Bill Bergen for HoF!
Stockton is the perfect point guard in these mocks. He is an accurate shooter, with a higher shooting percentage than most F/Cs. Also accurate from 3. He facilitated better than anyone, and played as smart a game of basketball as there has been. Through his prime, Stockton produced and average of 44 ppg for his team, similar to what guys like LeBron and KD do, Stockton just did it without the ego of having to be the one who shot the ball. He made defenses play the entire floor, as just because he didn’t have to be the one to shoot didn’t mean he couldn’t.
That doesn’t add that he was a plus defender, which is even more impressive since everyone thinks he wasn’t as athletic as the guys he was covering. Again, he just played the position smarter than most others.
Personally, I like facilitators at PG more than scorers.
