Definitely true about the rings. He was never a great scorer either. But like I said, one of my criteria was how the player helped define his era, and I think Cousy definitely did, and he set the early standard for that type of PG (hell, the collegiate PG award is named after him).
If I was just picking for a pick-up game, I'd definitely take Stockton every time. He was more talented.
