Who are your all-time Top 5 players? Danilo Gallinari: I would go with John Stockton; at two, MJ; at three, LeBron James, then Bill Russell, and Jokic.
Raymond Felton: ‘I’m going with what Patrick Beverley said.’ Charlie Villanueva: ‘As a point guard, if you want to win, and you want to like… for me, I know when that flow, he’s going to find you. I'd rather have Stockton on my team. I'm going Stockton. I'm going Stockton. And it's not even close.'
Raymond Felton: Ja Morant is frying John Stockton's ass. Charlie Villanueva: In one-on-one? Felton: You understand me? Villanueva: John Stockton was a defender. He led the League in steals! What are we talking about?!
During a recent episode of "The Pat Bev Show," former NBA player Patrick Beverley boldly claimed he would pick Ja Morant ahead of NBA legend and arguably the greatest pure point guard of all time, John Stockton. Although such a statement could be deemed blasphemous, Beverley justified it by stating: "Some people go John Stockton. I'm going Ja Morant. Some people go John Stockton because he's an actual point guard. He's going to get the ball where it needs to be. He's going to be heavy on the pocket pass. He's going to be a great leader. That's cool. Ja Morant is running circles around John Stockton's a–. Straight up. He's going to be jumping over John Stockton's a–." "I'm talking about the Stockton with the little shorts that was playing against Michael Jordan and them. I'm a huge Stockton fan. He played against the greatest ever. He did compete. I'm not taking that away from him. As a better player, a lot of people would take John Stockton. I'm taking Ja Morant."
Charlie Villanueva on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: I wouldn't even put him in the top 10. Q. Give me 10 point guards, combo point guards, it doesn’t matter. Villanueva: Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Stephen Curry, Allen Iverson, John Stockton… I wouldn't put him up past John Stockton, fam. Q. But that's only five you've named so far. Villanueva: Okay, let me get there! Steve Nash, Chris Paul… Okay. I'm cool. I'm cool with all these… Oh, also Tony Parker. (…) He’s not in front of Jason Kidd. (…) Bob Cousy. Pistol Pete.

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from Gonzaga and NBA legend John Stockton in his lawsuit against the Washington Medical Commission and the Washington State Office of the Attorney General regarding doctors who were sanctioned for COVID-19 misinformation. The case is one of dozens the court declined to hear on appeal. The court did not elaborate.
Stockton, a vocal critic of COVID-19 policy and vaccination requirements, first filed a lawsuit in 2024 which claimed the pandemic-era rules restricted doctors from speaking against “the mainstream Covid narrative.” Stockton filed the suit alongside several doctors who faced state sanctions for unprofessional conduct after they published opinion columns and other blog posts downplaying the effectiveness of COVID tests and vaccines and promoting alternative treatments.

You’re not watching? John Stockton: No, it isn't like I'm saying, "I'm not going to watch that." Life’s busy. I've got kids, I've got grandkids—they're playing sports. I'd rather watch that. So, it's not a negative thing like that. However, things that I see are—yeah, I do think it’s softer. You have guys that can take 20 days off, you know, what they call load management. I mean, could you imagine your dad coming home saying, "I'm gonna take a few weeks off work"? You know—who's going to feed us then? You know what I’m saying? These guys do it, and they’re supposed to be examples. And the league allows it.
John Stockton: I was in an article and I said—I think at the time I said—there were 200 athletes dead on the field recently, immediately after being vaccinated. And they said that’s, you know, fact-checked. Fact-check comes on and says, “No, John’s lying about this.” I was, maybe, because it was 300 at the time. And it was well over a thousand before 2023. I had the names of them. I had their obits. I had all these things so I could back it up to anybody that wanted to see it. But yeah, it’s definitely a correlation. And then Ed Dowd did the book Cause Unknown. It was a bestseller—little book, only takes you about 45 minutes to read it. Same thing: pictures, faces of kids, of athletes. And these are all guys that were vaccinated and within 48 hours—gone.
John Stockton: Well, yeah. I mean, first of all—mainstream media—I mean, that’s why your stuff’s so valuable, what you’re doing. You can’t get the truth from mainstream media. You get on the news and… stuff that I— they’re still saying the vaccines are safe. They’re still saying they’re effective. They’re saying that—safe and effective. I mean, we have 2,000 athletes dropping dead on a field. I mean, how much more proof do you need? It only takes one.
John Stockton: So it's just: throw it out. There's less strategy, there's less physicality. The safety—again, kind of back to the COVID thing—safety is more important than the game. And I—I don’t know. I think the game’s first. I think people are looking for gladiators out there. They want you to go to war. They want to see you do what they can’t do—not go out there and shake hands and hug each other and shoot jumpers.
