      the stat that makes me hate the jazz is they were the only team from 1970 until the 2018 cavs to lose a rematch in the finals between the same two teams like the 72 73 lakers knicks 78 79 bullets sonics 84 85 lakers celtics 88 89 lakers pistons 2013 spurs heat and 2015 2016 cavs warriors and the 2018 cavs did not have kyrie as we know so it was not the same team so I give them a pass....what is the jazz's excuse?...they were the same team....they actually lost a game by 1 point smdh..in a rematch?...give me a break...of these 7 times to be the only one not to win a ring is sad....they were the 60's lakers lol...and 2017-2018 cavs of their time...and 02-03 nets

He never even averaged half those assists before the system was put in place during his first few years at the Jazz. Also in College he was more a scorer that could actually shoot pretty well.

      @Jared Taylor Stockton was certainly better than Magic in the 1988 playoffs, where he outplayed him over a 7 game series.
      The Lakers escaped, but that returns to the point: Magic played on loaded teams in a massive market.

    • @keplerconcept5287
      @keplerconcept5287 Před 4 lety +33

      @Jared Taylor As far as skillset, Stockton was better than Magic in: shooting, especially from range, quickness/first step, defensive ability (a blowout) and arguably passing/ballhandling.
      Certainly the numbers support all of this, including the ballhandling/passing numbers that show Stockton was a full assist better on A/TO ratio, even while 1) playing with much lesser overall talent outside of Malone and 2) spending the majority of his career in halfcourt sets, rather than the wider, easier lanes that Magic enjoyed in the open court thanks to Showtime and overall roster talent.
      The reason these subjects aren't discussed is because Magic is treated like a figure of worship -- and therefore is never really analyzed as far as skillset -- and Stockton is either ignored or brought up as a figure of derision by lying shills like Stephen A Smith.
      But ironically your post drives that home: your entire post amounts to little more than blind worship or Magic, and offhand dismissal of Stockton.
      Lame.

      Jackson hates Stockton, and was deluded enough to believe that he was the better Point; Jackson attempted to turn the locker room against Stockton, and insisted that he should be the starter.

    Stockton is underrated because the league is always about scoring and athleticism. Stockton wasnt the most spectacular player. He was just effective... maybe more so than any other player. And that shows in the Jazz' record for about 20 years.... they are consistantly great. Isiah was great but why on earth would I take him on point over Stockton when Stockton is better in almost every important stat but scoring... plus he was a great teammate, selfless and had a crazy high basketball IQ... I actually think he could have scored a lot more with his great shooting skills but it just wasnt necessary because they played so effective... they just took the easy high percentage plays.

He only ever proved 1 season of been truly solid without him at the Bulls which was the 93/94 season. But even then he was average in the 2nd round of the playoffs against the Knicks. The following season he wasn't able to come close to replicating that very impressive form which also happened to be the season Horace Grant left to join Shaq and Penny in Orlando. Funny that. Was he important, absolutely. But that was more so during the 1st 3 peat with Horace Grant and BJ Armstrong. During the 2nd 3 peat however he was a huge liability offensively during the playoffs. That is why Kukoc was so important as the 6th man coming off the bench. At the end of the day he wasn't ever a player you build a Championship winning team around.

In that era of NBA basketball, if you went inside the lane to the basket, you may get hit or you may not, but more than likely you were going to get hit. Being the player that Isaiah was, he should have known this. Knowing how he is, I'm sure he did and probably did it on purpose to try and start a brawl or something to that effect.

      @Wilt Chamberlain GOD of NBA Mark Eaton was an all-star in 89'. Only yr Stockton/Malone had a 3rd current all-star if my memory's right? Eaton actually had a decent left-handed hook shot; not saying he was a great offensive player, but he was to blocked shots what Sally Fields was to assists. Their offense never revolved around a center anyways. Experience? Sally was in her 5th season in 89', the Mailman in his 4th. Even in Sally's 1st 3 seasons as a backup, she was getting tons of experience playing behind 1x all-star Rickey Green, and she had had 4yrs of college. They were both all-stars that yr, and both in their primes.
      Malone had already become a decent free throw shooter, was more athletic than later on in his career. Sally led the league in assists for the 2nd consecutive season, something she didn't do in either of the Jazz' 2 trips to the Finals later on. She was amidst her apex 17/14 campaigns in 89', at age 27. The only point guard who may have been a tad better than Sally in 89' was Magic, and that'd be only cause of the rebounds. Thurl Bailey was a better small forward in 89' than anybody the Jazz ever had at small forward in the Stockton/Malone era. Darrell Griffith that yr was the best 4th option they ever had, averaging 14ppg, about what Hornacek would avg as a 3rd option in Stockton/Malone's late prime. The mid to late 90s Jazz may have been just a hair better than the 89' Jazz, cause they had a deeper bench, but the 89' Jazz had their best ever defensive team, actually better than what the Bad Boy Pistons had that yr, who won the championship. They only won 'only' 51 games, but it was the yr pre-expansion 2x over in Stockton/Malone's prime, as there were a lot of talent-heavy teams that yr. The Warriors won 43 games that yr, and actually had more firepower than your avg 7-seed, but a 2-seed still shouldn't lose to a 7-seed. The Jazz lost because they failed to control the tempo against a vintage Don Nelson fastbreaking squad (so much for 'fastbreaking doesn't work in the playoffs'). It was an upset any way you slice it up.
