FYI of sports, but today man We're gonna break down The two Top point guards and again, I have Steph Curry as my top point guard of this era. I have John Stockton as The top point guard of the 90s here. So I'm gonna break down why I have selected those two players So we're gonna run down just you know Really we're gonna give a really quick preview and run down to each player And then after we give a quick preview and run down to each player We just kind of kind of break down the stats, you know, see what the teller the tape is See how their careers unfolded. Obviously, we know that Steph Curry is still playing So he has a lot more to still to prove but you know with regards, you know Steph Curry's he's accomplished a lifetime Of things in his career so far and he still has you know, seven maybe eight more years to go you know, we never know and You know again that these are the two players we got to go with so, you know when we when we break down these two players We got to start with John Stockton We got to start With John Stockton of the Utah Jazz now the reason why I selected this guy As the best point guard in the 90s again, I like to use my criteria Especially when when I when I look at how 90s fans View the top players or at least view the top player of the 90s Which was Michael Jordan? The one consistent theme when we talk about Michael Jordan was his record in the finals and six and on the finals So obviously getting to the finals winning championships That's what matters most especially when you're you're you're trying to When you're trying to nitpick between great players You know when some people make that comparison between LeBron and Mike sometimes it comes down to championships Mike was the better winner Mike was the better champion So when I chose John Stockton, I looked at who was the most successful point guard in the 90s who won the most? Who accomplished the most? And when I look at who got to the finals the most well It was definitely John Stockton John Stockton went to the finals back-to-back years against Michael Jordan in the Bulls Unfortunately, they were not able to beat the Bulls. But you know, at least he got there, you know I know guards like Gary Payton was in consideration. He got there once You know, there were a few other guards, you know that we can mention, you know, we got Kevin Johnson of the Suns But when we look at your career your longevity your greatness over the 90s there's no do you cannot deny you cannot doubt that John Stockton was the best point guard of the 90s because again we Cannot just take into consideration stats just like when we compare Jordan and Mike We cannot just use stats alone because the stats alone are going to be in LeBron's favor due to longevity We have to use everything and John Stockton's success on the court his ability to lead a team Even though he wasn't necessarily the best player on his team his ability to lead a team and they were consistently good year and year I know they had a few first-round playoff exits But his teams for the most part or do the 90s made the playoffs every single year So he always gave his team a chance to win So obviously we know John Stockton is going to go down as one of the top three passers in NBA history His his ability to pass the ball his ability to play off the pick and roll was second and none He probably understood to pick and roll better than any player in NBA history Even including today's game where pick and roll is even more prevalent. So John Stockton Great point guard at a 90s great career Definitely the best passer of the 90s very solid defender very underrated defender at that A lot of people look at his steals numbers and you know and say that that was a bit skewed No, John Stockton was a very very stout defender And again, he's my selection for the top point guard of the 90s We got Steph Curry man are the Golden State Warriors man. This man came out of Davidson University again, he I Love players who kind of get it out to mud who grind their grind their way who have to work? To where they gotten Steph Curry undersized guard undersized player for his position came into the NBA With questions with regards to Kenny stay healthy Starting on early on in his career He dealt with a number of ankle injuries where people, you know, even the Golden State Warriors doubted his long-term health He was able to bounce back from those injuries. And as soon as he was able to bounce back from those injuries man the man Just start putting up unbelievable numbers essentially changing the game of basketball He's probably gonna go down and he already is in a lot of people's book as the greatest shooter in NBA history But his ability to play make and pass the ball has always been underrated because we always look at his offense But the man is an extremely good playmaker. He's an extremely great teammate We know that he has the ability to be the best player on his team First unanimous MVP, this is league has ever seen and again Steph Curry's greatness it is is It's something that is going to be remembered for years and years on end primarily because of how he's changed the game of basketball He's