Michael Stockton might be best known as the son of Hall of Fame point guard John Stockton. But Michael has carved out a productive career in his own right. After a standout career at Westminster College, Stockton went abroad to play professionally in Germany. The 6-foot-1 point guard currently is playing for the Thunder’s summer league team this week in Orlando, Fla.

Q: What was it like growing up and stepping on a basketball court as a point guard named Stockton?

A: There was never any shortage of outside expectations. You’d always hear, ‘You’re not as good as your dad’ or whatever. But there really wasn’t much to it. It was just going to play basketball.

When were you able to ignore those expectations and feel comfortable with who you are as a player?
