Encyclopedic overview
John Houston Stockton (born March 26, 1962) is an American former professional basketball player. Regarded as one of the greatest point guards of all time, he spent his entire NBA career (1984–2003) with the Utah Jazz. The team made the playoffs in each of his 19 seasons. In 1997 and again in 1998, Stockton and his longtime teammate Karl Malone led the Jazz to the NBA Finals; each time, the team was defeated in six games by the Chicago Bulls.
Stockton was a ten-time NBA All-Star and holds the NBA records for most career assists and steals by wide margins. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009 as an individual, and again in 2010 as a member of the 1992 United States Olympic basketball team. In 1996, he was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history. In October 2021, Stockton was again honored as one of the league's greatest players of all time by being named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.