changed the way that teams defend Defenses have to be more stretched out Because of his ability to stretch the court He allows other players to be even greater when we talk about clay Thompson Even when we talk about Draymond Green's ability to score the ball None of that can happen if Steph Curry's not on the court with his ability to stretch the floor So we have Steph Curry out of Golden State Warriors elite shooter wanted probably the best shooter at NBA history Definitely a champion definitely a winner And I'm not sure again. I think that we players like this. We definitely really don't appreciate them Until they're retired until they're out of the game. This is a player right now We need to admire this type of greatness and understand that this is not something that can be duplicated This is not something we will ever see again So make sure whenever the Golden State Warriors play next year you start to tune in and you need to admire greatness Because this man has changed the game is he continuing to do so And I definitely see this guy winning more championships down the line All right. So now that we have broke down the tail of the tape now that we broke down the tail of the tape You know The one thing we like to go to Here at FYSF sports is we got to go to the drawing board the drawing board exposes everything All right. So as you can see here We're at the drawing board man again. We got to break down these two players career so far Obviously, we know that Steph Curry still has a lot of work to do in his career He's a year. He's at a year 11 Probably has another at least another Three to four years of elite basketball in them in today's basketball world and we know technology is superior These players can play a lot longer And with his ability to shoot he's definitely gonna play, you know up to 17 18 years if he chooses to do so So again, we're just gonna break down these two players careers Obviously accolades stats playoff careers and then we just break down the best decision from that point forward on who The more elite player is and again when we're talking about two greats, especially of two different eras We have to nitpick everything. We have to break down all of the finer details the stats Including their outcomes on the court their ability to win on the court So obviously you can see what the honors and awards Steph Curry's a two-time MVP of the NBA First unanimous MVP ever and again, I think when we have players in this league like Kareem will Magic Johnson Larry Bird to say that you were the first Even Michael Jordan to say that you were the first ever unanimous MVP in the NBA I think that's a great accomplishments accomplishment It shows how you were able your dominance at least in one season and Steph's Single best season I was when he was able to lead the Warriors to their first championship Again, he completely shocked the league his style of play Steve Kerr just kind of unleashed him Mark Jackson helped build him up Steve Kerr just unleashed him on the NBA He brought that championship pedigree in and he allowed the Golden State Warriors to excel But Steph Curry obviously beats out John Stockton with MVPs. He has two MVPs John Stockton has none first NBA selections Now again Steph Curry's only in year 11. He's gonna get more all-nba first teams Again, if he can continue playing at that elite level as everyone predicts he will But already and it's just his 11 year career versus John Stockton's 19 year career Steph Curry has three all-nba first teams Now Steph Curry's made the all-nba team six times in his career that which means three of those He was second team John Stockton, you know, very very solid man 11 to 19 years. You've made an all-nba team That's solid. I like that. So again John Stockton, you know consisted in the 90s On the Utah Jazz team that was always competitive now defensive teams I keep telling you guys John Stockton is one of the most underrated defenders in NBA history All you have to do is go back and watch his tapes. The man was extremely smart on defense. He wasn't the fastest He didn't have the fact the best foot speed but the man knew how he understood angles and he understood player tendencies This is something that Steph Curry has struggled with in an NBA today where you can't grab guys or you can't hand check guys Where you can't slow him down You know with your arms and things of that nature You have to be less physical on defense Steph Curry has struggled on the defensive end Now Steph Curry the one thing that I do like like about Steph Curry on defense is he gives max effort on defense so although he struggled defensively, I can't knock him because at the end of the day Steph Curry has Given max effort on defense, but again John Stockton and Steph Curry I have to give defense the defensive edge to John Stockton because For a good eight year stretch in the 90s. He probably was one of the best defensive point guards And we had guys like Gary Payton in the league who kind of overshadowed him But a lot of people did and this is one of the reasons why a lot of people forget that John Stockton was an elite defender at point guard in the 90s Now scoring