John Stockton’s jersey, at least a giant fascimile thereof, is carried by longtime season ticket holders at Stockton’s going away party June 7, 2003, at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. It was signed by hundreds of fans. The Spokane native and former Gonzaga Bulldog retired after 19 seasons with the Jazz. Now, he’s among the 16 finalists to be considered this year for the NBA Hall of Fame. Story below. Photo by Jesse Tinsley/the spokesman-review story by Bergum

Stockton is my all time favorite Jazz player. I went to his jersey retirement game a few years ago in SLC. What a great moment!
