Synopsis
Learn the Inspiring Story of the Utah Jazz's Legendary Guard John Stockton! Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet or Kindle device. Limited time offer: If you buy the print edition, you can keep the Kindle edition for yourself! In John Stockton: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Point Guards , you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's greatest point guards of all time, John Stockton. Stockton ran the point for the Utah Jazz through the majority of the 80s and 90s. He holds the NBA record for the most assists and steals of all time. Playing for the majority of his career alongside Karl Malone, Stockton had a highly illustrious career. By the time he retired, he was a ten-time All-Star and had led the league in assists nine times. He is one of few point guards to ever average a career double-double in points and assists. In this unauthorized biography, you'll relive Stockton's impressive career from his rookie season to his final game. Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Early Life and High School Career College Career The Legendary Class of 1984, Getting Drafted, Rookie Season, The Arrival of Karl Malone, The Beginning of the Stockton and Malone Era The Dime-Dropping Machine, Stockton's Rise to Stardom, Historic Assists Seasons, Falling Short, The Back-to-Back Finals Appearances, Losing to the Bulls The Steady Decline, The Final Season, Retirement Stockton's International Career Stockton's Personal Life Impact on Basketball An excerpt from the book: It is often said that an NBA player's status as one of the all-time greats is determined by the number of championships he won during his playing days. Those considered great have won titles. Michael Jordan ended his career as a six-time champion. Bill Russell won 11 titles during the 60's. Despite all the battles he had with Russell, Wilt Chamberlain retired as a two-time NBA champion. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spent a lifetime not only collecting points but also six NBA rings. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird combined for a total of eight championships during their rivalry years in the 80's. And in today's league, LeBron James is continuing to carve out his legacy as one of the players that could one day be the greatest of all time as he seeks out more NBA titles. But what if those legendary players that did not have the pleasure of being called an NBA champion? Winning an NBA title was never easy no matter how good a player was because championships were always dependent on how the team played and of how tough the competition was. Some players won titles because of how completely dominant their team was during their peak years. And there were those that collected multiple championships during an era where the NBA was not at its most competitive. Though the popular belief is that a championship defines a player's career, it is never truly a measure of how great the player was. Some superstars could not get over the hump because of the era and competitive environment they played in. One of those players is the Utah Jazz's legendary point guard, John Stockton. John Stockton spent his entire NBA career as a player that reveled in seeing his teammates making baskets. It was as if the point guard position was made for him. He was a playmaker like no other. He became an All-Star by making sure his teammates had the best possible shots and looks. He played hard-nosed defense and provided the Jazz with a secondary or tertiary scoring punch because of how talented of a shooter he was.
