John Stockton
John Stockton spent his entire 19-season NBA career with the Utah Jazz from 1984 to 2003, becoming one of the greatest point guards in league history. Selected 16th overall in the 1984 NBA Draft, Stockton’s game was defined by precision, court vision, and unselfishness. He holds NBA records for both career assists (15,806) and steals (3,265)—marks that may never be broken.
Stockton formed a legendary partnership with Karl Malone, running the pick-and-roll to perfection and turning the Jazz into perennial contenders. Together, they led Utah to consistent playoff success, including back-to-back NBA Finals appearances in 1997 and 1998. Although they never captured a championship, Stockton’s leadership and clutch play earned widespread respect across the league.
A 10-time All-Star and 11-time All-NBA selection, Stockton was known for his durability, rarely missing games despite his physical style of play. He also represented the United States as part of the original 1992 “Dream Team” that dominated the Barcelona Olympics.
Quiet, tough, and fiercely competitive, Stockton let his game speak for itself. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009, cementing his legacy as one of the most efficient and impactful players in NBA history.
