John Stockton, the all-time NBA leader in assists and steals, will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame by the second greatest true point guard ever, Isiah Thomas. To put his statistical accomplishments into perspective, he had 15,806 assists and 3,265 steals. The #2 assists leader was Marc Jackson with 10,334 assists and the #2 steals leader was Michael Jordan with only 2,514 steals.

He was an incredibly clutch shooter (watch the highlight videos), a tenacious defender, set picks better than most big men (because he usually cheated) and wore the shortest shorts in modern basketball. He was also selected as one of the 50 greatest basketball players of all time, was co-MVP of the NBA all-star game (he was a 10 time All-Star) and was a member of the original Dream Team - arguably the greatest team in the history of ALL sports. John Stockton was the greatest pure point guard of all time. He was (and still is) my basketball idol and he was always the player I imagined I was when I was playing.

And Jordan still pushed off...



Watch the hand on Brian Russell's ass at the 10 second mark.