leader obviously Steph Curry all offensive category Steph Curry's is probably gonna blow John Stockton out the door Steph Curry is just one of those offensive talents that we will never see before. He's led the league in scoring one time Potentially could have led the league in scoring a lot more If Kevin Durant did not join the Golden State Warriors, and he just simply took a backseat to a more elite scorer Assist leader John Stockton is definitely I would say I would say John Stockton is the more elite passer Better I would say he definitely has better court vision better court awareness as far as passing the ball We've seen we've seen Steph Curry make some really really bad blunders sometimes in the playoffs sometimes in a Regular season when he when he does try to make plays with that pass Not taking anything away from Steph Curry's ability to pass the ball, but it's just not one of his strongest suits He's a great playmaker. He's a great passer But John Stockton far far is far superior in that particular category Which is why he led the league in assists nine times And again, that's not that's domination in the 90s when you're able to leave one statistical category for the majority of a decade Again you completely dominated the air and that's that quarter. We got to give assists to John Stockton steals leader Steph Curry again the man gives max effort on defense now. He is he the greatest defender no But to go out there and be able to lead the league in steals at least one time for any NBA player That's an accomplishment so for the fact that Steph Curry has such an offensive load to carry And he was able to do it one time I have to give him a lot of props for that John Stockton's led the league in steals twice again very very underrated defender I'm extremely surprised he never won a defensive player of the year in the 90s, but again, you know It's just goes to show you how defense even in the 90s was really overrated You know when we think of defensive players in the 90s. We always talk about the Hakeem's Robbins David Robinson even Michael Jordan and Scottie Pittman primarily because of their their length their size their athleticism and We forget about John Stockton's because again the man defensively was Gifted he was extremely gifted defensively. He understood angles. You could tell he studied film He understood player tendencies, and he was able to Stifle opponents because he was able to out think him So again steals leader again there wash right there and steals leaders But John Stockton again defensively he's far superior to Steph Curry Now when we go to regular season stats again regular season stats We know that Steph Curry started his career off slow. He started his career off slow Due to those injuries, but again points per game. That's all again all of these offensive stats As far as scoring a ball Steph Curry's going too far He's gonna blow John Stockton out the door John Stockton was not necessarily a scoring guard Although he could score the ball. So Steph Curry 23.5 points a game John Stockton 13.1 Steph Curry 4.5 rebounds of games 2.7. I really don't want to give Steph Curry the edge I would say rebounding wise that's pretty pretty much even Primarily because this kind of the pace of play so many shots are going up in today's game There's just so many opportunities for rebounds, but because of the amount of threes that are shot There's more of an opportunity for long rebounds. So this is why you didn't see a lot of guards In the 90s with really high rebounding numbers, even if they were big guards So this is because the game they didn't choose many threes when you shoot more threes That means what it means more long rebounds. So Steph Curry's 4.5 rebounds a game I'll have to say that's a wash with John Stockton Mainly because again the style of playing in 90s and the style of play in this era are different in this day and age Guards are gonna get more rebounds why because more threes are shot and when threes are shot those are long rebounds And those rebounds typically go to guards Alright, so we got assists per game Steph Curry now Steph Curry still a great playmaker But his job on the team with the Golden State Warriors was to be a score So the fact that he's able to score the ball at the clip that he does and still average 6.6 assists a game I think that's great But when we're just talking about straight playmaking and being a floor general John Stockton 10.5 assists the game now what I do wish Stockton John Stockton was an underrated scorer. I feel is if he would have Took less focus off of running the offense so much and actually went and tried to score the ball more They could have been a more lethal team but Again, he was a floor general. He wanted his coaches Jerry Shalom they wanted to play that style of play where that he was not this the focal point of the offense and And I think that essentially hurt them because they needed him to score more when they played at the Bulls They needed him to score more even other series when Jordan retired and they failed to make the NBA Finals as well So again, he has a really high assist number. But again, I think he just