Never won a ring, but had a HOF, stellar career. Cases could be made for several PGs (Magic, Isaiah, Kidd, Nash, etc.). What yall think?

Nah but hes inthe penthouse of pointguards in the HOF though

nahhhh....Him and Nash are big byproducts of the system they were in imo. I just feel like dudes like Magic, Isiah, etc would be great anywhere in any system.
-
nahhhh....Kidd>>>Stockton
In his prime could give you a triple double any night, a better defender and carried the NEW JERSEY NETS to the finals twice, with Kenyon Martin as his 2nd best player -
nahhhh....John Stockton was the system. He was a all around great PG. My thing is he had one of the greatest PF to play with him.
Magic and Isiah Thomas were better PG but they also had each other to gauge their talents. John Stockton really didnt have a (media) rival, per se. Gary Payton, Kevin Johnson, Tim Hardaway, were his counterparts (I know I missed some). -
nahhhh....Top 5

Stockton is slept on.He was a white chris paul(without the floppin).He hit this crucial jumper to save the jazz season they were down 1 with 7 seconds left in the game and down 2-1 in the series. -
nahhhh....Magic then Oscar Robertson

nahhhh....Stockton has many strong points. Unselfish, never got hurt, played FOREVER, a knockdown shooter, and was a relentless houdning (albeit ? ) defender. But he gets overrated alot IMO because of his assist record and longevity. At his peak, he couldn't take over games or lead a team like other PGs of his time. I mean, in his prime was he really that much better (or better at all), than Payton, KJ, both Hardaways or even Price? I don't see a huge difference, just that he played longer and also played with arguably the goat PF when it comes to stats.. My problems with Stockton are as follows, and I hope a Stockton supporter can break them down...
- Always a second option
-Never seemed to take over games, just played in the "flow" (he never scored over 35 points in a game ever, thats just insane)
- Jazz lost 8 or so first round matchups in the postseason
- While he has the assist record, I don't think he was a better passer than Magic, Kidd, Nash, or even Bird to name a few. Made the sound fundamental passes but never really wowed me with his playmaking
- Has some clutch moments, but a lot of choke jobs in the playoffs... A lot times the Jazz would be dying for some points down the stretch, and Malone would be forced to try and take over. Malone got the heat for being a choker, but Stockton would rarely assert himself in the last minutes of games -

Don't do this b.
And hell na John Stockton aint the best PG, he's not even top 5 b.

Isaiah is the best point guard but he's definitely one of the all time greats and I have no problems with him being Top 5 all time. He wasn't a prolific scorer but he could get everybody on the court looks and was one of the smartest dudes ever to play the game
-
nahhhh....Magic.
-
nahhhh....I can't even think of one epic Stockton moment. Magic had that game 6 when he played center, Isiah had that 40+ point playoff game, etc. What was Stockton's epic moment?
-
WHAT?! The Cheap Seats ain't got no love for John Stockton, and his all time passing?? Y'all don't love us him?
