The Utah Jazz have released a video honoring coaching legend Jerry Sloan after he passed away due to complications of Parkinson disease and Lewy body dementia. The four minute video chronicled Sloan’s life from rural Southern Illinois to becoming an NBA All-Star in Chicago, and then transforming into a coaching legend in Utah.
The clip will give many sports fans goosebumps. It’s powerful to see all of the great things Sloan accomplished. The four-time All-Defensive First Team player was the Bulls first franchise player. He played for their team for 10 seasons. Chicago retired the no. 4 in his honor.
Sloan coached Utah for 23 seasons and led them to 18 playoff appearances. The Hall of Fame coach finished with over 1,200 wins, which is the fourth-most in NBA history. This video was an emotional video tribute to one of the greatest coaches ever, as it brings back some great memories for fans.
