John Stockton’s Iconic Game-Worn Jersey: A Testament to Greatness
The Legacy of John Stockton
In the annals of basketball history, few names resonate with the same reverence as John Stockton. Renowned as perhaps the best passer in NBA history, Stockton’s career is a testament to excellence and durability. He retired holding a plethora of assists records, including the career mark of 15,806 assists. His defensive prowess was equally formidable, leading the league in steals twice and retiring as the all-time leader with 3,265 steals. Stockton’s unwavering commitment to the game is further underscored by his team’s playoff appearances in each of his 19 seasons, with Stockton playing all 82 games for 17 of those seasons.
