Suns vs. Lakers

Criteria of a PG

Great transition basketball
Quick to the basket

hate to say it... magic number 1, stockton clear number 2.
 
Calm down, dont judge me. Ive seen lots of game tape...more than you might believe...:tongue:

Not judging you sorry man. Just by seeing your age I wasnt sure if you saw them play. I not saying Stockton wasnt great but Magic and Isiah a notch better IMO. If Stockton didnt have Karl I dont think he would been as successful.
 
Okay, now the things that make a Point Gaurd important....

NBA Records:

Keep in mind Stockton never had near the supporting cast that Magic

I could go on and on all night about the things that Stockton did.
I never said he was a better player than Magic, that would be ludicrous, but a Point Guard.....:err:
 
Stockton was great Im not doubting that. Stockton played for 19 years and Magic played 12 yrs. Stockton played more years then any NBA player ever I think. When you play that long and your good of course you are going to break those record eventually.
 
Lakers could of had Barbosa but Mitch chose Brian Cook in the draft instead. Oh Well.
