    Yep. NBA players respect Melo. In other news, water is wet.

    He left in December due to a difference with Orion Bailey. It's too bad as I enjoyed his posts.

    Back when CP3 was with the Hornets it was widely known that scorekeepers would credit him with assists even when they didn't fit the definition of an assist.

    Go back even further and it was a running joke that the home stats people in SLC would give Stockton assists in the layup line. He’d already have 4 or 5 before tip.

    Ok then

    * in 87-88 when he averaged 13.8, he averaged 14.5 at home and 13.0 on the road

    * in 88-89 he averaged 14.0 at home and 13.3 on the road

    * in 89-90 it was 15.4 at home and 13.6 on the road

    * in 90-91 it was 15.3 at home and 13.1 on the road

    * in 91-92 it was 14.2 at home and 13.3 on the road

    * in 92-93 it was 12.2 at home and 11.9 on the road

    that's as far as I want to dig thru numbers for Stockton

    couple more:

    * in 87-88 the Jazz scored 8 more points at home than on the road; they shot 51% at home and 47% on the road

    * in 89-90 they scored over 7 points more at home

    * in 90-91 they scored over 10 more points at home than on the road

    if somebody wants to sift thru more numbers go ahead. But this matches my memory. Those Stockton/Malone teams were great at home, much better than they were on the road. So naturally, Stockton would have more assists at home where his teammates played well and shot better. Simple NBA logic.

    And looking at those home/road assist numbers for Stockton, I'm not seeing a differential large enough to believe it was little more than a function of teams playing better, and scoring more at home. I think the notion that Stockton had his assist numbers padded by home scorekeepers is mostly urban legend. Sure, a home scorekeeper might give his guy credit when it doubt, but that was happening for every NBA PG....and still is. Stockton may have received 25-40 'bonus' assists a year, but he had 5 straight season with well over 11oo assists and 2 more with over a thousand. If there was statistical bloat, it wasn't much IMO

    Boston Score keepers did it with Rondo as well. So many catch the ball make a dribble and a move then shoot and he would get an assist.

    Speaking of assists, this is fun to watch again:
