So a ring which involves a team....is criteria to consider an individual under or over rated?

Stat wise stockton is greatest pg. Ever. The fact you say no allows me to say that he is to you under rated.

I would even go as far as to say that he was top 5 greatest OF ALL TIME. and the fact that you disagree means that he is under rated.

Can any one co sign stockton as top 5 greatest?

Stats help to a degree. He's one of the goat no doubt but besides what he did personally you have to look at the team he led as well. In his era the Jazz were about on the same level as the Clippers now.

Veritas doing his lame meta-troll that he thinks no one truly understands but him. But everyone gets it.

Stockton was the second best player on his team for the majority of his career. So, if Stockton is Top 5 All Time, then Malone is Top 4 All Time. Steals are an empty stat, and mean nothing unless buoyed by better defensive statistics. Magic Johnson is a better point guard than Stockton. Isaiah Thomas is a better point guard than Stockton. Chris Paul is a better point guard than Stockton. To name a few. Your argument against the "RINGZ" argument is correct. You need to look closely at how similar your flimsy surface stats argument is to that same argument you disregard, correctly. Fail troll.

how do you define best?

So, if Stockton is Top 5 All Time, then Malone is Top 4 All Time.

depends on how you answer the previous question, Daniel.

Steals are an empty stat, and mean nothing unless buoyed by better defensive statistics.

Umm what? What other defensive statistics could buoy them? rebounds? steals are the forced fumbles of the NBA. A steal is a free possession for your offense. In addition, steals are far more difficult to accomplish than any other defensive stat that would buoy them. So.......your argument is invalid and nonsensical. I am beginning to doubt your perception.

Magic Johnson is a better point guard than Stockton. Isaiah Thomas is a better point guard than Stockton. Chris Paul is a better point guard than Stockton. To name a few.

Based upon what criteria? Rings or stats or character?

Your argument against the "RINGZ" argument is correct.

Ok thank you for making enough progress in life to be able to realize how agreeing with me will help you....while also eliminating the idea of rings from your argument...so then if it is stats, Stocktons stats were better than all those you mentioned....sooooo.......what is left>? Your racism because he is white>?

You need to look closely at how similar your flimsy surface stats argument is to that same argument you disregard, correctly. Fail troll.

Well...before I do that, I need to look closely at this statement, because the way you worded it reeks of junior college night classes, and that stench of "I browsed Spinoza for a few minutes at Barnes and Nobles one Sunday afternoon". Unless you are trolling by saying I am trolling when I am not, which makes you the fail troll. OR if you are not trolling, then you are just wrong. Either works for me.
