John Stockton

I had been told I might be drafted in the fourth round. 'Great,' I said at the time.

I've been lucky to have great coaching, great teammates, and a desire to keep getting better. That, slowly over time, helped me grow from an average high school player to the NBA.

My playing time in 1992 was limited because of an injury I suffered in a practice.

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.

I never consciously thought about going all the way through the 'Gonzaga farm system,' but that's the way it happened.

I think records are irrelevant, but I'm being approached about it all the time. If I could avoid it, that would be great.

I think there are a lot of ways to play the PG position. Scoring first is a way that works for them and their teams. I personally like to watch PGs that like to work for others.

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.
