Duncan did not have more All NBA or Defensive selections than kobe unless you really want to count 2nd or 3rd team apperances. Not to mention kobe has the edge over him in playoff matchups
The Tim Duncan disrespect is shameful. Man’s dominated for 15 years and was still effective well into his waning years bc of his incredible IQ and bag on the block and his all time post defense. He won his first ring in year two and his 5th and final in year 17 at 37 while never missing significant time in his NBA career. He was the consummate professional and an amazing leader that will be a great coach. He truly did everything and never slacked in the little stuff. That’s what makes him so great.

I like these two as content creators, but I don't think they're open minded enough to be able to sit through both "Making the Case" series without having to be toxic about it.
@@peewee130946 Stockton sucks because he can’t tween hesi splash. Solz and sage are the same Niggas talking about how tween hesi splash is dumb but are using it to discredit Stockton. 16pts,13assists/3 steals for a decade is amazing numbers. Doing that on 52/39/82 splits is all so amazing.
@@kash125 no Stockton sucks because he was left wide open constantly and couldn’t even dribble with his left. Also they’ve used the tween hesi splash argument against other people
Just the all time assists and steals leader. He belongs and I think both Harden and CP3 are tier 5 just like Stockton. I’m gonna be honest Stockton isnt overrated or underrated. He’s overhated. You don’t become the all time leader in assists simply by playing with Karl Malone.
He couldn’t score worth shit he was a pass first ball hog. He was a system player at best and just gambled on steals. No chance he over cp3 joker harden or ai
How many finals de CP get to? How many times did u need to see Harden go hard on the regular season then flop in the playoffs? Bro the man plays for 20 years is the all time assist leader and top 10 in steals, was amazing from the FT line, are people realy knocking off cause the system he played favoured Malone scoring? If we go by that logic them what about MJ and Pippen, Magic and Kareem, plus the man played on the loaded west and had to beat, Hakeem Rockets, Clyde Portland, The Glove sonics, Barkley suns, Webber kings and the lakers to get to a final and he did 2 times against MJ and lost but so did everybody else during Jordan era.
@@glcsander bro what are u on about stockton wasn’t even the best player on his team and it wasn’t close. Give Malone who was a top 4 player minimum at that time any the players I name and they likely beat the bulls at least once. Stockton is a glorified Ricky Rubio
@@glcsander cp got to one final Stockton got to 2 playing with a top 5 player in the league for 20 years. How many times did they crash out from the playoffs and choked against inferior competition, we just remember the losses of today's players and not past players. And also what did Stockton do in the finals that he made? They lost a finals game against the bulls in 97 where they scored like 50 pts all game and they choked away a very winnable series in 98 just stop it Stockton never scored 35 pts in an nba game his whole career
@@robert2690 he isn’t talking about cp3 he’s talking about harden and even if he was talking about cp3 is peak was much higher then Stockton and he also has great longevity you have no argument
Solz claiming Stockton, the untouchable record-holder in assists and steals who played until 2002, couldn’t dribble with both hands is a grade school take.
He also claims that Kareem being top 5 ever is dubious, like what??? I fuck with these two and just NBA UA-cam in general, but I'll be honest with you, I can't take half of their takes seriously especially regarding the older eras. Everyone clowns Flight, Cash, and Oprah for being dumb casuals when the reality is that more than half of the guys on this platform are just more "normal" versions of those dudes.
@@overez2969 id pay real money to watch them play bro you could never know how hard something is to do on the court unless you go out and do it stockton in his 60's would 21-0 them
Yeah, the way Solz is raging over Stockton dribbling is embarrassing to watch. Stockton’s doing exactly what LeBron does sometimes. It’s ok to wait for the offense to run.
