A tall person bring the ball up the court does not make a point guard. He was a pre-Lebron. Remember when people were trying to claim Lebron was a PG? I don't think anyone today would call lebron a PG, they are a very similar type of player to me.
I guess the most accurate term would be point foward....so your SF/PF range.
Stockton had a much tougher draw than Isaiah, playing in a tougher West. Isaiah's two championships came at the only time they could be won. 1989-1990. Magic and Bird were on the way out...and Michael was on the way in, but hadn't figured out how to win in the East (0 championships at those points). Stockton's Finals appearances came against the greatest NBA teams ever.
Durability is an overlooked aspect. If you don't take in career longevity/injuries, people like Sam Bowie could be considered among the GOAT's. But it does figure in.
All-time records are a testament to a players skill AND durability. You have to have both.

This is impressive but he wasn't even a point guard in half of those years.
I don't know where your getting that from?

Stockton was not the best PG in history, that goes to Robertson or Magic.
Stockton was the best Point of the 90's though. I think Payton would be second.

I am confused...is someone trying to say Thomas or Stockton were not PG for half their career? That may border on Boom silliness.

Wait....what? Are you saying that Magic wasn't a point guard?

Magic Johnson was a PG.
