the advanced stuff that wasn't around when Stockton was active. It's crazy to see these stats for him, knowing he played in an era when efficiency wasn't as valued as it is now, when game plans aren't as specific and as planned out to get players their best looks on the right spots of the court. And because his coach was so adamant against adapting the 3 point shot on offense or guarding it on defense.

"- Not surprising, but he is the league’s leader in career Assist Percentage, at a remarkable 50.2 mark. He paced the NBA 15 times and was twice three other times. He was at 57.5 in 1990. (Chris Paul's career high is 54, career is 46...and he hasn't played 5-6 seasons past his prime)

- Stockton sports the ninth best True Shooting Percentage ever–.608. He led the NBA three times–1995, 1998, 2001– and had 10 campaigns in the top 10. He was top 10 in 2-point field goal percentage nine times. (Steve Nash is .605 for his career, Paul is at .576)

- He also led the NBA in Effective Field Goal Percentage in 1996 and was top 10 eight times. Not too shabby for a 6’1″ point guard.

- Stockton finished in the top seven for Steal Percentage 14 times and is seventh overall (3.5). He led the NBA twice.

- He had a 21.0 or better PER mark in his final 16 seasons. His mark at age 41 would have been third on the current Jazz roster.

- Stockton is fifth all-time in Win Shares, with 207.7. He was top 10 over 11 seasons, including eight times in the top 55.

- Furthermore, he is fifth all-time in Offensive Win shares–142.8, along with twelve top 10 seasons."
