John Stockton?



Chris Pauls stats per game- 18.6 Points, 9.8 assists, 2.4 turnovers per game
John Stockton- 13.1 points, 10.5 assists, 2.8 turnovers

Yes CP3 is def up there.



Lets compare the two through their first 8 years as a NBA starter


...............PTS....AST....STL......FG%......3P%.....FT%....Win Shares
Paul.........18.6.....9.8......2.4......47.3%...35.6%...85.8%......103.0
Stockton...15.9....13.3......2.7.....52.0%...38.1%...82.7%......109.3

Paul has a higher PER, a higher REB %, a higher USG %, a lower TO %, higher Win Shares according to BR (103 to 87 with Paul playing ~100 less total minutes), and a higher WS/48 .244 to .206.

It's personal preference- both are great along with Isaiah, Kidd, etc. But you can certainly argue that Paul is the 2nd best pg of all time based on what we've seen from him so far.

And Stockton played for almost 20 years (and he rarely missed any time). No way Paul lasts that long.

However, imagine if Paul had the stability of playing with a top 3 all-time PF and under one of the greatest coaches of all time.
