I just read in the paper that Jazz Coach Jerry Sloan was voted into the Hall of Fame. What a great thing to have happen to one of the greatest coaches of all time. BUT - even better than that is some of the others of the Class of 2009 that will go into the hall with him.
I am sure this is not the complete list but it just goes to show you how great this class really is. The ones listed in the paper today are:
Jerry Sloan;
John Stockton;
Michael Jordan;
David Robinson; and
Vivian Stringer.
Even if this is the total listing of those that made it into the Hall it is still one of the greatest lists of all time. Karl Malone becomes eligible for the Hall next year and he'll join John and Jerry on the first vote.
Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippen - John Stockton and Karl Malone will be on every list of the greatest pairs in sports for many many many years to come. One of my greatest dissapointments was the night Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippen knocked the Jaszz out of the Championship. But it was a game well played by both teams and the team with the ball at the end won - just as predicted.
CONGRATULTIONS JOHN AND JERRY - YOU BOTH DESERVE EVERY HONOR YOU HAVE EVER BEEN GIVEN.
