The Rapters were shit except for Vnice Carter before if I remember rightly, but now they're kicking ass!
I'm feeling the only alternative here would be to penalize the deliberate fouls so hard that you allow the shot clock to be run out instead. To be honest, I think I'd prefer that. I mean, you've had the whole fucking game to score points. I understand that wouldn't go down well with most fans though.
I idolized Stockton. When I played in grades 7-8 I tried to emulate him. Except i was a slow hustle player, a PF-C because everyone on my team was so small. I always looked to pass, which really wasn't what Stockton did. He had serious scoring skills and could have averaged 21-22 ppg if he wanted. The only thing i really had in common was that in the 8th grade i got 1.5 steals per game. I think I really just tried to pass to whoever had the better shot. Stockton should go down as one of GOAT at his position.
I kind of collected his cards. The Jazz team that went to the Finals was something special. Stockton, Malone, Hornacek. Even the young guy that took the place of Ty Corbin wasn't bad.