All time steals leader and assist leader 2 time in the NBA finals 16 times he played all 82 games. Chris Paul always hurt when it matters or doesnt show up but is he a better player yeah properly but we have to look at all the things combined and players of today gets away with travel every other possession back in the days you couldnt do that
@Someone A better overall resume? He has a negative playoff record with multiple horrible games in the finals, add that he played with a top 20 MVP player in Malone for two decades and overall had a good roster/coach. CP3 played against harder competition, had significant injuries to important teammates, never had a MVP player besides him like Stockton besides Harden for two years. People are too enamored with the assist/steals record for Stockton, ironic considering Paul is probably going to finish 2nd all time in Assist and steals while dealing with injuries his whole career. Paul is also having a longevity argument.
I cant understand the Stockon hate, how can a player be the all time leader in assist and steals and be considered mid? Cause he had Malone? Cause of his Coach? Cause of his system? If we go by that logic doesnt everybody favorite player Steph Curry also gets disqualified? I dont understand how the community can celebrate achievings like the all score leaders, but them turn the eye to the others stats, the guy was for the most part of his career an iron man, 20 years of prodution and one of the core points of his teams system, the only fault in his career is a lack of a ring but thats most of the stars and superstars in late 80s and 90s, the league was under the thumb of Magic, Bird and later MJ.
@@anonymoususer2080 LMAO yeah thats definitely why he's "disrespected" I'm def putting CP3 over him. Better individual defender and he was the reason that DeAndre Jordan was ALL NBA FIRST TEAM lmfaooo you think he wouldn't do exactly what stockton did if he had Malone?
This.. honestly I kept looking at disgust when watching this video thinking "This man has an assists record that will probably never be broken in our lifetimes... wtf are y'all talking bout?" like wtf are these 2 on right now
@@KrisNation no he still wouldn't have the durability stockton did for damn near 20 seasons. He wouldn't have hit the biggest shot in jazz franchise history to send them to the nba finals in 97. And John stockton didn't choke 5 2-0 leads in his career, thats just embarrassing. John stockton has the records, the longevity, and playoff success over chris paul
Sage's point about the black and white pictures is dumb asf. We should get rid of the HOF then imo. Being the most dominant during your era should be recognized, basketball is the only sport where niggas bring up that arguement.
0:26 I know this was the pyramid he had 3 years ago but john Stockton over David Robinson, Dirk, AI, Moses Malone,Jerry west,Charles Barkley,and KG is just so wrong😂
Yes, let's roost players who play style is different today yet who's play styles set the foundation for players today because they are old and we think outdated. How hilarious that would be.
Solz saying Stockton got to the finals and lost twice while conveniently leaving out that he lost to the damn Bulls lol. I'm not even that big of a fan of Stockton's game but I respect greatness. Saying he shouldn't be on here is absolutely fine but if your reasoning is because he can't go left that's some OSN or Flight logic.
Well to be great and to be high on these lists you gotta beat great teams. Stockton and Malone were teammates for almost their entire career with no chips and two finals appearances and it’s not like the teams they had were not able to beat to win at least one even if it’s not against the bulls.
You used an individual stat to hypeup stockton , but used team success/lack off to trash cp3. what did stockton do in those finals, and the playoffs before ?
I’m gonna set things straight here. Scoring: Paul Rebounding: Paul Playmaking: Stockton Defense: Paul Playoffs: Stockton Shooting: Stockton Longevity: Stockton Peak: Paul Durabilty: Stockton Efficiency: Stockton Assists-Turnovers: Paul Total: Stockton: 6: Paul 5 Stockton wins
Hating on Larry is outrageous. Larrys greatness shouldn't need to be thought about at all. He's goated. One of the best passers in full court and had eyes in the back of his head it seemed like. I think he was better than magic. And that's on Bill Russell
John Stockton is the leader in assists and steals and his records will likely not be broken. He met MJ 2 times in the finals, back to back. John Stockton deserves his place. Heavily underrated. The man generated countless points.
generated countless point to one of the best scorers ever. Im sorry but a ringless second option can never be in this pyramid. you are either a legit first option or have won rings being a second option to be there
@@deanoss777 Stockton still averaged a respectable amount of points for his career and had a good shooting percentage. He was an all around player. Legends will tell you that he is what a point guard is supposed to be.
