dirty ole man..

bout time he trashed those short-shorts..

"Tomorrow," he said when asked when would be the next time he picked up a basketball. "Probably out in the yard. It's still a great game."

john stockton is the kind of player you luv if hes on your team and absolutely despise if hes on the other. hes never crossed anyone over in his life. yet w/o an ounce of athleticism in him, hes got more assists and steals than anyone else in the nba. in 19 seasons, hes missed only 22 games (he played a full season 17 times). and he hustles harder than anyone twice his size. loose ball on the floor? dont worry--the little white dude is all over it (AND draws the foul!)..

and now hes done. no more pick-and-rolls. no more runs for the elusive ring..

i dont really like stockton myself. in fact, since the two finals appearances ive hated him. but i respect the way he played immensely--hard and physical, never backin down. pound-for-pound he may have been the toughest player in the league other than a.i..

and i luv his quote above--cuz although its over, its really not for him. too much luv for the game..

(damn, i never thought id devote a whole entry to john stockton. i guarantee i wont for the mailman..)
