Top 5 supporting players in NBA History

#3 John Stockton

John Stockton (right) provided everything to Malone to win multiple MVPs!

Those who watched John Stockton and Karl Malone play and know about their team would say that they never won a championship, but why they are listed here? Yes! They never won a championship together, but Stockton was still the best-suited sidekick for Malone.

Stockton was never a great overall Point Guard, but was a great passer and still is one of the greatest. For around 5 consecutive seasons, he averaged around 14 assists per game and that's what helped Malone the most. Most of Stockton's passes were to Malone and a pick-and-roll to him. That was the best way Stockton could help Malone to win 2 MVPs and the rack up 2nd most career points in NBA history.

Stockton proved to be the best sidekick for Malone for sure and the thing that made their relationship better was that Stockton never wanted to make himself look better and always wanted to be a good teammate.
