Former Jazz beat writer Lee Benson devotes his column to John Stockton, and has some interesting stories to tell.

"And a belated happy 40th to John Stockton. A shy, retiring type who may never retire.
   
Like anyone who's turned 40, especially anyone who's turned 40 and is still playing point guard in the NBA, Stockton would no doubt prefer dispensing with any attention concerning his age. But that's the price you pay when every other point guard your age hasn't played since shorts were actually short.
     
Not only aren't you supposed to be playing point guard at 40, you're not supposed to look exactly like you did when you got started."
