I understand the Malone hate; Malone was such a twat... But why does Stockton bug you so much?
Sure, he'd push the rules as far as he could get away with, but so would Bowen... He was pretty much a model pro in the same mode, who worked really hard, and played some pretty awesome ball. Unlike that Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_ Malone, he wasn't going to try and hurt somebody when he lost. Stockton put it all on the court, would play as hard as he could, and at the end of the series, no hard feelings...

Watch that video a few times. That one Stockton backscreen on Robinson at ~18 seconds was one of his cleaner backscreens of the series, tbh. Malone was pretty dirty, but mostly because he was strong. Stockton was the player who went out there trying to injure you. Thankfully he wasn't quite strong enough to get it done most of the time, although I do remember he knocked out DRob with a back injury during a game once.
The best thing Rodman ever did as a Spur was deliver that cheapshot on Stockton, tbh.

Yes, Stockton hurt people over the years. And he used to love the elbow/forearm to the ribs. Give him credit, I guess, for being sneaky enough to get by with it. But he was a dirty bastard. And I don't say that about many players.
For the record, two of the most famous times when Bruce was supposed to have extended a foot under a jumpshooter, the guys were shooting 3's and launched so that they came down about 2-3 feet inside the arc, after letting the ball fly. (One was Ray Allen, I forgot who the other was.) If you have to give a guy that big of a cushion to avoid getting accused of being dirty, you might as well say that you can't defend a 3-point shooter. I'm not saying Bruce never got under a shooter, but the two cases they always use as "proof" are bullshit.

Now that I think about it, winning Game 4 could give some closure. IIRC, the Jazz never eliminated the Spurs in front of a San Antonio crowd. I know they never swept the Spurs.

Yep, that's about where I call it. They were both utter bastards to play against who would use any trick they could get away with on the floor. They wouldn't deliberately try and injure someone, unlike say Karl Malone (see Drob, Isiah Thomas, etc). And once the game was over, it was over, and they were men about it...
And personally, I don't define that as dirty play. If the ref will let you do it, go ahead, so long as it's not going to injure someone ... Getting your forearm/Elbow into somebodys ribs... is take it and dish it back out territory. Bruises are price of admission.
Dirty is Raja Bell clotheslining Kobe. Reggie Evans grabbing some nuts. Rondo throwing Hinrich into the scorer's table. It's where you're trying to hurt someone, not play ball.

What was the call for that anyways? You'd think a judo slam would be a flagrant 1 or 2, but I bet nothing was even called.
I was a Rockets fan back in the 90s when I didn't really know jack about the NBA (I turned 10 when the Spurs won their first :lobt:), and one of my top ten favorite players was Stockton. I can officially say he's now one of my top 10 most despised players.

Re: I Hope Karl Malone and John Stockton Were Watching That
Here's an extended video of that Stockton/Robinson dust-up:
Stockton's initial backscreen was even dirtier. Too bad JR Reid didn't connect with that elbow, tbh.
And then Stockton with the premeditated takedown of Robinson. If Bowen did that, he would have received a multiple game suspension. There's no way Bowen was ever that outwardly dirty.
No offense to anyone, but if you look at Stockton's choirboy looks and think he wasn't a dirty player, you simply didn't watch 90s basketball. Stockton was dirtier and tried to hurt players more than anyone in the league. Those two backscreens on Robinson alone (and those literally happened about 30 times per game) should be proof enough that he was no saint.
Stockton was the toughest, meanest S.O.B. in the game. It's a lot of the reason why he was such a great player. But to think that he wouldn't slice your favorite player's throat to win a game is naive.

To me, the redemption was that final weekend in '99, punking their ASSES in SLC. Even though Malone was awarded the MVP, he was always the second best PF on the floor in our games after that one glorious 99 beat down. That one O rebound dunk by TIm may have been the most raw emotion ever shown by Tim on the floor in 15 seasons.

That all initially began with Stockton illegally screening Robinson and getting pissed Robinson threw him aside. JR Reid had already experienced Stockton's illegal screens and gave him a second reason to be mad. So Stockton takes in out on David, who he knows wont try to hurt him.
I watched Stockton screen illegally so many times I wanted to vomit. He would use the bow to the belly. He would use a knee to a knee. And after he had done the dirty deed, he would flop screen. He would just step in front of moving players constantly and one never knew if he was going for a dirty blow or flopping.
But... the guy could really play.
Malone was dangerously dirty because he was so massive. Malone pulling Stockton tricks would have put a bunch of people down and out.

Again, I'm waiting on a response: how many times did you guys beat Stock and Malone in the playoffs? It's an easy question :P
It's been 14 years since that 1998 Finals, and the Spurs have won 4 :lobt2: in that time.
How many have the Jazz won in that time? It's an easy question. :lol
Oh, BTW...the 1999 Championship was over the Knicks, not the Lakers. :lol

The win against the Pistons was probably te only impressive one, but we all know damn well that this team wasn't half as good as the 96-98 bulls.

Cold-blooded how Jordan made Malone miss all those free throws in Seattle.

Also, seeing as Poppovich has recently said that Duncan has been starting as a center for 15 years, its safe to say that Karl Malone is the undisputed greatest PF of all time; Timeh will probably be in 5th place for best center- shucks.