went above and beyond his job I think he did his job too. Well, I think if he would have stepped back from that pass and roll some it became Became more of a score That would have helped that you taught chess team out especially with the balance and scoring They needed just a bit more balance because Karl Malone had to do all the scoring Everybody else just kind of picked up points as they went along But John but John Stockton 10.5 assists per game to average 10.5 assists per game for your career is extremely difficult extremely hard And John Stockton was able to accomplish that steals per game John Stockton 2.2 Steph Curry 1.7 again defense in the 90s was different a lot and again when we have to just like I was honest about Steph Curry's rebounding numbers and why he may have Slightly higher rebounding. I have to be honest about John Stockton steals numbers defense in the 90s was different Defense in the 90s. You could be more physical. You could grab guys. You can hand check guys. So Um, is that basketball? Some people say it's not basketball. Some people say it is basketball, but at the end of the day I don't consider hand checking a skill hand checking is something that everybody can do. It does not take a lick of Athleticism. It doesn't take any Defensive awareness or defensive IQ. It's just something that players do and it's something that a player will do When you're guarding somebody who's the superior athlete generally is faster than you and you need to slow them down So, I don't I don't I don't want to give and I don't want to give John Stockton a leg up All the way defensively because again, they're playing in two different areas. There's two different styles of play We don't know how Steph Curry would fare In a league if you could hand check and slow guys down Maybe he would look better defensively, especially because he gives so much effort on the defensive end in this era without hand checking So again, it's just about being fair Again you guys let me know what you think about hand checking. Is it a skill? Was the NBA right for taking it out the game? I think the NBA was right for taking it out the game There's a reason why coaches even the greatest coaches They say show your hands There's a reason why coaches say that coaches have been saying that even beforehand even while hand checking wasn't a game why you show your hands because you need to show your hands because instead of Instead of having your hand on a guy see when your hand is on somebody in your hand checking That means you your hands can't actively cover passing lanes That means if that guards good enough He's still gonna be able to get the ball wherever he wants because all you're doing is just putting one arm on them passing lanes Are wide open you don't have a hand in his face on the shot You don't have a hand in the passing lane to prevent him from going wherever he wants on the court So I think there's there's a good and a bad to hand checking Yes hand checking will slow you down, but hand checking will not stop you from making plays You you will have every opportunity to make all you all the plays you want with hand checking So again, I would say if I'm being honest if I'm being honest about These particular skill sets. I think I would say it's a wash on the steals With John Stockton being a slightly better defender but I feel like the steals will balance themselves out if Steph Curry had the Opportunity to hand check and play more of an aggressive style on defense Blocks per game. Obviously, that's a wash with point guards. That's not really a category. We like to consider All right. We got total stats here now again John Stockton 19 years in the league 19,000 points Steph Curry is at year 11 with 16,000 points. So the way it's looking now is it's looking as if Steph Curry's going to Blow past John Stockton and just total points Obviously Steph is a good greater offensive player with regards to rebounds again I got to be fair about rebounds Steph Curry just gets the opportunity to rebound the ball more because of the way the game is Played but he's more than likely gonna blow past John Stockton in rebounds as well. Steph Curry gets that Steph Curry will not catch John Stockton in assists. There's no way he catches him in assists This again, this is something that this is what John Stockton did I think John Stockton passed the ball too much So and I think his because he was such a willing passer It hurt his team because a lot of people don't understand that this man was also a great score them in the 1990 playoffs This man averaged 27 points a game 27 points a game any player in the playoffs who can average 27 points a game. You are a great score And again, I think he passed the ball so much. So it was a detriment to his team. Yes, he put up great Assist numbers, but the Utah Jazz needed more scoring especially in the in those playoff series against the Houston Rockets Especially in some of those first-round losses to Seattle and the Phoenix Suns Especially in the finals against the Chicago Bulls They needed more scoring and starts and I wish John Jerry Salone was able to change his philosophy up some and