Hall of Famer John Stockton calls out NBA. Says the league is ‘soft’

Ouch!

NBA legend and former Jazz guard John Stockton was a guest on NBA Radio on Sirius XM and pretty much called out the current state of the league as being soft.

Stockton points out the fact the league doesn’t let NBA players play tough defense, that almost every touch is an automatic whistle, and compares the days when he laced up his sneakers and had to face tough defenders like Derek Harper.

Listen to what Stockton had to say including how the current “soft” league offends the Hall of Famer (h/t Project Spurs).

Stockton is right. The league back in his time was pretty much no blood, no foul.

Case in point… this!

In today’s game this would be an ejection. Back then, Rodman just got a foul.

Man up NBA!
