John Stockton, who will be inducted in the Basketball Hall of Fame this week, could be difficult to work with for the media. The Utah Jazz's point guard hid out in the training room after games and gave only cursory answers to questions. He never would sit down for profile interviews. He reserved his great wit and warmth for teammates, friends and family only.
While admitting the escalation of salaries "boggles my mind," Utah Jazz owner Larry H. Miller staged a news conference to announce new multiyear agreements with star players Karl Malone and John Stockton. Although exact terms of the contracts were not disclosed, Malone's contract is an eight-year deal worth an estimated $24 million, while Stockton's is a six-year contract believed to be worth as much as $14 million.
Until they bring rings to Salt Lake City, [Deron Williams] and [Carlos Boozer] never will rate with John Stockton and Karl Malone.

He stood at center court, looking fit enough to play in the game against New Orleans, yet uncomfortable with the fanfare, wishing the game would get going. A few self-effacing remarks, praise for teammates, family and fans, and he was back to his seat and away from the brightest lights.

He won championships and his stature grew.
