Stockton Assist Record WON’T Be Broken 🐐
The Gil’s Arena podcast crew gives John Stockton his flowers. After Chris Paul broke the 2nd all-time list of NBA Assists, Stockton has become a topic of conversation. Chris Paul will never reach his 15,000 assists because of the longevity of Stockton’s career with the Utah Jazz. Kenyon Martin says he would never miss a game. If you look at his career he was playing 80 games every season and getting more assists than anyone ever has or will. Another great inside the NBA commentary from the Gil’s Arena podcast.
Gil’s Arena every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

Thank You Kenyon!!! Finally someone said it!!
No it won't be touched, NO ONE in the NBA today is that selfless.
Just imagine John Stockton in today's NBA 😂😂
Black people make me laugh.
John Stockton is the greatest PG of all-time. You may like Magic and Isaiah more but Stock is the purest PG in NBA history.
He was a monster stayed in top top shape took his diet and cardio as serious as any of the goats and he did the low key dirty plays IYKYK
And stayed the same size his whole career like a buck 65
Stockton was one of the greatest team players ever. If he were a scorer, he probably would have missed more games due to injuries.
LeBron is gonna ha e that record too
Ok I'm a say it..BEST PG OF ALL TIME. 15,000 ast = 30,000 points & he's the all time steal leader.
Facts
Dream team.
Smart, old school, tough as nails PG that can give it to you any kind of way…underrated to be honest
Stockton was a beast. He mastered his role. Players want to do it all now to be “noticed”, yet we REALLY notice players who specialize after they retire.. Different league now though.
He made the Mailman.
Kendrick mentioned him 😂
And yet his name never EVER comes up amongst the greats at pg
Stockton was on court mean, smart and durable that even Kerr hated him. Players in this era get injured without dribbling for fuckin chucking 3s. Wth.
Mini van stockton was one of the great. Paul is one the of greats to.
In a bloodsport type of defenses back then. Come on out only 22 games in 19 seasons (1558 reg season games) plus deep playoff runs. SMH
Rockets fans don’t under appreciate him.
Not only that, but he never played over 36 minutes in any game, per Sloan's orders. So he averaged playing 3 quarters, per game, and still smoked everybody!
In today's NBA, will never happen. These guys take so many days off. Back then, players were different. They were loyal to teams. Now, guys like Lebron james junp ship and run to the enemy. That would be like Larry bird going to the Lakers. Just wouldn't happen. But today. These guys sint loyal. Not like Kobe Bryant or Tim Duncan etc. Or John Stockton. I cant believe lebron james left Cleveland just to come back and win with Kyrie Irving. Hacker.
125 missing calls from "load management"
Don't forget he's leader all time steals too. The perfect pg.
Even if Utah inflated his home stats and some of his assists were kinda suspect by way of Karl Malone going one on one and doing all the work for a bucket, you still gotta put mad respect on stocktons name and marvel at his records. If you doubt his ability as a player just listen to Gary Payton, one of the all time great defensive PGs, talk about Stockton’s skill and impact as a player.
That “com on man,” at the end is universal brotha speak😂
With load management no one ever touching that.
and to think they are counting real assist back then.. nowadays Lebron get an assist even after 5seconds has passed lol
Trae Young the only one that can imo
Stock greatest asset was his humility
Work ethic
Still MJ is the GOAT.
Leading scorer treated like the man who shall not be named
I was a Sonics fan, so not only did i watch him play 4 games vs. Seattle, but some seriously great playoff series. It was them and Houston. Boy, what a time to watch the NBA.
AND the game was played a lot harder back then.
what those guy's did in the 80's too each other
would be all fouled out in the first quarter now.
cry babies now can't even watch anymore.
I think he averaged over two steals a game also. 3 or more for a few years
He played all 82 games 16 different years. Including his last year at 40 years old.
Don't care he still not top 3
Didn’t Gilbert talk shit in Stockton?
He’s from Stockton,ca an we are proud if him
Load management
Malone and Stockton should of been champions, but there was one man in their way.
Was he stat padding
Low key hornacek was a dog too
Damm I remember Stockton pick an roll with Malone carr ostertag an a few other cats
Them tough white boys with the basic fundamentals
WHOA!! Don't sit up there and act like his stats are about longevity. That man is the all time leader in steals AND assists. Meanwhile Kenyon can't even dribble with his left hand or shoot a jumpshot. The jealousy is real with these dudes.
