Frank Layden & John Sockton

[RonnieBrewer (Reverse Layup)]

Fond memories: If Frank Layden, the former coach and president of the Utah
Jazz, went out on a limb to select John Stockton with the 16th pick of the
1984 NBA draft, it might have been simply for the sake of material.

"He has a lot of things going for him," Layden would say.
"He's Irish, Catholic, he laughs at my jokes, and his dad owns a bar.
What more could I want?"

Ba-da-bing.

Everyone was Layden's straight man, including Stockton.

After his rookie year, Stockton was speaking at a luncheon in Spokane and
recalled the first John Stockton Poster Night at the Salt Palace, where the
Jazz then played their home games. He recalled going to the free-throw line
and having a paper airplane sail across the court, landing at his feet.

"I picked it up and unfolded it," he said, "and it was a poster of me."

"Yeah," and Layden chimed in, "and I was the guy who threw it."

推 gratitude:其實我說的打壓是指教練一直到第四年才讓他站上先發控衛
推 gratitude:根據我的分析數據，Stockton第二年就應該領軍先發，就如
推 gratitude:今年的Deron。 我實在不懂那個年代爵士還有誰的控球比他
推 gratitude:更好更有破壞力。
推 gratitude:這個"誤判"會不會讓Stockton少了2000助攻呢？
