Basketball Hall of Famer John Stockton, the NBA’s all-time assists leader, didn’t score points with fans for appearing in an anti-vaccine documentary.
In a clip from the series “Covid and the Vaccine: Truth, Lies and Misconceptions Revealed” making the rounds on social media Thursday, the former Utah Jazz guard brags about his supposed expertise on the coronavirus pandemic.
“This isn’t a virus cheating us of this opportunity,” he says of COVID-19. “It’s the guys making decisions saying, ‘No, no we’re too scared. We’re going to shut everything down. Sit in your house and be careful.’ My kids and my grandkids hearing these things and accepting them as truth when I know by my significant amount of research that it isn’t, it’s very frustrating.”
CBS affiliate KREM reported that Stockton, 59, also mentioned Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry in a quote that appears on the trailer’s website: “One of the things that sticks in my head is losing someone like Steph Curry to basketball would be a crime. I just think what a disappointment to this world it would be if that guy didn’t become who he is. So I wonder who we are missing out on right now.” The comment about Curry is presented without context on the site, but Stockton may have been addressing shutdowns limiting sports activities.
The trailer, posted in January, is set to dramatic music and features a parade of fear-mongering sources casting doubt on COVID-19 vaccines. One even asserts that the pandemic was “made up.”
Stockton’s appearance earned jeers and jokes on Twitter:

There’s a great story about the Anthrax vaccine at the Army Times.
“He did his own research” and didn’t listen to da gummit like he shoulda. Da gummit know.
His Body, His Choice.
Twittsewer - you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
“Twittsewer - you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”
You’re incorrect.
We have them here constantly pushing these toxins and trying to convince people to inject themselves with this bs.
Evil, vile, and villainy right here on FR.
Stockton doesn’t give a shit about what idiots think when he can crush them with his wallet.
100% truth.
They masquerade as free-thinking and freedom loving, but they’re not. You can tell with the vindictive and conniving attitude in their responses.
It’ll be interesting to see the death toll this fall vaccinated vs. natural defense.
The press will lie about it either way.
If that were the case, Deep State and Big Tech wouldn’t feel the need to censor it.
This HuffPo “author” writes as if “Twitter” is a singular cultural authority. LOL
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
John Stockton, from my hometown of Spokane, WA. Also played for Gonzaga. Nice to hear him say this.
The crowd is like that of The View. Bunch of snowflake sheep willing to be led to slaughter. 90% of them will say...”it’s the science”. Or “google says...”
Saying “I don’t agree” is now prohibited.
So you think doing one’s own research search is going to put him in his grave?
Bullshit. We need more independent thinking and less groupthink.
Morons listening to well-paid experts like Fauci is what got us into the mess we are in.
I can’t get over how compliant Americans are here. They ran out like their hair was on fire to get this politicized, unapproved, experimental, toxin laden vaccine for a disease with a 99.9% survival rate.
Especially those tree hugging, Prius driving, Whole Foods devoted, ultra vegan, woke greenies could not wait their turn to pump PEG, DMG, colesterol, DSPC and tromethamine into their bodies. Geez, just go to the Love Canal with a straw and drink.
Stockton spent 20 years in brutal combat with men twice his size and never backed down. They call him The Pasty Gangsta. You think he’s worried about a few keyboard warriors in their basements?
