Stockton Statue Unveiled

First, Larry Miller held a part in Stockton's honor, then they retired his number 12 jersy, and now he's back in town for the unveiling of his statue.

Stockton had his entire family in town, along with Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, assistant coach Phil Johnson, some former teammates, and Jazz owner Larry Miller.

With the help of Stockton's six kids, they cut the ropes and the statue was unveiled for all to see.
