Early in his Utah Jazz career, Deron Williams sought out John Stockton for advice

Deron Williams, coming into his rookie season with the Utah Jazz, was aiming to gain a starting point guard role on a team that had previously been led by one of the greatest of all-time, John Stockton.

A 10-time All-Star, 9-time assist champion, 2-time steal champion, and five-time all-defensive team member, Stockton proved his legacy in his 19 seasons and over 1,500 games with the franchise.
