Former NBA star point guard John Stockton knows how to dish it out, but his latest assist isn’t being received all that well. A clip from the series “Covid and the Vaccine: Truth, Lies and Misconceptions Revealed” is making the rounds on social media, with the former Utah Jazz guard bragging about his expertise on the coronavirus pandemic.
“This isn’t a virus cheating us of this opportunity,” he says of COVID-19. “It’s the guys making decisions saying, ‘No, no we’re too scared. We’re going to shut everything down. Sit in your house and be careful.’ My kids and my grandkids hearing these things and accepting them as truth when I know by my significant amount of research that it isn’t, it’s very frustrating.”

CBS affiliate KREM reported that Stockton also mentioned Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry in a quote that appears on the trailer’s website:
“One of the things that sticks in my head is losing someone like Steph Curry to basketball would be a crime. I just think what a disappointment to this world it would be if that guy didn’t become who he is. So I wonder who we are missing out on right now.”

Stockton was great at basketball, and wearing short shorts. Let’s leave it at that.
