In their primes, which player would you rather have on your team, John Stockton or Isiah Thomas?

Answer 1

I would choose Stock because he is my favorite player before i saw Nash. Although Isiah is a better scorer and rebounder, Stock can produce a lot of points for his teammates. So i choose Stock because he is a better team player and the smartest player of all time....in my book!

Answer 2

After witnessing both players in their prime, I would go with Isiah. He was a much better offensive threat and yet was just as good as Stockton dishing it off. And like Stockton he was a very smart player. Defensively, I think Isiah had the edge. Both could get a lot of steals, but I think Isiah was a better rebounder.

Answer 3

I'm a huge John Stockton fan. A great team needs a true point guard. Stockton's could create plays (NBA's all time assist-man in history) for the team & if needed hit the big shot just like Isiah could. Defensively he is also very good.

Answer 4

Isiah Thomas, he has championship rings. Stockton doesn't.

Answer 5

depends on the makeup of my team.

if i had a bunch full of scrubs, i'll go with isiah being that he's one of the best scoring point guards in the history of the game.

if i had a dominant big man in my team, i'll go with stockton to maximize my big man plays.

Answer 6

Zeke because he could score bunches if he needed to.
Stockton was obviously a better assist man, but Isiah could do that too. Good question though, because both guys were brilliant on the floor, they rarely turned it over, and they were winners.

Answer 7

Isiah, he wasn't just good in assisting but he could definitely dominate a game.

Answer 8

The only edge I give to Isiah is his defensive tenacity. Shooting and passing and ball handling they all balance out between them but the defense tips in Thomas' favor.

Answer 9

Tough one...I'll take Stockton
