The Hall of Fame

Lauren might not think this is news-worthy, but today John Stockton is going to be inducted into the basketball hall of fame. She might not understand that Stockton is a testament to the fact that though you might be undersized and not have as much athletic ability, hard work and determination can make up for that lack of athleticism. One interesting thing I found out about him this week is that he never hired an agent to negotiate his contracts. That is totally unheard of. He wanted to talk business with the Jazz one-on-one. He sat out less then 30 games in his career. Carlos Boozer sat out more then 30 games last year. Stockton was a hero of my youth and I am glad that he is getting this recognition. Enjoy the video!
