I almost mentioned Haliburton too. He's been really impressive, so far.
Stockton was certainly a great point guard, but I don't think he had the most audacious passes that those other guys had/have.

I think Stockton had volume though. Consistent passer with lots of assists.

Very much so. Stockton was one of my favorite players when I was a kid. He was the epitome of the "floor general" concept, but he didn't make the same kind of high-leverage passes that Jokic makes or that Nash and Magic were so known for.

One of the greats that never got a ring. I remember seeing him, Karl Malone, and the Jazz play live against the Vancouver Grizzlies back in my early teens. Grizzlies sucked and tickets weren't selling, so they gave out free tickets to high schools. My friends and I got the tickets for a Jazz game, which was really cool. My first ever live basketball game. And of course, the Grizzlies got their asses kicked.
