Not only did Stockton's shooting parallel Nash's, it exceeded it by quite a bit. He’s also responsible for 6 of the to 10 total assists seasons of all time. You can compare his passing (or Magic’s for that matter) with Nash’s. You have to go down to 31on that list to find Nash. He's not even the best player maker of his time. He's a guy who has benefited tremendously from playing for two great offensive coaches.
