Would John Stockton be a top 3 PG today? Huge debate going on

[Sccit]

Probably not.

Undersized. Efficient but slow.
With how athletic guards and other big men are in the league in 2022, I suspect Stockton might also get pick and rolled to death -- pardon the irony of that statement.

Absolutely, Stockton was a plus defender in his era. I'm just not sure he would be as effective now.
I think the speed of the game now would limit Stockton's effectiveness.

STEVE NASH WON BACK TO BACK MVPS AND WASNT HALF AS ATHLETIC AS STOCKTON


CP3 IS AN OLD MAN AND STILL ARGUABLY THE BEST PG IN THE LEAGUE


THIS ERA IS SOFT- STOCKTON WOULD FEAST

JOHN STOCKTON
AND MARK PRICE WOULD
BE TOP 5 RIGHT NOW.

Larry Bird would be food in today’s NBA according to the coli

 

[ALonelyDad]

He would be very good, can defend, pass, and shoot.

 

[OsO]

My man you trippin hard right now.

Again nobody is disrespecting Stockton but saying he would be a top 3 PG today is a stretch as we only seen him in one system that included a HOF mastermind coach and a top tier HOF PF that complimented his play super well. Without Sloan and Malone is Stockton still the same? In today’s game where all the tops PG’s are Either big,freakishly athletic or dead eye shooter,Stockton is none of the three, you outta pocket

The fact you've repeatedly said Stockton isn't a good shooter shows you haven't watched him play enough. You should watch some of his games/highlights before you comment again.

In today's league I'd only take CP3 and Steph over a prime Stockton. Ja is close.

Luka pretty much destroys any argument against a chubby unathletic cac not being able to eat in this era. It would take Bird two seconds to add a stepback and taking 3 steps without dribbling to his overall game

 

[Reggie]

Top 3 is hard for me to say but Stockton would be more than effective in today's NBA. Great passer and shooter with quick hands. That would translate to any era I think.

DUDE IS IDIOTIC.

IVE EVEN NEVER HEARD THE DUMBEST
CASUAL SAYING JOHN STOCKTON
WASNT A GOOD SHOOTER.

CP0 ain’t better than Stockton?

A this point in his career he's not better than a prime Stockton

I don’t see it.

Curry, CP3 & Luka

 

[HabitualChiller]

Firstly, you'd have to state who the top 3 Point Guards are in the league, then figure out who he's better than.