The Stockton slander has to stop. Yeah I said it. Notice how Jxmy's pyramid isn't named the BOAT pyramid for Best of all time, it's called the GOAT pyramid for Greatest of all time. John Stockton is not a better basketball player than maybe the 30 or 40 players ranked behind him, but he's a greater player than any one of them. He holds 2 arguably unbreakable league records, has made multiple All NBA 1st teams, finished in the top 10 of MVP voting 5 times, and was directly responsible for generating over 50,000 points in his career. He's an all time great.
@@davidnkemitag4362 Yeah CP peaked higher and is the better basketball player than Stockton was, but Stockton is still slightly greater. These guys are acting like Stockton was some random bum
The Stockton disrespect is very unfair this dude a walking 15/10 with 3STLS a game but one thing that nobody talks about is how he played 16 seasons where he played all 82 games. Nobody is touching his record of ASTS and STLS
Those stats aren’t good enough to win a ring period. 20/11 like magic then yes but Stockton is rated high just because of longevity is not enough. Peak and winnings are more important than longevity
Why are you arguing about Chris Paul over Stockton? Look at the list even if you put him in over Stockton he’s getting removed the next time you do the list. WTF are you talking about people on the last tier for the majority of the video? It’s the bottom tier, those spots aren’t safe. I wish I would spend ten minutes talking about who the hell is # 26-30. Did you really go that hard on Stockton, like why the hell would you care if Chris Paul gets a bottom spot for what, eight months before someone like Luka makes the cut.
The main reason Jxmmy put older players so high when they are objectively worse is cuz of his criteria, where he stated that the era players played in was a factor.
Worst in what sense? If rules apply, then this takes a whole another turn. THe older eras had rules that strict their games to a certain that doesn't restrict today's players. For example, players today are able to carry in oppose to strict ball handling rule in the 1950s and 1960s in which your hands can only stay on top of ball, so they had to dribble a certain way...making it look awkward.
The amount of recency bias is crazy also bob cousey and those 50’s and 60’s players didn’t play in a segregated league NBA desegregated in the late 1940’s
Still don't get the Stockton disrespect tbh. I get that he's not the flashiest guy in the world and he never really jumps out in the highlight films, but he got it done for a really long time. Just for context, Chris Paul right now at age 37 has fallen off a cliff (11-5-9 on 51% true shooting) and is missing a lot of games due to injury. Stockton at the same age started every game and averaged 12-3-9 on 59% true shooting. I'm not trying to suggest that Stockton is better than CP3 (Paul blows him away in ability), but as Jxmy said in his video, their **careers** (emphasizing this because I think both Solz and Sage didn't get this part) are remarkably similar.
@@nachoalvarez7171their peaks are more comparable than you think. peak stockton averaged 17/14 and 3 steals on 60% ts. peak cp3 averaged 21/11.6 and 3 steals on 57% ts. i do think that chris paul’s assists were more valuable than stockton’s, so i give chris paul the edge in peak. that’s not considering the 19 years of quality production stockton provided. he started 82 games for the last four years of his career, and all 50 in the lockout shortened year five years before his retirement. honestly it comes down to preference, but i think it’d be easier to win more over a longer period of time with stockton than cp3.
They dont rank goats based on whos better than rank them on career accomplishments and numbers which is flawed because these guys played in different eras with different rules with different circumstances
@@bcuno Bill Russell (60’s) and Kareem (70’) were also the undisputed best player of their era. Wilt was never close to Bill watch the thinking basketball video about them and you will realize Wilt was overated thats why he only won 2 chip and he won them when he changed his playstyle and only averaged like 16pts. The 80´s is close between Magic, Bird, Kareem and MJ, and the 2000 is the era with the most parity, Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, Lebron, KG, Wade, Dirk and Iverson were all close in term of stats and accolades.
