Brad Rock: David Stockton headed to the Utah Jazz, and his famous father rejoices

SALT LAKE CITY — It was something John Stockton will never forget.

Not the shot against Houston that sent the Jazz to the NBA Finals in 1997. That was good. But this?

It’s all about the kid.

“We’re beyond excited,” said the Hall of Fame guard.

Stockton’s son David signed a 10-day contract to play for — wait for it — the Utah Jazz on Friday, the former Jazzman confirmed. That’s right, dad and lad. One spent 19 years with the Jazz and collected more assists than any player in history. The other spent 10 days with the Sacramento Kings and has recently played for the Reno Bighorns of the G League.
