The 26-year-old American point guard will reinforce the outside game of the Challenge League team, diminished by the losses
CAB Estepona has starred in one of the most surprising news of this Friday in Malaga sports, and it is that it is not every day that the daughter of one of the most outstanding players in the history of American basketball is going to join a team from the province. Every good fan of the world of the canasta will have once found the name of John, surname Stockton, considered one of the best point guards of all time, a member of the mythical Dream Team of the 1992 and 1996 Games and whose professional career in the NBA spent entirely in the Utah Jazz, franchise with which he achieved the current NBA assists record (15,806).
From now on, his surname will begin to sound in the province. And it is that the saga continued with several of his children (he has 6), who followed (although to a lesser extent) a professional career as basketball players; Among them, Laura (26 years old and 1.76 in height), the new signing of the Estepona team, the maximum female exponent from Malaga to the military in the Challege League (the second category).
This was announced this Friday by the entity. The daughter of the mythical player whose name shines in the Hall of Fame will accompany the Malaga base Gema García in the direction of the team’s game. An outside game that had been notably diminished after the departure of Laura Fernández to the La Salle Melilla team and the rupture of Eva Cases’ ligament a little less than a month ago, as well as the departure of the American Moorer at Christmas.
This is the first time in the Spanish league for Stockton, who comes from the Puerto Rican Montañeras de Morovis, where he averaged great figures of 16.2 points, 5 rebounds and 4.1 assists. Of course, he has previously crossed the pond for the military in the German league with Herner TC, after overcoming a knee injury. The German team was his first professional destination after concluding his period in the NCAA, as the third best historical past of this entity.
