"It's actually a story that has been recounted by Jerry Sloan in recent years, but this week Chris Webber offered his recollection of an encounter he had with the Utah Jazz head coach during the 1999 NBA Playoffs. It was in the opening moments of Game 2 that Sloan and Webber almost went head to head. Webber remembered it this way on the Petros and Money Radio Show when asked how angry Sloan can get on the sidelines:
"Man, one time I set a pick on (John) Stockton and I knocked Stockton to the ground and I gave him a shoulder. And I'm really cool with Stockton but I was trying to show the rest of the team like I'm going to get the technical, you guys. I'll be the bad guy, come on. Well, Stockton kind of laughed. I laughed. I looked at the bench and Sloan looked at me.
I said, 'You want some?' He was like, 'Damn right I want some.'
He started walking toward me. So, you know, it's a good thing there was a ref there because, hey, he's one of the toughest guys in the league. I don't want to fight that guy. So, I'll tell you, when your team is led by one of the toughest guys in the league, your team is going to be tough."

"...he's one of the toughest guys in the league. I don't want to fight that guy." Purty tuff with Stockton, but with Sloan, no so much, eh, Chrissy-coward?
