2. John Stockton
This is like what came first the chicken or the egg. Who made who Stockton or Malone? Honestly they should both be 1. Stockton owns both the steals and assists records for the NBA and I’m pretty sure nobody will ever come close to beating them. Stockton played the point guard better than anyone and only Magic should ever be said in the same breath. Stockton was the real definition of “point” guard as he made the entire team better every night. Him and Malone were the two hardest working players in the NBA and brought it every game. They were rarely injured and played every game of every season almost.
There will never be another John Stockton… ever!
