28 of 31 people found the following review helpful. Humble and interesting without a hint of self-aggrandizement.By Rob HenneferJohn's autobiography was as simple and humble as he always seemed to be. He goes into great detail explaining his take on the limelight, which is only one of many topics that shed more light on his life and career than probably any other source ever has. One particular topic, his love of his family, struck special chords for me personally.You're not going to get a raw history of the game of according to John. You're not going to get too many juicy details of players at the time. You're not going to get a self-serving account of his accolades. On the contrary, you will get to see players as John saw them: friends, people, and competitors with real lives and feelings. You will rarely hear of an accolade; instead, you will get an account of all the work he put in.If you want the story of a flashy athlete, complete with scandal, money, and sex, this is not the auto-biography for you.If you want to hear about the values of hard work, friendship, and family this is for you.If you just want more insight on the best pure guard to ever play basketball, this is definitely for you.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Not only a top quality athlete, but also a top quality personBy Grandma ZizzyMy husband just thoroughly enjoyed this book... though I've never been a sports-inclined person myself, he's the complete opposite, and over the course of our marriage, there are certain athletes of whom he's spoken extra enthusiastically about - Mr. Stockton is one of those people. Each year at Christmas, I'll purchase a few sports-related books (usually biographies or autobiographies), trying to recall people he's mentioned, and when I saw this book I knew it'd be a winner. My husband had never been a "book person", having struggled in school, so it was a surprise to him (and a delight for me) to realize how much he enjoyed reading when the subject interested him! Each night he'd share with me an observation or two from the book, and though I didn't read it myself (the 5 stars are from him), I can say that Mr. Stockton is every bit the quality individual I'd always heard my husband describing him as. He tells me this book is definitely on his "re-read" list.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This transcends basketball; it's a journey through a life exceedingly well lived.By J. BraunThis moving book was much more than I thought it would be. A shining example of how we all may aim high, own up to our limitations and occasional defeats, and keep pushing forward while humbly welcoming the gift of wisdom, of love, and assistance from the various people with whom our lives intersect.People of virtually any age may look upon these pages and feel as I did, that Mr. Stockton has given us a tremendous gift in his reminiscences and musings, vignettes that, in total, intrigue, inspire, while serving as a blueprint for how to be an honorable human being in the age of distraction.And we are shown how he hasn't done that alone.

Foreword by A fast, gritty, durable player who could read a basketball floor as well as anyone who ever played the game, John Stockton left the NBA after nineteen seasons with the , holding a massive record, including the career mark (15,806). He also twice led the league in steals with a career total of 3,265 and retired as the NBA s all-time leader. And during Stockton s career, the Jazz never missed the playoffs. Coach said, Nobody thought that he was going to be this good. Nobody. But the thing was, nobody measured his heart. Johns autobiography, Assisted, pulls back the curtain on his very personal life to show fans a thoughtful recounting of the people, places, and events that have connected with John along his path of extraordinary success. This book clearly illustrates the importance of his family, his faith, and his unparalleled competitive spirit.

An unlikely icon whose small-town values led him to take on NBA stardom on his terms. John Blanchette, columnist, The Spokesman- The intensely private basketball star gives readers a truly unique look at his career and his relationships with those who helped him along the way. Steve Luhm, columnist, Salt Lake Tribune If you thought you knew the Hall of Fame basketball player, the answer is yes and no. --Brad Rock, columnist, Deseret NewsAbout the AuthorJohn Stockton became a member of the NBA Hall of Fame in 2009. He and his wife live in Spokane, Washington.
