Ο “θρύλος” του ΝΒΑ Jerry Sloan άφησε την τελευταία του πνοή χθες (22/05) σε ηλικία 77 ετών και ολόκληρος ο κόσμος του πρωταθλήματος εξέφρασε τη βαθύτατη θλίψη του.
Παίκτες παλιοί αλλά και τωρινοί των Utah Jazz και όχι μόνο φυσικά, έσπευσαν να στείλουν τα θερμά τους συλλυπητήρια για τον χαμό ενός ανθρώπου που άφησε εποχή στο “μαγικό” κόσμο του ΝΒΑ.

I didn’t get to spend a lot of time playing for Coach Sloan, but coming in as a rookie he had a major impact on my transition to the @NBA. I’m grateful for that. Prayers to his family, friends and loved ones. May he Rest In Peace. pic.twitter.com/DYJ4F4CvRw

I loved everything about Jerry Sloan, from the way he played to the way he coached. He was a tenacious competitor who represented the Bulls of the 70s so well. Jerry became one of my favorite coaches when he was on the 1996 Dream Team staff and it was an honor to learn from him. pic.twitter.com/pEhbmiFbzp
