He was a first round pick by the Jazz in the 1984 NBA Draft and played for Utah throughout his time in the league, averaging 10.5 career assists per game.He formed a formidable duo with Karl Malone, leading the franchise to five conference finals appearances and two berths in the NBA finals (1997, 1998).

He retired in 2003 having never won an NBA championship, but possesses two Olympics Medals from 1992(Dream team) and 1996. Stockton garnered 10 career All-Star Game selections and was named first-team All-NBA twice (1993–94, 1994–95).
