    Stockton jazzed about future in Utah




    Associated Press

    SALT LAKE CITY -- NBA career steals and assists leader John
    Stockton, under contract for one more year with the Utah Jazz, doesn't
    plan to retire after this season.

    "Anything can happen, but it is definitely not my intention" to
    retire after the 2000-01 season, he said Tuesday as he
    opened his 17th season at training camp in Boise, Idaho.

    Stockton, 38, is entering the final year of a two-year, $22
    million contract. He holds NBA records with 13,790 assists
    and 2,844 steals. He also has won two Olympic gold medals.

    Despite reaching the NBA Finals twice, Stockton hasn't won a title and it
    remains his ultimate goal. Those near him say, however, that Stockton
    just loves to play.

    "This is the ultimate competition there is," said teammate Karl Malone.
    "And Stock, he's a guy who loves the competition."

    When Stockton decides to retire, there probably won't be a news
    conference. There certainly won't be a farewell tour. Instead, he'll wake
    up one morning and decide he's ready to stop.

    Behind Moochie, you mean. Sure, I'd go for that. Could always use a good scrub for practices.

    Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures.

    Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and pimp-slap the mother****** upside the head!
