Malone didn't make Stockton. We'd still know plenty about Stockton if he played on another team. Dude is up there in all-time steals and assists. He'd have gotten someone else a ton of points with his passes.

This is a serious disregard for the player that Malone was and probably giving a bit too much credit to Stockton.

That wasn't a Chris Paul/ David West type of situation where West was INFINITELY better when Paul was his teammate and significantly worse without him.
 
Having a 25PPG makes it easy for a pure point .

Don't say he would have found someone else as if Malone wasn't an Elitr scorer that was easily replaceable . Nah. Don't do that.

Malone would have done fine without Stockton. Debatable whether he is a top 4 all time scorer without him.

My comment was in response to DC saying there is no Sloane or Stockton without Malone. Sloane like any coach had his legacy hitched to whatever great player he might get to coach.

Stockton on the other hand would have still been a top steals and assist man without Malone. Nobody is selling Malone short. He played with a guard and system that was perfect for his game and he clearly put the work into his fitness and game to take advantage of it.

Pics ain’t doing her justice playboy.

Debating the "What if" is probably the most disingenuous, pointless level of debating. So totally not worth it.

However after a quick search there were only 8 games while both players were on Utah where both weren't healthy and in the lineup (which is f***** incredible btw).

So with there being less than a 10 game sample size, there is no legit way to quantify what you claim to be debatable.
 
And also @soychulo you greatly misquoted me. I NEVER said Malone MADE Stockton/Sloan.

I said without Malone, they wouldn't be who they are.

And I would probably say the same about any of those 3 in relation to the other 2.

They all made each other.
 
"I think the world of PG. I think everybody knows that," Presti said. "I know that he had used the term 'mutual.' I wouldn't necessarily agree with that because that would infer that we were wanting to trade Paul George, which I think most people would agree that that probably wasn't on the top of our offseason priority list.
