I voted Murphy for the same reason I voted for the Green Party last election. I don't like to see anybody get shut-out.
That video made me cry. I watched two more from the you-tube suggestions--Karl Malone & John Stockton fast break highlights and Karl against Portland.
A couple of take-aways--Karl was good, John was great, and the NBA has changed.
The old illegal defense rules were riduculous, Karl would have used his jumpshot much earlier and more frequently in todays NBA. Of course I also wonder what Stockton would've been like without a handcheck on him all the time.
I noticed that John and Karl were smiling--it looked fun. I don't remember the last time I saw a Jazz player and thought they were having fun.
No player in the league has close to John's passing ability.
Karl was not as quick as I remembered, but he was always in the right place and had good touch on the ball. Kanter has good touch and is sometimes in the right place. I wish Kanter would be more assertive and surly like Karl, not a goofy everybody likes me, like Al.
