Who’s here after he passed away great coach legendary
RIP Coach Sloan.
Me
I remember watching this a few years back and had to listen again. Jerry was one of the coaches I respected the most. He’s tough yet genuine and humble guy, a great man. RIP
I am. Tough time for us Jazz fans.
He was a badass.
RIP Jerry not only a great man but a great coach as well
Deron Williams did Jerry Sloan dirty. He single handedly retired Sloan, I'm not proud that he played for my Nets, we've had great PGs such as Cassell, Marbury, Kidd, Harris, Kyrie, and he's one guy I don't respect.
Zenigundam look at his recent post on insta dude
A great man. Ol school Legend..RIP
Zenigundam... I felt the same way about Deron. Deron got traded two weeks later, thankfully.
I agree... He is the most unlikable person in NBA I ever seen.
Because of him Jerry Sloan has to retire early. Guess Jerry was very affected by it n loss interest in coaching. Thus his body went downhill ever since.
Notice how he mentioned everyone including the trainers, support staff. A very humble and classy man. That tells you all you need to know about the person, Jerry Sloan.
He was a heck of a player too. Along with Magic and the brilliant Oscar Robertson, the 3 best rebounding guards of all time. He was as good a defensive guard as there was in his time. And a decent, competent offensive player as well. A very important part of a strong Bulls team late 60s, early 70s.
@@Amick44 he was fantastic. I never liked the Bulls but JS is one of my favorite players ❤️ 🏀
He downplayed his record with the Jazz, giving Malone and Stockton most of the credit. When he also could have said that had they had a little more help and depth, they could've won it All. But of course he didn't.
Sloan was constantly looked over for NBA Coach of the Year. Great to see him be recognized here.
RIP Coach Jerry Sloan. One of the greatest coaches of all time. Coach Gregg Popovich always said that he based on how he run his San Antonio Spurs team on the Utah Jazz. Especially, that both are in a small market..
He always needs to be a stone-written top 5 all time coach as he is, RIP another all-timer.
Johnny Stockton, Karl, Eaton, coached by Jerry Sloan? That's a battleship.
Agree. Can't wait to see Pop finally making to long-overdue induction and his stories and acknowledgment.
RIP Coach Jerry Sloan.
Jerry was the first coach to win 1000 games with one organization. RIP, Coach.
One of the best and most humble hall of fame speeches I have ever heard...great man Jerry
It is a low down dirty shame that this man never got Coach Of The Year in all the years he consistently won, especially his longevity coaching only ONE team. This was sweet vindication for him.
RIP Coach a fan here from the Philippines! 😢
yea really a shame, the COY award usually goes to a coach who turns a team around. unfortunately for Sloan, he was always so good that most of his teams were always good.
He should have won it for the 2003-2004 season when the jazz missed the playoff by one game and having a winning record with a starting 5 of Carlos Arroyo, Gordon Giricek, Matt Harpring, Andrie Kirilenko and Greg Ostertag.
I live 30 minutes away from McLeansboro, Jerry's hometown. Been down there many times. He represented his community and southern Illinois very well. Thank you Jerry for your contributions to the basketball world. RIP Coach!
Rest easy Coach. You helped inspire me in ways that no one will ever realize. Theres a special place in my heart for you, Stockton and Malone
So accomplished and yet so humble. The fire burned deep in his heart and Jerry always got his hands dirty. Yet through all his competitive fight, Jerry never saw himself as better than anyone. He's just a genuine dude, but don't get in his face. Look out!
Hardest working man in basketball. Rick Barry, Jerry West didn’t like when they saw this man on the court. Never won a championship, won the hearts of fans from Chicago.
Sloan, Artis Gilmore and Bob Love, Bulls material that will always be special, especially put together with the other 70s all timers.
He had to endure a lot of tough losses to Phil Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant. He did a lot more with a small market team than any other coach could've done.
It always seemed to me that Sloan, Stockton and Hornacek are relatives. They look so similar.
MyYTwatcher And they all come from smaller communities, instead of large urban districts. I know Jeff Hornacek is of Czech descent, Stockton half Irish & half Swiss German. Is Jerry Sloan of Scottish origin?
All white people look the same
A great coach, and a great man.
played for the team he lost both times in the Finals as a coach. The Chicago Bulls and got his number 4 retired by them and the first to be retired by the franchise.
Much respect to coach Sloan! One of the best! RIP coach🙏🏻😢
Surprised and glad that Coach chose Chuck to induct him.
jerry sloan never got the credit he deserved because he wasnt as flashy as the other coaches...
RIP Coach Sloan
One of the most underrated and greatest of all time
Isn't it weird that the very team he played for and had his jersey retired for, would also be the team he would lose to in the Finals?
you can only be introduced into the hall of fame by a member of the hall of fame. stockton was inducted the same year, and malone was inducted the year after, so they wouldn't have been allowed to do it.
Look at 'em hands.The guy has huge hands
A reserved and humble person, but a person with a lot of heart and passion in everything he does.
Utah was lucky to have a guy like Sloan for so many years. He helped bring us so many great memories and we were fortunate to have such a great example. It was an honor to grow up seeing what hard work and toughness can bring. We miss you Jerry, thank you for everything you brought to our state.
R.I.P. legend, a great man, competitor, and coach.
Easily one of the greatest coaches ever in the NBA. RIP Coach Sloan!
The Jazz were never mediocre during his time as the bench tactician.
Humble soft-spoken man. Great speech, so much wisdom in it.
sign of a great coach, didn't make special mention to Stockton and Malone. Whole team is equal.
When growing up I watched in action with the Bulls, then later when he was their coach, saw them on WGN. Much better as coach seconds time around. Tough as nails, an icon. RIP #4, Hall of Fame Coach Jerry Sloan.
