However, to say he never had anyone that's a stretch. Utah Jazz with Malone, Stockton, and Hornacek was a very strong team. Without MJ, I am sure Jazz would have won a title or two.
I wouldn't call Malone - an alltime best PF, Stockton - all time assist leader, nobody is ever going to come close, Hornacek - a very good 3rd option, who averaged 6.6 assists in his first NBA season, as 资质平庸之辈.
Anyways, I do rate Sloan above JVG.
