Karl Malone and John Stockton have played 976 regular-season games as teammates, the most by any pair of players in NBA history. Utah's two stars are entering their 13th season together, which ties them with two other duos for the league record in that department. But unlike those other twosomes, Malone and Stockton have yet to win a championship.
