Yall kids do not understand how COLD this dude was!! It just sucks because of injury that slowed him down...but boy, HE WAS A DAWG!! THAT CROSS OVA WAS 🔥🔥
I actually met Deron a couple weeks ago. I work at a mall in Salt Lake City and he came in and bought some things. I asked him jokingly if he played for the Jazz and he goes “that was a long, long time ago man”
D will was a beast but the only issues he had he was being lightskin to early in his career it wasn't they time yet again..😂😂😂😂 Real talk d will was a real sniper!!!
What's fascinating is CP3 is still going out on his game and add an elite level. Even though he got bounced out of the playoffs this year he still playing like an All-Star every year even at the old age
I was on Sloans side when this happened. I felt bad because he was such a great coach that got tainted by this incident. Then D will just had one good year after he left. Was a shame
@@HEYSERG Shii u right, He up there too his shii been crisp for the longest, even til this Day he be doin’ the broadcasts now too still tapered up right lol
Good recognition by D Will. One thing to mention…..don’t ever sleep on someone like coach Sloans toughness. They act like Stack would have mopped the floor with Sloan but these old dogs were raised in a completely different time and they’re tough as shit…..and they have ZERO quit.
As a Jazz fan, losing coach Sloan and D-will was devastating. Both are cut from the same cloth, but both are stubborn. I’m glad they got together and buried the hatchet. RIP COACH and D-will is still my guy!
I loved D Will, I spent all my money as a college kid to get tickets for the game they won in the 2007 conference finals. What he did to Coach Sloan was a knife in the back. Props for maturing and growing, I can be a fan again.
I think a lot of the issue might have been Jerry Sloan showing signs of early onset alzheimer's. According to people he was doing things Andis behavior was not like Jerry usually acts. If you every been around anyone with early onset alzheimer's you know how hard they are to get along with and this was Jerry Sloan we are talking about.
Arenas was not underrated. He brought a lot of bad traits to the team he was on that had nothing to do with basketball. He could score, but he wasn't a great defender who could lead a defense and share on offense. He was self-entitled and stupid and to this day is still proud of it. He was a huge bust. Carmelo, Harden, same. They make their teams worse because no one is quantifying their turnovers, lack of defense, lack of rebounds, lazy screens, and all the other negative plays besides bricks that help a team lose. Arrogance and ego often hide in negative statistics that no one is calculating. People will drool over a 40 point game, but completely ignore the misses, poor D, rebounds never attempted, etc.
@@SkyTurnsPurplePhotography Saying Gil, Melo and Harden are busts is insane. Melo and Harden are first ballot hall of famers and arguably two of the top 5 best scorers ever. I agree Gil was a bit of a cancer as a person but on the court he provided an instant value offensively. He just needed a more defensive minded team around him. Similar to Allen Iverson when he went to the finals. He was the only big time scorer.
@@Plague_Doc22I'm not an Iverson fan, but I believe he took the game more seriously than Arenas. Allen occasionally let his emotions get the better of him. But I still believe he brought it every game and really cared about putting forth his best effort. I can't say the same for Arenas. Who didn't do much to dispel his image as a clown.
ESPN described DWill in pre-2005 Draft as "JKidd with a shooting touch." Another "what if" comes to mind: Chris Paul is available option. Anyhow, glad DWill manned up. His career somewhat went wayward after the Jazz traded him.
If you can play and do what you do as to contributing. Never apologize to anyone when it comes to your game and craft. If the person wants to meet you in the middle, than that can be mutual. But never apologize for what you know, you can bring and do. Its the coach's job to use you and find where you fit in the design of the team. So you can win games. If he cant or doesn't wish to, simply out of the effect to the emotions of his own based own your own personality. Than that his problem and self issue, not yours as a player.
@@christianrapper We different people. He shouldn't have apologized for anything. Sloan sounded like a dickhead and from old footage you can definitely see it by his actions.
@@s4mp_founder dude, he called himself a little S word. D-will isn’t just going to down himself if he didn’t think that he deserved it. Coaches can be jerks but d-will was nan enough to admit when he was wrong. If you are at fault and don’t admit it that doesn’t make you a man. It makes you delusional akin to someone like trump.
Og millennial floor general, prime dwill really cp3 in b-diddy body. Lotta nicknames. Anyway, lotta fun doing franchise mode with him and ak on those mid 2000s jazz teams
Utah Deron Williams was to me the best player from the 2005 draft... now that title belongs to CP3. But nevertheless, I always rooted for D.Will and the Jazz during those days.
Jerry Sloan didn’t believe in scouting reports and videotape because of his experience as a Bulls coach. Deron couldn’t relax and blamed it on Sloan’s old school tactics. I think it was little bit of both.
I thought, at the time, both sides were at issue. I thought Sloan's pick-and-roll was getting played out. And Williams, who didn't adapt to Sloan's system well, acted like a diva. Very classy for the Jazz ownership to get both together to squash the beef, before Sloan went out.
I was a season ticket holder during those years. Myself and many other Jazz supporters absolutely loved D-Will! When that incident happened, we wrote D-Will off right then and there! I will say now, im happy to see he admitted his faults. But im more happy to hear they met and hashed things out before coach Sloan passed. I haven't watched an NBA game in person or on TV since 2020! And I'll never watch another!! Until this year ironically, id never seen a league/organization so openly disrespect its fan base/customers and thought id never see anything like that again!!! Well, fast forward to this year and the rainbowWNBA doing EVERYTHING in its power to disrespect the folks who were willing to spend their hard earned money on them!! Will be interesting to see if they continue with the nonsense! But its also the same garbage nonsense these 2 multi multi millionaire hosts who still somehow find a way to tell us how "victimized" they are and espouse the same garbage espn, ltgbwnba and all the other woke idiots do! So i dont watch these idiots either, just this clip with D-will.
@@daneelderozan5239 I know injures happen big bruh but in Brooklyn it just look like he quit after the 1st or 2nd season . mentality wise . it just looked like he had no confidence to be Utah dwill. Paul peirce said it best . he say when he got to bk, he looked at deron as an superstar MVP but when he got there he say he could see deron didn't want to be that . bruh Kobe played with a broke finger shooting left shots . when y'all think of injuries y'all need to think about Kobe
@@neworleans018 You know what now that i revisit that time the man did look disinterested , he wasnt giving no effort, hell the man even stopped having crispy cuts
People don't like to speak ill of the dead but Sloan had his moments when he was an a$$hole. Based on the profile of players Utah had over the years, he was very likely a racist as well. He came from a different generation when coaches were like slavemasters to Black players. If there were times Deron felt disrespected, it was probably a combination of his immaturity and ego, but also Sloan's bias as well. Many coaches are notorious for being like that. Don Nelson was like that, Bobby Knight. Lots of inappropriate demeaning coaching, but it was tolerated because they were White. That is not to say Black coaches can't be the same way. Doc Rivers is notorious for never taking responsibility for his behavior, same with that jackass who kept saying "bitch" over and over to LeBron recently.
It takes a strong-willed man to admit that he was wrong. Props to you Deron! Can’t wait for the whole episode.

