Hey everybody, we have a very, very special guest today. My friend, John Stockton, one of the greatest basketball players all the time, an NBA legend.

John Stockton was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history. He continues to hold the NBA records from his career assists and steals my wide margins in October 2021.

John Stockton was, again, honored as one of the least greatest players of all time, the NBA's 75th anniversary team.

John Stockton was a member of the dream team, the 1992 team was the first US Olympic squad feature NBA players.

And the basketball half end called it the greatest collection basketball talent on the planet. Stockton also played on the 1996 US Olympic basketball team.

He won gold medals in 92 and 96. He spent an entire NBA career as a point guard for the Utah Jazz and the team made playoffs in each of its 19 seasons.

In 1997 and 1998, together with his long time friend and teammate Carl Mellon, Stockton led the Jazz and the franchise, only two NBA final appearances, both of which were lost to the Chicago Bulls.

And Stockton, the 10-time NBA All-Star, two-time Naysmith Memorial basketball half end of the day.

And he is in the press recently or having his lifetime tickets provoked by his alma mater and consigned university from their basketball end for his refusal to wear masks at the basketball game.

And then John and I talking for several years about these issues, then he is a quiet, humble, very reserved man.

He is now fed up with what's happening in this country. And he called me today and said he said the point where he's willing to start talking about it.

So thank you very, very much for joining me on the podcast. Tell us what happened at Gonzaga.

You were like, you are a fixture at those games. You sit across from the students and you inspire them.

It's something that the university has used for years. It was nice.

And your presence there is something that everybody felt.

You probably have a few enemies. And as many admirers throughout your career around the country, you know, everybody respects you.

It was just a humble, sweet, good human being. I just want people who are not basketball fans to understand who you really are.

But then talk about your role at Gonzaga. What happened?

Well, the role is pretty special, actually. I myself, my family, we've enjoyed Gonzaga games way back from the time I played there, but also especially lately, once I retired, we came back home to Spokane.

I probably haven't missed a handful of games since we've been back other than when my kids were playing either in high school or in college or doing something like that, something that took me away from it.

It's a special place for me and my family to go watch, watch my Zags. I mean, it's these kids are special to me.

One of the, one of the members on the team right now, Anton Watson, I coached him in high school and grade school and great kid.
