Point guards with Diva attitudes.  Now that just sounds wonderful.  I'll take the dirty PG every time over the diva.  The whole NBA was dirty back in those days anyway.

It didn't really occur to me to consider Payton's ceiling when comparing him to Stockton as a PG.  Maybe if I had considered how hypothetically good  he could have been had he played to his ceiling-potential, then I would think differently on who is clearly better.  Next time I'll consider ceiling more carefully. (/sarcasm off)

Payton may have played better than Stockton head to head in some 7 game series in a certain year, that has next to zero impact on who I think is the better PG over their careers.  Although almost every game I check throughout their careers head to head, Stockton had more assists in the game then Payton, sometimes significantly more assists.  Like 5+ more.  That's being part of the reason for 10+ more points being scored per game and Payton did have Kemp and Detlef and some other good shooters on his team, wonder why he sucked so bad at getting assists being a PG?  (Ok, he wasn't horrible at getting assists, but he wasn't an above average assist maker either.)
