Can John Stockton ball in the current league??

[Standing on business]

Steve Nash got 2 MVPS in this current era breh.

Why is this even a question?

Ask Gary Payton.

This was over 10 years ago, the point guards jobs is a whole lot different now, high assist numbers no longer make you an elite point guard. This is why Chris Paul is overrated.
You have to bust ass offensively and pretty much be a pg/SG. Just look at the PG play of the last 4 remaining teams last year.

Disagree Chris Paul holds the ball too long and doesnt allow anybody to get in rhythm. He never had a solid SG SF. Only big thrive with him.

 

[BaggerofTea]

Yes

Of course skill translates to any era

 

[CHICAGO]

Ask Gary Payton.

I SAW GP DA GAWD IN THE CLUB SUNDAY NIGHT

is this a serious thread? negs

 

[Frump]

He was a much better defender then you think

 

[Da King]

Probably would average 35/42/21 in this era

 

[Sauce Dab]

Probably would average 35/42/21 in this era

You took it too far

 

[Verbal Kint]

Stockton would ball out in any era. What are the offensive requirements for a PG today?
P&R passing- check
P&R penetration- check
space the floor and hit 3s - check

He's not a top level athlete vertically but he was quick and strong and would benefit from modern science, nutrition and training like everyone else

 

[NatiboyB]

Both him and mark price could play and produce in this NbA same as Kidd and Payton Tim Hardaway etc.

 

[Optimus Prime]

Yes, Stockton was regularly voted the dirtiest player in the game in his prime. He would be giving Kyrie and Russ fits

 

[Sterling Archer]

Rondo is not only still in the league, but seen as a good point guard somehow.
John Stockton would give nikkas BUCKETS and be second only to the athletic freak PGs and efficient ass Curry.
Stockton on the Clippers wouldve won a title and been an MVP candidate by today's criteria.

 

[OsO]

He's valid in any era. Stockton made a living playing against bigger, more athletic players.

You're not the all time leader in assists and steals by accident.

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

He was top 5 in assists and top 10 in steals st age 40
And played and started nearly 400 games after the age of 36
