/sp/ i have to do a presentation for my statistics class. I'm thinking about doing it on comparing late 80s/90s Jazz to today's Jazz.

Would it be fair to compare Williams/Boozer to Stockton/Malone?

I'm not asking you to do the work for me, I'm just asking if it's a fair comparison

No b/c Stockton/Malone pick and roll was option 1, 2, and 3 for those teams. Williams/Boozer don't run it at nearly the same rate.

while i agree with>>98580, you'll be able to get away with it pretty easily. use 82games.com and basketball reference for stats. just for fun, compare d-will to stockton at age 27 (17.2 pts, 14.5 ast, 2.7 stl, 51+% from the floor, 42% from 3). don't forget to correct for pace and possession rates (nearly 6 possessions more per game comparing 1990 to 2008, but d-will has the ball in his hands even more often than stockton did).

williams/boozer to stockton/malone is like comparing pure dog shit to a lesbian orgy.

no problem.

if you want to go even further, continue using that 89-90 season, and compare malone's year then with boozer's year this past season (malone was the same age boozer is, both at 26). just goes to show how good he was, and how easy it is to forget that fact - as good as boozer has been, malone's magic chaos elbows got him to the free-throw line over 11 times per game that season (jordan only managed to get it over 10 twice in his career - malone did it 6 times).

There will never be another point guard like John Stockton.
Comparing Williams to him is a disgrace to the poor guy, you should feel bad for just thinking about it.

yeah the numbers say otherwise, which i'm pretty sure is what will matter in a statistical analysis.

Actually, I see Chris Paul looking closer and closer like Stockton than any other point guard.

It's a shame his team was good when the game was completely dominated by the Bulls

Lots of teams were good during Jordan's reign of terror.

OP should look up the article on ESPN.com about the 10 most unbreakable NBA records (might have been sports in general, but I think it was NBA). Stockton's all-time assists and steals records are for all intents and purposes untouchable. I'll see if I can find it and come back with the link.

Stockton in OP looks ripped. I would say, at his prime, he'd be able to hold his own in todays league.

Hold is own. In today's league. I find this statement to be perplexing, as Stockton would fucking dominate today's league.

Well no fucking shit! He's one of the best PG's the league has ever seen, and for you Jordan lovers who always make this argument: HE DOMINATED WHEN THE LEAGUE WAS IN ITS 'GOLDEN YEARS'

So yes, he'd hold his own--by being jesus christ

Stockton and Malone fall short, due to Malone being unable to keep his dick in his pants, and not paying for child support, even when he was making millions:

As God, I officially declare Malone will be anally raped for all eternity in hell.
PS - Stockton deserved a better teammate than that asshole.

listen to this man.

Usage rates are important. Also, try to find stats on how much of an assclown Boozer is compared to Malone.
