CP3 on John Stockton

Alfalfa said:
Well, Malone is the best PF of all time, and he could score in a way that perfectly complimented Stockton's shooting/passing ability. Sorry!

Like I said, Stockton was great. Just not an all time great. CP in Stockton's place would've done just as well.

Your limitations on comparability while at the same time comparing is stupid. If you can shove CP into Stock's place and say what would happen, it's stupid that you can't shove someone else into Karl's place and say what would happen.
Sorry!

You can by looking at their skillset. What does Stockton do at an elite level that Paul wouldn't be able to?

Pass for more than 12 assists per game for 8 years in a row.
Play for 16 seasons without missing a game.
Instead of crying that he got fouled, maybe dig deep and get them the next time. There's a reason some of us refer to that "John Stockton game face".
Stock was a better passer, not flashier. He put the ball where different players wanted a pass, would be more effective with it, and could make a play with it after the pass. I honestly think he was the best ever at doing this.
Choose his shots and spots more efficiently, both from 3 and 2.
Put fear into opposing players when they have to set a pick against him. Even big guys didn't want to set a pick against Stock.

I could go on and on.

Plus Stock made the Finals. Twice.

I do not believe this at all. I find it silly you do. Cp3 is vastly overrated

Wow. Can’t believe we’re here arguing John Stockton’s greatness. This might be an all time low for this site.

And how did Karl Malone help him with becoming the all time leader in steals exactly? Arguably a more impressive feat than leading in assists.

No one is arguing anything, what's happening here is the troll is winning.

Dude, come on! I watched pretty much Stockton's whole career and you could not be more wrong. Stock is DEFINITELY an all-time great. Not even gonna elaborate on why because it would take me half the evening.
 
I guess Joe Montana wasn’t an all time great either because he could throw to Jerry Rice. After all, you could just sub in Joe Flacco and he would do just as well as Montana.

Great YouTube find! Two best quotes describing the overall skill level and basketball brains of John Stockton? Nick Van Excell once said: "The ONLY way of stopping the Stockton to Malone pick & roll is to bring a baseball bat to the game.....and kill one of them!" 2nd best quote about John Stockton was Karl Malone himself when asked why he doesn't leave the Jazz and play for another team? He said: "If I leave the Jazz then I'm playing with another point guard who when he gets the ball, I don't know whether he's going to get the ball to me or throw it in the stands! When I'm playing with Stockton, I'm going to know EXACTLY where the ball is going to be and when it's going to get there!"
 
Every all time great played with other greats or all time greats for major moments in their careers.

Russell played with half of the hall of famers of his era
Wilt played with Jerry West
Bird played with McHale and Parrish
Magic played with Kareem and Worthy
Stockton played with Malone
Jordan played with Pippen and Rodman
Hakeem played with Clyde
Duncan played with Robinson and Ginobli
Kobe played with Shaq and Pau
Wade played with Shaq and LeBron
Steph played with KD

You have to have another great player with you in order to do anything significant. The only outlier is the Pistons team but every single player on that team was a specialist who complimented everyone perfectly in that run they had.