tell Stockton to emphasize scoring the ball more as Opposed to trying to be a playmaker passer so much Again, we got steals I'm not for sure here on this particular category It looks as if this is something and you know Maybe maybe Steph Curry can catch John Stockton in total steals. I don't know I Think that might be a wash right there I think they might be pretty much even but again that that will be a story to tell at a later date blocks again an irrelevant category For point guards and then we have total games. Obviously, we know John Stockton played a lot more games because Steph Curry still playing Now we got our percentages. I love percentages because it's percentages really really exposed a lot You can't use longevity when it comes to percentages for your percentage is what it is It tells what you do normally what you do on the average basis now with Steph Curry His field goal percentage is going is 47 John Stockton is 51 again John Stockton did not look to score the ball as much he shot fewer shots field goal percentage 51% Steph Curry 47% field goal field goal percentage, but he shoots the ball a lot more He's the leading he's the go-to scorer for his team in most seasons So because he shoots a high volume of shots to be able to shoot 47% is great again I hold it against Stockton that he did not shoot the ball more because he was a great scorer I think that was a detriment to his career three-point shooting We know Steph Curry's too far superior three-point shooter 43% on his career. John Stockton could make the three again He just did not shoot enough of them, but John Stockton hit the three at 38% free throw percentage now You would think John Stockton would be a 90% free throw shooter He wasn't Steph Curry is 90% for his career and what makes that 90% for Steph Curry even greater is the fact that he goes To the free throw line so many times he goes to the free throw line so many times So you would assume his percentage would drop if he misses he's consistently shot at a 90% clip every season He takes pride in not missing free throws Now We're gonna go to their best season Steph Steph Curry's best season scoring the ball 30.1 points a game John Stockton 17.2 again John Stockton is a player in the 1990 playoffs who averaged 27 points for a game 27 points per game his best scoring season overall. It was 17.2 points a game They needed more scoring out of him. And again, that was in 1990 So we see in 1990 when he averaged 17.2 points a game. He could score the ball He had the aptitude to go score the ball for whatever reason that Utah philosophy did not call for him being aggressive offensively again I think that was a detriment to Utah's ability to win championships rebounds per game Obviously Steph is gonna have higher rebounding numbers John Stockton again in 1990 14.5 assists per game 14.5 assists per game. I mean the man averaged 17.2 points per game and 14.5 points per game Now I see why they chose John Stockton over Isaiah Thomas Going into the dream team for the dream team Olympics. This is why the man the man Was an extremely good scorer. The man was a great passer Again in 1990 Isaiah Thomas was on the tail end of his career This is why John Stockton was selected. So a lot of people who say that Isaiah Thomas was blackball Yes, he was probably blackball to some degree because of his antics on the court Because of the some of the antics that the Pistons did but at the end of the day John Stockton was no slouch He was a great player in his own steals per game best season Steph Curry 2.1 Stockton 3.2 and a lot of people you need to understand 3.2 steals of game to average that on a season is extremely hard But again when you have advantages defensively such as hand checking and the ability to be more physical Again that Kind of skews your numbers so again if John Stockton were to play in this area where he couldn't be hand check where his foot speed was a lot slower and And he would get more foul trouble. I don't know if those still stills numbers would be the same But you got to commend them for being able to go out and get 3.2 steals per game All right, so we got to go down to best to their playoff stats Playoff stats again scoring wise Steph Curry 26.5 points a game. This is going to this is going to Far exceed John Stockton's. This is what I did. Now. This is what I Did when you look at John Stockton's playoff average the man went to the playoffs. I think every year in the 1990s He only averaged 13.4 points per game You know, why is that now? He could score the ball. He can score the ball. Why didn't he? You know, I think again his his his his his playmaking ability Was a detriment to the team's overall success because if you turned into more of a score He was able to take up more that scoring loan with Karl Malone I think they could have went farther into the playoffs Rebounds per game again. This is a watch category because again different errors allow I think if Stockton played in this era He will probably be averaging around five rebounds a game because again more threes are taken those rebounds are getting collected by guards Assist per game in John Stockton 10 assists