for testing (anyone can use)

Hey guys, I was surfing through youtube and watched a video on John Stockton and realized I had forgotten that he was the NBA career leader in Assists and Steals. Great player to watch.

So it got me thinking, if Steph had the luck to have the same career longevity Stockton had, and performed at the same level throughout his career, what would his numbers be when he hangs up the shoes? So I satiated my curiosity, did the math on basically just the PG numbers (Points, Assists, Steals, 3PM) for regular season only, and thought you guys would find it interesting. :)

So, Threezus has been in the league for nearly eight full seasons, and even though he had some injury issues early on and missed quite a bit of playing time, I'm going to go ahead and ignore that initially here and just crunch the numbers.

Currently, Steph's numbers are as follows:

Points Assists Steals 3PM
12,804 3,830 1,005 1,865

That's all after 8 seasons. Stockton had the good fortune to be able to play in the league for 19 seasons. So I took each of Steph's numbers, divided them by 8 seasons for the average, and then multiplied that average by 11 to get the remaining career numbers, and added them to his 8-season total for the following numbers:

Points Assists Steals 3PM
30,409 9,096 2,387 4,429

I understand this is a bit of a stretch, considering he will most likely slow down a bit towards the end of his career, and may not even last as long as Stockton did, but it is interesting to me to see what kind of a tear he is on.

tl;dr

If Steph was able to continue his career averages for up to 19 years, he would finish with 30,409 PTS (Probably 8th All-Time behind Dirk and LeBron), 9,096 AST (7th All-Time), 2,387 STL (5th All-Time), and 4,429 3PM (1st All-Time)
