left for dead but come on it is only 10 games. So I think it is too early to tell but I highly doubt Marshall will last as long in the NBA as Stockton unless he improves his shot. However, a lot (not just the Jazz) GMs look silly for cutting him.

This thread ****ing sucks. It's like me running a 40 yard dash and saying "You know what, if I can keep this pace up, I bet I can beat the marathon world record."

If you replace Marathon with Ultra-Marathon you would be closer.

How is it disrespectful regardless of the sample size?

Marshall was considered a prodigy of sorts as a passing pg coming into the draft, and was picked in the lotto solely on his ability to pass the basketball, and never really got a chance, then out of the blue Marshall is called from the D-league, and has done nothing but put up huge assist totals since his first game this year. He's putting up numbers I figure Stockton would've put up had he not been a backup to a player like Ricky Green.

What does this mean? It means that people will ask questions such as these. There's no disrespect. I appreciate the question, because I get a sence of pride in being reminded that one of the greats played for my team.

No one said Marshall was better or even as good, and seartaintly no one even said he would. So get over it.

By the way I'm still a Marshall fan.

u still a fan of supplyin links after spreadin false accusations w/ no apologies bro?

Ty Cobb's 511 wins.

eh?

 

[Batman]

Hey dumbass!!! This is basically the first chance he's gotten real minutes and already getting 11 assists a game. It's not hard to imagine him doing that if he were to continue to start, assuming Marshall does this all year. It's not like Stockton did that in year 1 or 2.

haha I'd recommend an advanced study which centers on proportional response.
Bro, you are a moron. Stockton's record is one of the most unbreakable records in sports. Not only would Marshall have to average +10 assists for much of his career, but he would also have to stay healthy too. Remember, Stockton didn't miss a whole lot of games. You know, quintessence of douche bagism, it is pretty silly to take this notion seriously: Kendall Marshall, a recent D-leaguer, is now poised to break Stockton's assist record after seeing a sample size of 10 or so games. We should talk scrupulously about how it is indeed a legit possibility haha. If Jason Kidd and Steve Nash could not do it, I can't seem to fathom how Marshall could, but then again, you are an emotional man who often neglects logic and civilized social interaction because you are pissed about something all of the time.

Hey, Vermin, you stepped into the forbidden zone, the holy grail of Jazzfanz, John Stockton's assist record.

Cy Young, Cobb had the hits record until Pete Rose broke it.

....it's not that he stepped into the "forbidden zone" of Jazzfanz (although he did!) but to suggest some D-League guy who's played all of 10 games (or less than 50) in the NBA who happened to have a couple of decent games with double digit assists, going on to break Stockton's assist record is like suggesting Dennis Rodman is the "most handsome man in the world" or Russell Wilson has more football brains than Peyton Manning or the weather in Seattle is better than in South Carolina! By the way, Stockton has another record that won't ever be broken.....all time steals! Who's the closest right now to that record?
