Episode 309: “The Assists King” - John Stockton
Description
Episode 309 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we’re back on the hardwood discussing John Stockton.
Arguably the greatest Point Guard in NBA history. Stockton’s journey to the NBA began in relative obscurity in his hometown of Spokane, Washington.
After four years at Gonzaga in which he was the WCAC Player of the Year in 1984, Stockton then impressed the coaches of the U.S. Olympic Team that summer. Though he didn’t survive the final cut, the Point Guard showed enough promise to be a first round pick in that June’s NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz.
In Utah, Stockton formed a lethal “Pick and Roll” duo with future Hall of Fame teammate, Karl Malone.
During his 19-year career with Utah, Stockton was a 10x All-Star, led the league in assists nine times and became the all-time NBA leader in assists and steals. Though he never won an NBA Title, he did win two Gold Medals as a part of the Olympic teams in 1992 & 1996.
