Let's not forget ... John Stockton's been playing NBA point guard at a high level for 18 years. John Stockton is 40 years old, and he's playing point guard in the NBA playoffs. I'm going to say it again: He's 40, and he's playing the point in the playoffs. Wrap your mind around that for a minute. We're not talking a Robert Parish clog-up-the-middle 40, or a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar farewell 40. We're not talking a Sam Perkins sniping-from-the-perimeter 40, either. We're talking a run-the-ship, mix-it-up, the-team-couldn't-live-without-him 40. We're talking the most relevant, productive, dominant 40-year-old in NBA history. |