It was more than just injuries. He had a reputation for being lazy.

D-Will was my guy!! 6'5 and had a rep for taking knees and ankles
His crossover was so clean.
I actually met Deron a couple weeks ago. I work at a mall in Salt Lake City and he came in and bought some things. I asked him jokingly if he played for the Jazz and he goes “that was a long, long time ago man”
Rip coach Jerry Sloan. One of the greats at coaching.
D will was a beast but the only issues he had he was being lightskin to early in his career it wasn't they time yet again..😂😂😂😂
Real talk d will was a real sniper!!!
Lmaooooo factssss bro!
Hey and can’t forget he acted just like his damn skin color , light skin…
Deron Williams was as elite as a PG can get in the mid to late 2000s. CP3 always struggled against him.
there was a brief period when he was arguably the best pg in the game.
Facts!!!!!!!
It would have been longer if he stayed on the Jazz.
Because of Jerry Sloan
Emphasis on brief.
Most would have said Deron was #2 to CP3 but DWill used to give Chris all kinds of work. Was tough as hell for 5-6 years.
One of my favorite underrated players (Deron Williams)
Cool to see players/people grow as men and take ownership for their mistakes. Shows a lot of maturity. Props!
Takes a lot of growth to admit that. Glad they were able to talk.
Shuda said it when he was alive! That shit don’t hold no weight when they gone! FOH
@@b206580They literally met in person
Shout out to D will for being stand up and admitted!
Man the Jazz team with Deron, Boozer, Okur and AK47 was a legit team.
Legit enough to get swept by Kobe or the spurs.
@@ryukenhondaraidenoh you mean the 2 greatest dynastys in the nba for the last 24 years?
Wasn’t Paul milsap there too?
Jerry Sloan one of the greatest players and coach
D-Will and CP3 stayed going at it in the early 2010's.💪
What's fascinating is CP3 is still going out on his game and add an elite level. Even though he got bounced out of the playoffs this year he still playing like an All-Star every year even at the old age

I remember in the 07-09 time period people compared Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer to Stockton and Malone hahaha
They were killing it too
Deron always had those ankle problems, unfortunately it shortened his NBA career. Much respect to his run with Illinois and the Salt Lake years.
Real talk, respect to D Williams and RIP voach

Man I loved when he came to the Mavericks 🇨🇱🥶
The fact that he got Jerry Sloan fired showed how nice he was, Sloan was a icon in utah
Deron Williams was once better than cp3.He was killin CP3 too whenever they matched up w/each other.
Cap. He wasn’t better. Getting the best of someone a few times doesn’t mean your better. He was a better scorer sure but that’s it
Prime D Will was nasty, reminds me alot of Gilbert Arenas in how underrated they were.

Big ups to D-Will on this
Lived in SLC for one year in 2007. Was at the game when Deron hit that coast to coast last second layup to beat Lebron and the Cavs at the buzzer.
This was my guy man the way he danced on you man
Thank you for the uploads, love dwill
Dude would push that ball up the court like he had ludicrous speed😅IYKYK
Although Jerry Sloan can fight, J-Stack ain’t the one
There are "be right guys" and get it right guys." Glad to see Deron is a "get it right guy." Cheers!
Deron almost looks like Steph with a beard when he talks.
