Stockton's minutes played = 18. Still good, but no chance that happens if he evens plays 25 minutes.

Don't mind these 4 other games where Stockton played 41, 36, 31, and 42 minutes respectively......
Tyrone just give up. You had an opinion. Turns out your opinion didn't match the facts. We are all wrong once in a while. Don't be David Locke and continue to argue.
Ha!
I wasn't try to argue that Malone's achievements weren't valid. I was just saying that one game it wouldn't have happened if Stockton would have played more minutes. I didn't know I had to go through and address each game and give my diagnosis on it buddy.

The actual criteria outlined by Elias Sports Bureau (https://espn.go.com/espn/elias) was to lead both teams outright in points, rebounds and assists in the same game.
So...
In the 5 games listed (by the way nice work prodigy) there was an opposing player who either equaled or bested Malone in either pts, reb or ast.
Both feats are impressive - but it definitely widens the parameters when you discount leading "both teams outright." (example: Carlos Boozer in 2009-10: https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201001140UTA.html)

Surely you can't be serious?
Watch what you're saying to my pal, friend!
How do you figure?

He was serious, and don't call him Shirley.
He's not your friend, hoss.
Jefferson's improved his passing. That's good. I have seen no actual improvement anywhere else (a factor in transition whatsoever, gets to the line, actually trying to make a play if a player gets a step on him faced up). If the Jazz weren't a go-nowhere collection of vets with a promising glut of young players and assets (particularly bigs), I would be fine with keeping Al. He's good and he seems like a good dude.
I see defensive improvement here and there. Didn't Earl say one game that Jefferson has started being the vocal on-court defensive leader? He lacks consistency on the defensive end, because I think his stamina is sub-par, which leads to cases of lead feet. He definitely needs to be brought in later in the 2nd and 4th (6 minutes left at most), and taken out earlier in the 1st and 3rd (4 minutes left).
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to TroutBum again.
You may be right, but I attribute the majority of any defensive improvements on an improved and simpler defensive scheme (force baseline). I haven't really noticed an increased effort level, but having defensive rotations and rules that start to even resemble sensicality helps.
It just seems like at the heart of most failed defensive sets, his not moving his feet is the heart of it a lot of the time.

His best would be second place. Nobody will ever take that title from Boozer.