@@ayaya3954 he said he values peak over longevity, that doesn’t mean a stupidly long career wouldn’t be better than a slightly better peak with constant playoff choaks
@@bazookacantgame constant playoffs choke also apply to Stockton’s career, I would argue he even was a worse choker than cp3, just look at his nba finals stats
@@justinhainsworth7726 Stockton was absolutely garbage against the bulls, one of the worst finals performance by any superstar in 98. Cp3 was decent at least
CP3’s peak was amazing, but honestly, these past playoffs and a finals appearance, he’s fumbled a lot of his performances. He just doesn’t carry the same height as Curry or Kawhi or Giannis or AHEM John Stockton
Stockton never carried anyone. Malone carried him and both didn't win a chip. And for the record, Stockton had 9 first round exits in his career while Paul only had 6.
Honestly for me Dwade belongs with the tier 4 guys HE WAS THAT GOOD. A lot of people under value him bc he took a backseat to LeBron but he was really that dude 3rd greatest ever at his position.
The Bob Pettit disrespect is real. I can at least respect “get him outta there if he in black and white” rather than “he just ain’t good enough” 4 all star game MVP’s 2 MVP’s a championship at the same time as the Russell Celtics and career averages of 26.4 & 16.2. Points and rebounds career averaged combined - he is 2nd in history behind Wilt. Yep.
@Someone sheesh and not to mention the absolute dominant production when it got to playoffs time. There’s a lot misconception around Tim’s early career where people think he’s was only good because of the system he was in, and don’t realise that system in the early 00’s was built around iso post ups. And people who say he had so much help in that 03’ chip because he had tony and Manu forget to mention that manu was a rookie and it was Parker’s 2nd year. Tim average 24 17 5 and 5 blocks in the finals that year, that’s god stats right there.
Jimmy choice of Stockton vs paul made sense to me because his argument for Stockton was about accomplishments and John stocktons accomplishments are leagues ahead of cp3 I don’t agree with jimmy but I understand where he was coming from
Obviously his handles don’t hold up to today’s standards, but Johnny gotta at least get a spot for having the all time record in one of the major statistical categories by a huge margin.
Solz my guy you need to do some learning on dr. j. theres no chance he should be any lower. i need you guys to do reactions to old highlights of these 90 and 80s players that would be so funny. gotta love that 90s lockdown defense with free 5 feet of space.
Larry Bird definitely deserves his spot in tier 2. Peak Larry Bird > Peak Magic, and it is not even a debate. Better scorer, better shooter, better defender and elite playmaker/facilitator (the only thing that Magic is better). Magic is over in the TL because he has more accolades, but remember that Larry is a 3 times MVP in a row and has all defensive team selection. So yeah, Larry Bird deserves his spot in Tier 2. Magic/Bird are just the like 4/5 in my list (I have Bird in 4 though)
Noone at the time believed Magic was better than Bird, they were close but it was unanimous that Bird was better. That's why Bird finished higher in MVP voting nearly every year. It's only because of the way Magic retired and the mythology that's come after that people say Magic is better.
@@amarevanhook7453 Steph’s better bro…same amount of titles on far less time all on one team. Bron never created a dynasty nor has he impacted the way the sport is played how Steph does.
Ok nah this is where I’m actually drawing the line. It’s not about who’s better it’s about who is greater.

There's no way in hell bro said John Stockton is above Chirs Paul and James harden 💀💀
Just the all time assists and steals leader. He belongs and I think both Harden and CP3 are tier 5 just like Stockton. I’m gonna be honest Stockton isnt overrated or underrated. He’s overhated. You don’t become the all time leader in assists simply by playing with Karl Malone.
He couldn’t score worth shit he was a pass first ball hog. He was a system player at best and just gambled on steals. No chance he over cp3 joker harden or ai
How many finals de CP get to? How many times did u need to see Harden go hard on the regular season then flop in the playoffs?
