Assisted: The Autobiography of John Stockton

2014

Synopsis

A fast, gritty, durable player who could read a basketball floor as well as anyone who ever played the game, John Stockton left the NBA after nineteen seasons with the Utah Jazz, holding a massive assist record, including the career mark (15,806). He also twice led the league in steals with a career total of 3,265 and retired as the NBA s all-time leader. And during Stockton s career, the Jazz never missed the playoffs.

Coach Frank Layden said, Nobody thought that he was going to be this good. Nobody. But the thing was, nobody measured his heart.

Johns autobiography, Assisted, pulls back the curtain on his very personal life to show fans a thoughtful recounting of the people, places, and events that have connected with John along his path of extraordinary success. This book clearly illustrates the importance of his family, his faith, and his unparalleled competitive spirit.
