I put Stockton Hgiher than Kobe
Kobe is volume, consistency and longevity
But the the highest ranked all-time stat he has is 2nd all time missed shots
(more than any of the other top 10 all time scorers)

Stockton (who went to College)
Has a ridiculousl lead in all time Assists
All time Steals Leader
thas two #1
and had career 51.5 FG%

If in some parrellet universe stockton had been transported trhough time and played with Shaq
in Shaq's time,
that would have been a Nightmare

Interesting, I like to separate players into position and not compare overall, but I give the nod to Jordan, even though I love Stockton's game and hate Jordan's pushoff and wins over us. I did like him because of his name. I liked Michael Jackson because of his face, just kidding, I don't look like him.

Darn lockout year! Stockton would have over 16,000 assists if not for that.

But look at the numbers after his knee surgery - they go from 10.5 (pre-surgery) to 8.5 (after surgery) to 7.5 assists (lockout). Maybe if he hadn't had the knee problem it would have been 10.5 to 10.0 to 9.5, etc.

Yes, I know, what if Magic didn't have HIV/AIDS, etc. (Not singling out Magic, just acknowledging that I know that others have illnesses and injuries that affect their career. It goes for points, too - what if Jordan's father wasn't killed. Chamberlain said he wouldn't have retired if he thought someone would catch his record. What if he were more paranoid? We wouldn't have seen the 8 assists per game season, just more of the scoring.) Not interested in comparisons, just wondering how the total numbers would change.

Here are Stockton's worst streaks (most of them lasted only 2-3 games:

0-8 (0%) in '87 and '90.
1-12 (8.3%) in a '99 playoff win (14 assists and 12 points)
2-15 (13.3%) in '01.
2-14 (14.3%) in '99
3-18 (16.7%) in '97
4-22 (18.2%) in '96
3-16 (18.8%) in '99
4-21 (19.0%) in '92
4-20 (20.0%) in '01
6-29 (20.7%) in '96
5-21 (23.8%) in '03
8-32 (25.0%) in '92
4-15 (26.7%) in '98, '00, '01
6-22 (27.3%) in '93
6-21 (28.6%) in '00
8-27 (29.6%) in '00
7-22 (31.8%) in '94
9-25 (36.0%) in '02

As you can tell, Stockton never had an extended streak of bad shooting games, as his worst over 30 is 25% and the worst over 25 is 20.7%. All of the ones we have in the previous threads are 40+ shots. So if I add the game after the worst extended streak, that leads to 16-46, which is 34.8%. Or the game before the worst extended streak, it would be 14-42 (33.3%). In the 6-29 streak, he shot 11-12 right before the streak, which would make it 17-41 (41.5%) and 5-11 after the streak, which would make that 11-40 (27.5%).

Stockton shot 50% or greater in 60.4% of his games. Granted he didn't shoot a lot and a lot of the games were right at 50%. That's impressive to me. Not sure where to rank this as I haven't done this for anyone else. I imagine Shaq is higher and other centers, but for a PG, this has to be high. His best season for 50% or over games was his fourth season with 61 games meeting that criteria. His low was the lockout year at 26/50 games.

John Stockton: He Giveth and He Taketh Away

Check out JJ Hickson's streak.

He's shooting 108-164 (65.9%) in the last 18 games (consecutive over 50%)(still going). Dwight Howard holds the record for consecutive 50% or above games since 1986 at 31.

Stockton had 24 from 2/17/1988 - 04/05/1988.

LeBron has a 12-game streak going. Tyson Chandler has a lot of these streaks, his current is 21.

Loving this streak-finder thing - Rajon Rondo matched Stockton's record of 37 games in a row with at least 10 assists. Both players did it bridging two seasons. Stockton had more at the end of 1988-89 season (27) and Rondo had more at the start of 2013. Rondo's streak ended well before his injury and Rondo's last game this season was a triple double. Magic had 20, all in one season. Stockton had 27 in one season, three years in a row (but one was in the previous 37 game streak).

Rondo had 28 of 11+ in a row and Stockton had 27. (Magic had 12).
Stockton had 15 games in arrow with 12+ and Rondo had 11.(Magic had 11).
Stockton had 14 games in a row with 13+ and Rondo had 5.(Magic had 11).
Stockton had 14 games in a row with 14+ and Rondo had 3 (Magic had 11).
Stockton had 12 games in a row with 15+ and Rondo had 3 (Magic had 6).
Stockton had 9 games in a row with 16+ and Rondo had 2 (Magic had 3).
Stockton had 5 games in a row with 17+ and Rondo had 2 (Magic had 3).
Stockton had 5 games in a row with 18+ and Rondo had 0 (Magic had 2).
Stockton had 4 games in a row with 18+ and Rondo had 0 (Magic had 0). Deron Williams had 2.
Stockton has had consecutive 20+ games 7 different times.
Stockton has had consecutive 21+ games 3 different times.

Stockton has had 24 games of 20 or more assists. He's had one game of 28, 27, and 26 assists. The record is 30 by Scott Skiles.

Stockton also has the record of 29 and 26 consecutive games of 2+ steals.

Alvin Robertson is the Stockton of Steals, though.
He had 105 games in a row with at least one steal. Chris Paul had 104 and 84. Jordan was fourth with 77 games. Stockton was 16th with 41.
He had 15 games of 3+ and 11 games of 4+ and 6 of 5+ and 6+.

He and Stockton have consecutive games of 7+ (a few others do too). He also has 2 games in a row of 8+. Michael Ray Richardson is the only one else to have done that.

MHSL82, didn't you post streaks about Stockton's shooting? Such as he never had more than X many bad games in a row?

Can you bump that post? The robot can't remember where it was.

I've copied and pasted them to this thread, now. I can't push it to after this thread without re-posting them. I can do that later. I also copied and pasted my stats on assists and steals streaks.