Bro the man plays for 20 years is the all time assist leader and top 10 in steals, was amazing from the FT line, are people realy knocking off cause the system he played favoured Malone scoring?
If we go by that logic them what about MJ and Pippen, Magic and Kareem, plus the man played on the loaded west and had to beat, Hakeem Rockets, Clyde Portland, The Glove sonics, Barkley suns, Webber kings and the lakers to get to a final and he did 2 times against MJ and lost but so did everybody else during Jordan era.
@@glcsander bro what are u on about stockton wasn’t even the best player on his team and it wasn’t close. Give Malone who was a top 4 player minimum at that time any the players I name and they likely beat the bulls at least once. Stockton is a glorified Ricky Rubio
@@glcsander cp got to one final Stockton got to 2 playing with a top 5 player in the league for 20 years.

Niggas see some shit and immediately act like people haven't played more seasons and just discredit everything
@Someone
His longevity is more valuable than CP3’s peak
@Someone A better overall resume? He has a negative playoff record with multiple horrible games in the finals, add that he played with a top 20 MVP player in Malone for two decades and overall had a good roster/coach. CP3 played against harder competition, had significant injuries to important teammates, never had a MVP player besides him like Stockton besides Harden for two years. People are too enamored with the assist/steals record for Stockton, ironic considering Paul is probably going to finish 2nd all time in Assist and steals while dealing with injuries his whole career. Paul is also having a longevity argument.
CP3 is a fraud
I cant understand the Stockon hate, how can a player be the all time leader in assist and steals and be considered mid? Cause he had Malone? Cause of his Coach? Cause of his system? If we go by that logic doesnt everybody favorite player Steph Curry also gets disqualified?
I dont understand how the community can celebrate achievings like the all score leaders, but them turn the eye to the others stats, the guy was for the most part of his career an iron man, 20 years of prodution and one of the core points of his teams system, the only fault in his career is a lack of a ring but thats most of the stars and superstars in late 80s and 90s, the league was under the thumb of Magic, Bird and later MJ.

1. His name is John
2. He looks like a math teacher
3. He played for the Jazz
No it’s cuz ppl like jxmy
The main reason Jxmmy put older players so high when they are objectively worse is cuz of his criteria, where he stated that the era players played in was a factor.
Worst in what sense? If rules apply, then this takes a whole another turn. THe older eras had rules that strict their games to a certain that doesn't restrict today's players. For example, players today are able to carry in oppose to strict ball handling rule in the 1950s and 1960s in which your hands can only stay on top of ball, so they had to dribble a certain way...making it look awkward.

Still don't get the Stockton disrespect tbh. I get that he's not the flashiest guy in the world and he never really jumps out in the highlight films, but he got it done for a really long time. Just for context, Chris Paul right now at age 37 has fallen off a cliff (11-5-9 on 51% true shooting) and is missing a lot of games due to injury. Stockton at the same age started every game and averaged 12-3-9 on 59% true shooting. I'm not trying to suggest that Stockton is better than CP3 (Paul blows him away in ability), but as Jxmy said in his video, their **careers** (emphasizing this because I think both Solz and Sage didn't get this part) are remarkably similar.
I'm, a casual, but if CP3 has fallen off with those stats, then Stockton wasn't too much better
His injury is a factor for sure, but that's about it
@@nachoalvarez7171their peaks are more comparable than you think. peak stockton averaged 17/14 and 3 steals on 60% ts. peak cp3 averaged 21/11.6 and 3 steals on 57% ts. i do think that chris paul’s assists were more valuable than stockton’s, so i give chris paul the edge in peak. that’s not considering the 19 years of quality production stockton provided. he started 82 games for the last four years of his career, and all 50 in the lockout shortened year five years before his retirement. honestly it comes down to preference, but i think it’d be easier to win more over a longer period of time with stockton than cp3.
