GOAT pass-first PG
There were poor games where Chick's commentary single-handedly made them entertaining. The GOAT.

That series was the peak of Stockton and Malone(Bailey/Eaton/Hansen). Too bad they stopped running once Sloan took over.

Teammates were throwing up shots as soon as John passed it to them.
Half of those shots were terrible.

Why terrible? they were open and maybe designed plays on their sweetspots.

Question: I'm watching Stockton's 28 assist performance on NBATV right now. Just a moment ago, Stockton poked the ball away, saved it, and in one motion through it down to Karl Malone, who'd never fully gotten back on defense and was standing just above the opposite three point line.
Malone was all by himself when he caught the pass, with the Spurs more or less conceding the basket. However, it took him 3 dribbles and a lot of time to get to the hoop because he kept shuffling and re-setting his feet in preparation for a two-footed dunk. Stockton received an assist on the play. Should he have? My logic says his play directly led to a basket, but Karl Malone tinkered around so long that it began to make me wonder if there's exceptions for people all alone on breakways.
Here's the play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiUBGD2rQ8E#t=5m55s

Wish Westbrook played more like him and less like a selfish low iq ball hog.

For instance, had Malone caught the ball, stood still, looked back, then decided to walk in slowly, at any point does that veer from being defined as a direct score?
