But I don't know if either player was as durable as Stock. I just checked his career statistics and it appears that he played in every regular season game in all but two of his NBA seasons. That's amazing. Bytemoi,

Or if they played at the level he did at that age. As I stated, I am amazed at his nearly injury-free career, which obviously allowed him to do that. Your "gritty and tough as nails" assessment is well stated. My apologies if you have posted this previously, but do you know if any other NBA player has played past the age John Stockton did?

No wonder he looked so young at the beginning of his career -- I didn't realize he was 41 when he retired! 19 years nearly injury free is unbelieveable. Nice tribute.
