Surprisingly Awesome Jazz Statistics

Going to repeat this:

Neto, Hood, Hayward, Favors, and Gobert was the eighth most effective lineup in the NBA of units that played at least 300 minutes together last season.
 
John Stockton had more than 16 assists in 231 games. He had more than 26 assists 3 times. He had more than 6 steals 63 times.
Nitpick: Should read '16 or more assists', '26 or more assists', and '6 or more steals'. As written, your numbers are incorrect.

In the regular season, Stock had:
16 or more assists 210 times
26 or more assists 3 times
6 or more steals 62 times

In the regular season and playoffs, Stock had:
16 or more assists 231 times
26 or more assists 3 times
6 or more steals 64 times
 
Distribution of Stock's career assists (incl. playoffs):

It would be surprisingly awesome to see an overlay on this graph of guys like Magic, Chris Paul, Isiah, etc. Get on it.
Yeah, although overlapping bar graphs isn't the way to go. Might do multi-color line graphs of top point guards in a few days; I can't afford to procrastinate any more today.

1. So...Kidd has a bunch more games of 10 assists or fewer than Stock. None of these guys touch Stock in games with more than 10 assists.
2. I don't think it's a coincidence that there's a huge drop-off from 10 to 11 assists for Kidd and CP3. Dudes are trying to get those double-doubles and triple-doubles...Boler would be proud.


Note: Isiah, Magic and the Big O aren't included because basketball reference only has assist data back to 1983/84. Mark Jackson isn't included because **** that guy.
Note #2: Data from basketball reference...
 
Nice work. The nature of of what is being measured makes it looks like Kidd was more awesome than he was, though. If you added someone who hardly ever got an assist they would look even better than him because their far left plot points would be really high.
