#John Stockton and Karl Malone
There are thousands of people who enjoy playing the game of basketball. Although there
are only a handful who play this game professionally. All of these players want to play
for a championship team, such as the Chicago Bulls of the 1990's. John Stockton and Karl
Malone are different in terms of their position and their roll, but they are similar
because of their unique knowledge of the sport.
First off their positions are totally different, because John Stockton play a point guard
position and Karl Malone play power forward. Their positions are a direct result of their
size and talents. John Stockton is only 6'1 and 185 lbs whereas Karl Malone is 6'10 and
240 lbs, which makes it obvious that Karl Malone is much bigger and stronger. Their
skills also dictate which position they play. Since Karl Malone is bigger he is naturally
better at rebounding and dunking, but his dribbling skills are not as strong because he
does not have to do much dribbling. John Stockton on the other hand is and excellent
dribbler and an even better passer.
Another difference is their role on their team. John Stockton is responsible for
dribbling up the court, passing the ball and scoring. Karl Malone is responsible for
scoring, rebounding and shutting down the opposition on the defensive side. Since John
Stockton dribbles the ball up the court he controls the tempo of the game, whether he
want to go fast or just slow everything down. Malone wants to make the big play to pump
up the team, give them life or just put the final nail in the coffin. Both of these
players are leader of the team and are the go-to-guys on the Utah Jazz. 
Even though there are some differences between the two players, there are also some 
Similarities. These two extraordinary basketball players are both all stars, and have
been for many years. They have been playing on the same team with each other, for over
ten years. They are captains and leader, their team mates look to them for help. They are
extremely experienced, they know each other in and out, which is one reason why their
team is so successful. After playing on the same team for over ten years, they know what
each other is going to do. This is a very unique thing, because players find that money
is more important. 
John Stockton and Karl Malone are two great players in the N.B.A., they demonstrate
strong commitment, leadership and are assets to their team and the league itself. They
are different in some ways and are similar in others. Although their differences are
complementary which make them strong, and their similarities make them stronger. This is