a game in the playoffs was that's what he averaged Again that you guys don't understand how hard it is to average 10 assists a game A lot of people just say a lot of people say if you're playing with Steph Clay and these guys It's easy to average 10 10 assists a game. No, that's not how the NBA works. Steph and Clay are not just running off screens They create for themselves. They score in transition They do a number of other things to score the ball and sometimes when you pass them the ball Sometimes they miss shots. They don't make everything. So getting 10 assists a game is extremely hard That's why you got to give credit to John Stockton for what he did passing the ball steals per game Again, it's one of those categories where I know John Stockton was slightly better defensively because of his defensive IQ But when I look at these still stats again, I have to credit some of that to the era And again hand checking is not a positive and there's a lot of people say that you couldn't hand check in the 90s What I want you to understand if you are a basketball player hand checking is not a skill set Hand checking is not a talent hand checking is something anybody can do on any level All you have to do is stick a forearm out or stick an arm out and hold your man. It's not a talent It's what you do a lot of times When the guy in front of you is a far superior player or athlete This is what they did to Jordan throughout the entire 90s Alright so then though the fact that they were able to do that to Jordan throughout the entire 90s shows that he was a Superior offensive player because he played through the hand checking but it does not give credit to the people playing defense because again Sticking your hand out hand checking. Somebody is not a skill Doesn't take talent to do that again you what you're doing is you're giving yourself an advantage By holding a player in front of you again, that's just not good basketball Blocks per game again another irrelevant stat another relevant stat. So we obviously we got the total stats for the playoffs Steph Curry's already passed up John Stockton in the playoffs, you know, your best players have to score the ball in the playoffs This is something that John Stockton just and in his coaching. They never really understood this particular philosophy He needed to step up in the playoffs to score I just relying on Karl Malone and some of the other guys around him just did not get the job done Total rebounds in the playoffs. I mean in 11 years Steph Curry's able to amass 604 Steph Curry or John Stockton is only at 608. So this is something that at the end of their careers Steph Curry's gonna Blow them out the door on those rebounds in the playoffs Assist again. This is a number that nobody's really gonna be able to touch not even not Steph Curry even Chris Paul He might not come close to this. He may I don't know But Steph Curry's Steph Curry, but at the end of it at the end of his career, he's probably gonna be around 1300 1400 assists in the playoffs. This is a very good number, especially for somebody who has so much work to do on the offensive end Then we have blocks and steals again. We've explained that that's been a bit repetitive again with the hand checking I don't give his 90s players as much credit defensively because the refs allowed a lot more it was an uglier game Defensive players had an advantage because they were able to there was there was essentially a foul That was allowed by rule that they could utilize to to keep you handicapped on offense And again the percentages in the playoffs fairly similar fairly similar John Stockton's three-point field goal percentage significantly dropped in the playoffs. It went down to 32% That's not a very good three-point field goal percentage, especially for a good shooter and John Stockton was a good shooter I'm John Stockton's free throw percentage went down in the playoffs to 81% Again with John Stockton. He Would he didn't shoot a lot of free throws? So the fact that he was only hitting 81% again for as good of a shooter was I want to wanted to him to see Him in the 90% Steph Curry's at 90% consistent with what he normally does 40% from the three-point line consistent consistently what he normally does in the regular season in both of their averages dropped Field goal percentage wise in the playoffs because we know playoff defense. It's just a little bit more intense So their best playoff their best playoffs the best playoff performances We see John Stockton averaged 27.3 points a game in 1989. We know he can go score the ball We know John Stockton go score the ball why they did not give him More set plays why did it in why they didn't uncuff him unhandcuff him and let him put let him Be the focal scoring point to help Carl Malone. I don't know But Steph Curry 2015 unstoppable in the playoffs. They led him to a championship over LeBron James Rebounds Steph Curry has that Steph Curry's best playoff 8.4 assists per game. That's not bad John Stockton 15 the average 15 assists a game in the playoffs I mean what that shows you right there is John Stockton was a low-key Ball dominant guard. He dominated the