“I try to exploit things against everybody; that's part of the game: beat the guy that guards me while you're beating their team.”

American former professional basketball player

John Stockton is an American former professional basketball player, best known for his long career with the Utah Jazz from 1984 to 2003. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest point guards in NBA history. He spent all 19 of his seasons with the Jazz, helping the team reach the playoffs every year. Stockton was a ten-time NBA All-Star and, with Karl Malone, led Utah to the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998, when the team lost to the Chicago Bulls in six games each time. He holds the NBA records for career assists and steals, both by wide margins.
