That's a simplistic way to look at it.

Stockton's durability was unparalleled among point guards, and it should be taken into consideration. From age 26 to 34, he missed a total of 4 games. Also, his productivity in his late-30's was astounding.

But I think people are severely underestimating how efficient and unique Stockton was in his prime. During the 1994-95 season, he shot 45% from 3 point range and 58% from the field - unheard of numbers for a point guard at that time. For eight consecutive seasons, he averaged more than 12 assists per game. People only remember the pick and roll Jazz teams that played in the finals against Jordan, but Stockton constantly pushed the pace early in his career.

Kobe just "moosed" a girl and she did not appreciate his "mamba". He probably didn't ask and certainly didn't go easy.
