I love to play, and I appreciate the opportunity to be part of a good organization.
Quote by -John Stockton
Why was I able to be able to pass? What did I do right that allowed me to make a pass - any given pass? There's balance; there's vision.
Quote by -John Stockton
Basketball is a game of streaks. Sometimes a guy will be cold for a month and then get hot for a month.
Quote by -John Stockton
I don't think you ever hear anybody shoot the last shot and say they didn't think it was in.
Quote by -John Stockton
I really don't look at my accomplishments. I really don't think about myself much.
Quote by -John Stockton
You never think about being wide open. I don't know if I can describe the feeling. Tremendous.
Quote by -John Stockton
With kids and all the other activities around the house, I'm finding it harder to give my full attention to basketball.
Quote by -John Stockton
I think I laid it all out there for 19 years, and you don't always achieve all the goals that you shoot for.
Quote by -John Stockton
I don't like to give in to injuries. I don't like to use them as excuses. Everybody has them.
Quote by -John Stockton
If I could turn into my old coaches, or my parents, then I'd consider that a definite plus.
Quote by -John Stockton
Usually for the last play, everyone goes helter-skelter. They go to the wrong spots. They don't do the right thing.
Quote by -John Stockton
I don't crush the kids. But I do want them to know that they have to earn what they get. I'm not like Jimmy Piersall's dad or anything. I mean, I tell them I'm happy if they just do the best they can. My parents were that way with me.
Quote by -John Stockton
My playing time in 1992 was limited because of an injury I suffered in a practice.
Quote by -John Stockton
I never consciously thought about going all the way through the 'Gonzaga farm system,' but that's the way it happened.
Quote by -John Stockton
It's always in a cycle. One set of plays will work really well for a time, and then defenses figure it out, and you go to something else.
Quote by -John Stockton
I had little or no expectations coming in. I was thrilled when I was drafted in the first round because that meant I was going to be given a full year's chance to make the team.
Quote by -John Stockton
Obviously, being in the league for so long, you do have something to offer as a coach.
Quote by -John Stockton
The game's a beautiful game when five guys go out there and give something of themselves so that you can win.
Quote by -John Stockton
If I pass the ball to Karl Malone, he still has to make the shot, or nothing has happened.
Quote by -John Stockton
I guess I'd rather be comfortable and play well because I'm comfortable than to get recognition and play someplace where I wouldn't be comfortable and wouldn't enjoy myself.
Quote by -John Stockton
I had been told I might be drafted in the fourth round. 'Great,' I said at the time.
Quote by -John Stockton
It's quite an honor to be selected to represent my country in the Olympics.
Quote by -John Stockton
I just always believed that all comments are better face-to-face, whether they're derogatory or whether they're not.
Quote by -John Stockton
I've benefited from great coaches my whole life, starting in sixth grade. To be able to pass that on is a neat experience for me.
Quote by -John Stockton
I don't judge my performance on how many assists I have or how many points I have.
Quote by -John Stockton
I think records are irrelevant, but I'm being approached about it all the time. If I could avoid it, that would be great.
Quote by -John Stockton
You don't get this opportunity many times in life to compete against the best in the world every night. I certainly didn't expect to have 10 or 11 years of chances at it, so I don't want to take that for granted.
Quote by -John Stockton
Depending on the point in the game and what's necessary, if you can deliver the play, whatever that is - heck, if it's a screen - and you get a guy open, and he scores a big basket for you, that gives me as much of a charge as anything.
Quote by -John Stockton
The main thing I worry about with the shoes I wear is comfort. What you're comfortable wearing is what you're going to play your best in.
Quote by -John Stockton
The games can go any way. As we know in this league, you can win by 30 or lose by 30 the next night. That is just the way the league is.
Quote by -John Stockton
I think I've preserved most of my private life, and I think that's still important for me, and that's still important for my family.
Quote by -John Stockton
If you think you're doing everything right, then you have a tendency to stand pat.
Quote by -John Stockton
I was thinking back when Karl Malone and I, when one of us would be in the weight room early in the morning, and the other one wasn't there, the first comment to the other person would be, 'It's mighty lonely up here.'
