- KSL Exclusive: Coach Sloan led the Jazz to more than 1,200 wins, including two trips to the NBA Finals. Now, he faces a much greater challenge. He sat down for his first TV interview since he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia.
rest in paradise legend 🕊❤️❤️
RIP Jerry truly one of the great coaches of all time! 🙏🏻 👼
He was lucky he had Stockton and Malone who bought into his system and allowed him to coach them in his tough old school style.....after they were gone there was a young punk star player on the Jazz that caused Sloan to quit due to him not liking Sloan's style of coaching....
Rest easy, Legend!! 🙏🏼 You will be missed. Thank you for the memories🙏🏼❤️
As a Lakers & Bulls fan, I grew up cheering against Jerry Sloan. But life is bigger than sports. And this just breaks my heart because even though I spent years cheering against him, now I’m cheering FOR HIM. Much love & respect Coach Sloan. ✌🏾💜
I live in SLC and remember 10 years ago going into an Italian restaurant that is now closed at the gateway. Myself and a date were sat down. Jerry was in a booth right next to us wearing glasses and studying a book alone. I’m not a basketball player by any means, but I just didn’t want to let him down at any cost, even just sitting at a table next to him. So we didn’t say anything to him, and we didn’t say anything to each other. We sat there quietly so we wouldn’t distract him. Rest In Peace coach.
Kudos to you. If I was you I would have called his attention and asked for a photo. Guess you taught me something
Rip Jerry one of my fav coach
Rest Easy Coach! 🙏🏽
We'll pray for your condition coach! Greetings from Serbia!

Jerry Sloan was a great coach of Utah
What an amazing man. His courage and grace inspired me!
I was a laker fan during 80s but I respect Jerry coaching style. He is kind yet tenacious. I hope he died peacefully with no pain. RIP Sir !!
Coach Sloan, stay strong! My favourite NBA coach!
May his family be blessed 🙏 R.I.P. to a legend!!! 💖
RIP coach Sloan! Much respect
I get kind of emotional from seing this as my dad, who is the same age af Jerry Sloan, also has parkinsons and dementia. Like Jerry, he devoted his life to his sport, which was golf. My dad has coached some of the greatest talents in danish golf history and was honored 5 star PGA golf trainer of the year in Europe in 1995. First person in Denmark to ever win that. Golf is still fresh in his memory eventhough his diseases have weakened him a great deal. He however is still as amazing, positive, unselfish and kind as he always was. As time now may have caught up to him, I will forever be greateful of how wonderful of a dad and person he was. My heart goes out to Jerry and his loved ones as well. Keep respecting, love and admire the man and show him gratitude while you still can.
Great words, very well said. I hope your dad, and Jerry Sloan, are doing well and fighting the disease. Stay strong.
How is your dad doing?
@@lazyhusband Thanks for asking, I know many are watching this video today. My dad also passed away - now 6 months ago. It was time and despite the grief of loosing him, I feel better for him now that he is not suffering anymore and is resting in peace, like Jerry Sloan.
@@noonevincecarterfan I'm sorry for your loss
@Mark Handberg My condolences to you and your family.
Take care Coach
Still miss him
Coach Sloan god bless!
Rest well in paradise sir
I was always proud that he came from southern Illinois. Heard he is not doing so well. Great athlete, coach, and human being.
Love you Jerry
Prayers
R.I.P. Mr. Sloan.
Como no lo voy a admirar si hizo gran equipo 👏👏👏👏👏
Rest in Peace god bless
Rest in piece legend you will be missed
Rest easy coach
RIP sir 🙏🏽🥺
R.I.P. Jerry Sloan. You are the legend the same as Phil Jackson. I was a Utah Jazz fan , when you have Stockton and Malone combination. The King of Pick and Roll.They should win 1 championship, but lost to the GOAT Michael Jordan. RESPECT and God Rest his soul.
You are the best Jerry Sloan, I would watch you play with the bulls,as I was a hawks fan. Pistol Pete said he hated playing against you, cause you were so darn tough. I hope you know I enjoyed every game you played and coached.
I loved watching your intensity; Tough as Nails. Please keep fighting, you are my hero Coach Sloan; so darn tough!!!
Always knew how great a coach he was. Frank Layden who proceeded Jerry in Utah was also a great coach and a terrific interview. The Jazz never seem to get over the hump but they usually have a very competitive team. They had a real shot to beat the Bulls.
Rip Jerry Sloan the legend

Deron williams destroyed this man
Aristotle 7 I just noticed your comment, what happened between them ?
Oh GTFO if you believe that then you need to reevaluate life.
@@gunnergunner3121 deron refused to listen to jerry sloan. Drove jerry crazy , forced him to retire early . Few laters later he got ill..
@@1roundleft821 he could have coached 2-3more years at least if it wasnt for deron , that bum
@@mb7945 bro do you see his condition? It wasn't Deron, it was his health. You can believe that conspiracy if you want to but the truth is that Jerry was frustrating fans years prior. He refused to catch up with the day of age.
He died 😢🙏
