LEGEND John Stockton holds records in the NBA — and yet the Hall of Famer has decided to give back to the younger generation.
The NBA Hall of Famer, 59, retired from the game in 2003 and coached in various basketball fields.

Stockton played 19 seasons in the NBA after playing for the Gonzaga Bulldogs — where he became the school’s all-time leader in assists and steals.
The Utah Jazz selected him in the first round of the 1984 NBA draft with the 16th overall — a class that included Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Charles Barkley.
In 1987, Stockton became Utah’s point guard as he led the league in assists.
And that year was the first of nine consecutive seasons in which Stockton was the NBA’s assist leader.
During that time, Stockton achieved a single-season record of 1,164 assists in 1990-91.
A vast number of his assists came on passes to power forward and future Hall of Famer Karl Malone.
Stockton would gather 10 career All-Star Game selections and was named first-team All-NBA twice.
However, Stockton never won a title despite making the playoffs in every year of his career with the Jazz.
Following his 2002 retirement from the NBA, Stockton moved back to his hometown of Spokane, Washington.
He started coaching youth basketball teams and was an assistant on seven teams in 2003.
Stockton also trained future Jazz stars Deron Williams and Trey Burke.
In 2009, he would be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
Yet, his attention would eventually shift to spending time working as an assistant coach for Montana State University’s women’s roster.
On top of his coaching, Stockton has also become a part of various businesses including construction projects.
The 59-year-old told Sports Illustrated in 2014 that his life is so much different than his playing days.
“[My life] is kind of a mess of activities.
“There is not the same structure — I don’t have practice at 10, games at 7.
“I get to pick and choose my spots.
“But it’s very busy.”
Stockton has a net worth of $45million and would earn $62million in his NBA career.
