Video: John Stockton and the lost Diet Pepsi audition
Video: John Stockton and the lost Diet Pepsi audition
I vaguely remember Jerry Lewis, Tiny Tim and an opera singing Bo Jackson auditioning to become Diet Pepsi's 1991 spokesperson, but the NBA's all-time leader in assists, John Stockton, too? Which wily robot disguised as a household appliance erased that from my memory? Was it the microwave?

    I am from Utah, so this vid is just awesome to me. Stockton gets ZERO respect.

    How many people would put him in their all time top 20? I know I would have him on the bench for my all time team. When players were being selfish, or not playing like a team, I would put him on the court and tell him to do what he does.

    OK, now I have taken this too far. Not only have I just made up a fantasy team, but I have made bench players, and role players. :-)
