John Stockton, member of the Utah Jazz Hall of Fame and the NBA age 59, can no longer attend his varsity basketball games, Gonzaga.

“Basically, it came down to me being asked to wear a mask at games and being a public figure, someone a little more visible, I stood out from the crowd a little bit,” Stockton told The Spokesman-Review. “And so they got complaints and they felt like they were going to have to ask me to wear a mask or they were going to suspend me.
