Interesting article.

Some crazy stats:
If you excluded 5000 assists from the Jazz great, he would still be 4th all time in history; if you do the same with Kidd, he would drop to 19th.
Lebron James, 4º in all time assists, has 10.420; the 64th place, Kenny Anderson, has less than half, 5.196. This 5.224 difference is lower than the 5.386 between Stockton and Lebron.
If you took away the first 3 and last 3 seasons from Stockton, he would still be all time NBA assist leader. Similar result would happen if you did the same to his 6 last seasons.
Finally, if you added up the total assists from each season leader in the last 19 years (remember that Stockton played 19 seasons), you would have 14.757. still inferior to the Jazz Great (15.806).
