John Stockton on Karl Malone: He is literally inseparable for me as a brother

John Stockton: “Just one thing after another. Just kind of bond, bond, bond, bond to where now he is literally inseparable for me as a brother. We don’t see each other every day. We talk occasionally on the phone. That term is probably overused, but there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Karl Malone, and I think he feels the same way.”

This week’s @YouTube Hoop Collective short with @Brian Windhorst and @Tim MacMahon: in the wake of LeBron James passing Karl Malone on the all-time scoring list, is there another active player who will pass Malone, too? youtu.be/rPLiNEuT5Do – 1:17 PM Justin Kubatko @jkubatko
📅 On this day in 1986, the @Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan scored 19 points in a win over the Knicks, starting a streak of 1,041 consecutive games with 10 or more points (postseason included).
It’s the longest such streak in NBA history by 366 games (Karl Malone, 675). pic.twitter.com/F3XrmUAME0 – 12:01 PM Justin Kubatko @jkubatko
Chris Paul last night:
17 PTS
13 AST
6-10 FG
It’s the 489th time Paul has recorded at least 10p/10a in a game.
The only players in NBA history with more such games are John Stockton (714) and Magic Johnson (543). pic.twitter.com/XwJfgxHGXm – 9:31 AM Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