basketball a lot. The offense was ran through him Similar to LeBron James. They relied on John Stockton to make the home run play. He just did it in a different fashion So a lot of people knock LeBron James because he's seeking out that scoring play He's always cert for trying to find the best play making the best pass John Stockton did that his entire career. He did it his entire career again Because you do that and it depends on what type of team you have around you. Is it necessarily a bad thing? No Can it be a detriment to your team success? Yes, because obviously we see that John Stockton was never able to win a championship. We see that LeBron James It went three and six in the NBA Finals. He struggled because again, you cannot Always make the home run play always trying to make the home run play What it does is it frustrates the players around you? And it stress frustrates you as a player when you see players not making open shots. It's a talent to be a spot-up shooter It's not something that every player can do. All right, so Understanding that so I think just just the same way LeBron James probes and tries to find the home run play John Stockton did the same thing and it was a detriment to both of their careers John Stockton took up more of a scoring role. I think maybe they beat the Bulls in one of those championships If he changed his style of play up and and John's Jerry Salone wasn't willing to do that So again at the end of the day We review these players man. We've reviewed both of these players At the end of the day. I have to say that Steph Curry is the far superior player He's the far superior player primarily again We work with what out what my basis on selecting these players My basis on selecting these players is going to be purely off of the 90s fan standard This is this way. No one can say I'm biased the 90s fan stick fan standard Always starts with championships the same way Jordan six and on the finals and he's a champion Far superior record to LeBron's I have to look at championships first Steph Curry is a champion Steph Curry was the best player on a championship team All right, Steph Curry is the two-time MVP There was there was a point in time where Steph Curry was considered the best player in the NBA for at least two years John Stockton was never considered the best player in the NBA. He was considered the best pass in the NBA He was never considered the best score in the NBA Steph Curry was considered for a few years to be the best score in the NBA So I think I think Steph Curry's dominance Dominance Carries him in this right here. He's not just a better winner But he's also the best player on his team and I get again We give the bin of great floor general to John Stockton But at the same time as a floor general One of the things that hurt him was that he probed for assists too much. He sought out the home run play too much And I think because he was seeking the home run play so much it hurt his ability to actually go score the ball Which was something that he could do and which I think that cost him championships as well But again, this is my opinion you guys let me know what you think You know, do you think John Stockton is a better player than Steph Curry? You know again, I tried to give a fair analysis of this. I tried to give a fair analysis of this We're also going to be doing shooting guards Small forwards power forwards and centers. We're gonna pick the two best to each error We're gonna put them up head-to-head and then at the end of the day, we're gonna see who comes out ahead You know are them, you know Are the top is the top of the 90s top of the 90s better than the top of this error? There's only one way to find out we got to put pit the best of the best And so right now that this error is up 1-0 because Steph Curry is the far superior player to John Stockton I make sure you guys let me know what you think about that Hit me up in the comments hit us up on Instagram or Twitter. Let us know what you think I love doing these videos. I love doing these player comparisons because again, you really have to sit down You know even sometimes when you have Questions about certain things you may have to go back and just watch some video even when I when I watch video on John Stockton I saw how good he was defensively. He was very good, but he did use the hand check very effectively Without the hand check how effective would he be in this area? So again, there are a lot of things that I have to implement into this particular decision But at the end of the day, I think this is a pretty easy one I think 90s fans and fans of this area will will will definitely agree that Steph Curry is the far superior player in this particular conversation, but again a FYF sports man Again, make sure you like come subscribe hit that notification bail do all of that good stuff And we will definitely be back with more of these videos next up we're gonna be doing power forge so we're gonna be we're gonna be we're gonna be putting the best power forge of Our era against the power best power forward in the 90s and we'll see how it goes. FYL sports man Another great video and we out
