תגיות: NBA, ג'רי סלואן
לילה לא פשוט נרשם אתמול (בין שישי לשבת) ב-NBA. ג'רי סלואן, מאמנה האגדי של יוטה ג'אז, הלך לעולמו בגיל 78 בעקבות מחלת פרקינסון ממנה סבל בשנים האחרונות, והתגובות לא איחרו להגיע עם לא מעט הספדים מרגשים מצד האנשים שהכירו אותו, בין אם על הפרקט כשחקן, כמאמן, או מחוץ לפרקט כאדם. סלואן זכור בתור מי שהוביל את יוטה לשני גמרי NBA במהלך שנות התשעים.
אגדת העבר של שיקגו, סקוטי פיפן: "אהבתי הכל על ג'רי סלואן, מהצורה בה שיחק ועד הדרך בה אימן. הוא היה מתחרה עקשן שייצג את הבולס של שנות ה-70 בצורה טובה מאד. הוא הפך להיות אחד המאמנים האהובים עליי וזה היה כבוד גדול ללמוד ממנו".
מאמן סן אנטוניו, גרג פופוביץ': "זהו יום עצוב לכל מי שהכיר את ג'רי סלואן. לא רק על פרקט הכדורסל, אבל יותר חשוב, כאדם. הוא היה אמיתי וישר, וזה דבר נדיר. הוא היה מנטור עבורי, בעל חוש הומור ועם לב ענק".
נשיא מיאמי היט, פט ריילי: "זו הייתה זכות לשחק מול קבוצה שג'רי סלואן אימן. תמיד ידעתי שמדובר במבחן רציני".
ההספדים והציוצים לזכרו לפניכם:

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— Scottie Pippen (@ScottiePippen) May 22, 2020

Pop on Sloan: “It’s a sad day for all of us who knew Jerry Sloan. Not only on the basketball court but, more importantly, as a human being. He was genuine and true. And that is rare.” https://t.co/BaNF9NVymE— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) May 22, 2020

Pat Riley statement on the passing of Jerry Sloan“It was a privilege to play against a Jerry Sloan coached team, I always knew that we would be severely tested. His overall philosophy on both sides of the ball was fundamentally solid and always one step ahead of the game." pic.twitter.com/Xv42JvBmO4— Miami HEAT (@MiamiHEAT) May 22, 2020

Jerry Sloan is a legend. He was tough and always pushed his players to play tough as well. He put Utah on the map. May he RIP. #NBA— Eric Gordon (@TheofficialEG10) May 22, 2020