How good has Jerry Sloan been throughout his career? One of the best, in my opinion.
Coach and player.
always liked Mr.Sloan as a player and a coach.He and the late Stormin Norman made a great backcourt
RIP Jerry Sloan ☹️ one of greatest NBA coach
Unbelievable man, great speach, great person.
many people forget that he was a very good player too
i just looked up some stats because of this old ass comment lol ur absolutely right! defense like a mofo too rip coach
I certainly remember. Best defensive big guard in the game, along with Boston's Don Chaney. Great rebounding guard, who could also score.
Warriors fan here... Jerry Sloan was a class act and will definitely be missed...
This was long overdue for Coach Sloan!
What a great and humble man
RIP Mr. Jerry 💐🏀
Sloan would have multiple rings had the Jazz signed Rony Seikaly, Ostertag was the glaring weakness that kept them from taking that next step...
seems a right decent man, God bless him
Humility& toughness r the 2most underrated things in life. Coach Sloan had both in spades. His teams plowed through competition w/his toughness&grit. A HUGE reason I take pride in my humility&toughness is because of Coach Sloan. He was 1of my role models growning up in the 80s&90s. Coach Sloan will is loved&missed by all of us.
The original bull...rest in peace 😭
PLEASE COME TO LA JERRY. WE NEED YOUR PICK N ROLL HERE AND STOP THE INCOMPETENCE THAT IS MIKE BROWN.
I regret my childhood, i took John and Karl and Jerry for granted when i was young, i grew up and all i ever knew was them and i thought they would play for forever. I miss my 90s Jazz!! RIP Jerry!!!
RIP Coach Jerry Sloan.
So sad to hear that he is sick.
The moment I will never forget is Game 4 of the 1997 Finals when Larry Miller arrived to the arena during the final minutes on a Sunday, something he normally never would have done due to his religion. Once the NBC camera and Jim Grey caught up with him in the back lot of the arena, and televised his interview and reactions live, John Stockton went on his heroic surge to steal the game from the Bulls, I believe they were down 5 when Larry Miller was pulling up the arena and they ended up winning by 5. When Bryon Russell slammed down the dunk at the last second I have never seen an NBA crowd become crazier in NBA history. It was unforgettable when John Stockton, Karl Malone and Jerry Sloan all ran out to the lot to hug and embrace with Larry Miller. It was the happiest I ever saw any of those four men. I'll never forget it, one of the greatest moments in NBA history that never gets rebroadcast - and this is coming from someone who was a major Bulls fanatic at the time. Jerry Sloan deserved to enjoy the same success and accolades that Phil Jackson and Pat Riley achieved.
Amen. But what a great legacy and an example of what hard work can bring.
RIP Jerry Sloan a coaching legend
Rip coach. Thank you for what you brought to the game
I'm from Evansville, having lived here my entire life. Retired now. I was at the NCAA final when Evansville capped off a 29-0 season. Jerry Sloan was on that team and was voted most valuable. That's Jerry's legacy, "Most Valuable".
Great honor for a man who means so much not just to the Utah Jazz and their organization but to the NBA as well. One of the best coaches to NEVER win an nba championship ring
One of the best period. He's a better coach than many who have won a ring.
@@markbrinton6790 you nailed it. Just as Elgin Baylor, Pete Maravich, Dave Bing, Karl Malone and Charles Barkley are better than many Joe Blow's who have rings.
God Bless Brother!! Be well! From NYC WE LOVE YOU!!
JERRY SLOAN ONE OF THE GREATS. RIP! HE WILL BE MISSED.
Wish Barkley came to Utah instead of Houston. Who knows
I've been withing this guy since Darren Williams I know it wasn't the prime of Utah but it was the prime of my childhood and this man is a great man
Among the top five best coaches of all time (Red Aubeirch , Phil Jackson ,Pat Riley , Jerry Sloan , John Kundla) ! It is enormously sad to realize that he suffered through debilitating illness for more than a year , before passing away today , Friday 22ND , 2020 ! His team was cheated in the 1998 NBA finals , when Michael Jordan clearly pushed off Russell, but no foul was called , and that changed the flow of the game ! Anyway , this 2020 is an all-around sad year , as I didn’t have a chance to pray in a mosque in Ramadan , as all the establishment were closed , in order to slow down the spread of the Yuhan China ‘ s virus !
Rest In Paradise Coach Sloan!!!
Coach hale was my old probation officer in saline County in early 90s
R.I.P coach you will not be forgotten 🗻🎶
To me: most humble-greatest HOF speech of all time…
Very touching especially when he mentions Norm Van Lier.
My favorite player of all time.More than Jordan. I always wore No. 4.
He’s a hard working loyal player and coach. He was great at both of those phases in his life and retired in 2011 as a well respected over all man. RIP Jerry Sloan!
I wish more realized what a good player he was. He and Oscar were the top rebounding guards of their era. He sometimes led the Bulls in boards for the season. A 6'5-6'6 off guard. Probably also the top defensive guard at the spot. He and Don Chaney of Boston. And he got u anout 15, 16 ppg as well.
Tough, pretty well rounded and a winner.
RIP
RIP
R.I.P Coach

😔 RIP Legend
I learned to appreciate toughness and teamwork through your teams in the 90s. They might not be the most talented or flashy but they showed up and competed hard every game. I hope I can carry on such energy and mentality in what i do for the rest of my days. Thank you and rest in peace Coach Sloan.
Rip
Rest in peace, coach. I had to come back here to watch this speech again now. Thank you for everything! You do not know this but you have most certainly influenced my life and my way of thinking so much!
Hardest working player I ever saw. Never was a Bulls fan but JS is indeed of my favorite players. ❤️ 🏀
