Former NBA guard Jason Williams believes he can take on Utah Jazz legend John Stockton. The former player talked about the potential of him taking care of Stockton on Tuesday's episode of "Hoopin' N Hollerin." Together with his co-hosts, Patrick Beverley and Adam "Rone" Ferrone, he expressed his confidence.It's been a while since Williams played in the league. However, he still has the mentality that he can take over a game and outplay anyone in his way. Beverley provided entertainment during the podcast by discussing the top three non-European white players.The first player that was mentioned in the list was former Boston Celtics star Larry Bird. The star forward grew up in Indiana and became one of the best players across the association. Then, Beverley acknowledged his co-host and said that he could be in the top five.But Williams didn't think he should be part of the top 5 of the list. This led Pat Bev to say that the former Sacramento Kings guard was a better player than Stockton. The 49-year-old agreed with the take and doubled down on it by saying that he would win a game over the Jazz legend."I'll bust John Stockton's a**," Williams said.Beverley explained that the former NBA star was in a better system than Williams, which helped him have a Hall of Fame career. But the former guard said that he didn't mean to disrespect Stockton for his take. But for Pat Bev, he said that he'll choose his co-host over the 10-time All-Star.What does the head-to-head battle between NBA stars Jason Williams and John Stockton look like?The NBA legend spent most of his career playing in the 1990s. Drafted in the same year as Michael Jordan in 1984, Stockton gradually developed into one of the best facilitators in the league. In the late 1980s, the Jazz guard started to gain notoriety for his passing and defensive skills.Throughout the 1990s, he was a consistent All-Star and even made the Dream Team with his teammate Karl Malone in 1992. By the time Williams arrived in the league in 1998, Stockton was already an experienced and well-respected player.Although Williams only caught the tail-end of Stockton's career, they still had a chance to play against each other 21 times. But in all of their head-to-head battles, the Hall of Fame guard had the slight advantage. According to Land of Basketball, Utah's star guard had an 11-10 record over the flashy point guard, including a 3-2 record in the playoffs.Stockton also performed better on the floor, averaging 12.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists. Williams, meanwhile, put up 10.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists. They only battled for a while in the NBA, but both players put on a show every time they faced each other.
