Sloan: A lot of people thought I was crazy. Maybe they were right. But I was a player who didn't have great ability to play the game--natural ability as far as being able to run and jump. My basic contribution to the game was to try to help other people...to do that I concentrated very hard on defense and rebounding...that's the way the coaches that I played for allowed me to play...I competed as hard as I could...after the game was over, I didn't want to look back and say "well, I coulda done better, I coulda tried harder." I thought it was my job to do that in the first place.
Sloan, he ROCKS, eh!?

Ya call this floppin, eh, Freek?: "He was the perfect teammate. When I played against him, I thought he was a really dirty player. When I played with him, I loved him. He would do anything to win a game. I once saw him take three charges against Bob Lanier. He never blinked. He played the second half of a playoff game with a broken foot." (Rick Adelman)
Not to say he was above a flop, now and again, I spect: "Some people may call him dirty, I think he took it to the edge. He would do whatever it took to win.(laughs) You know what I'm sayin'?If it took tuggin' ya, trippin' ya, pullin' ya." (Bob Lanier).
But still....:"Jerry is a warrior, an absolute warrior. I saddled him and rode him. He helped make me. He would never come out and warm up. He'd stay in the locker room and build up a hatred for the guy he was going to guard. It was a privilege to be around Jerry Sloan." (Dick Motta)
So, then, all in all, they aint really but one possible conclusion, I figure, like I done said, to wit:
Sloan, he ROCKS, eh!?

I forgot how good Griffith was, I know he's the only Jazz player to win rookie of the year but still easy to forget (especially since I only really remember *and just barely* his last couple of years).
was that Wes Matthews (Sr.) that made the pass?
