How amazing of a coach was Jerry Sloan? He turned tin cans into gold....

That ambidextrous son of a bitch was nasty around the rim off dives doe.

......what is most amazing is that Sloan got the Jazz to the Western Conference Finals with Deron and Boozer playing on the same team! They actually bought into the "pick and roll" and were very successful running it for about 2 years! Obviously, it was Sloans doing.....because right now, I wouldn't pay Deron or Boozer the minimum NBA wage to sign with my team!

In Deron's defense (and I despise him for what he did to Sloan and the team), he just hasn't been the same due to injuries. He had wrist problems the year of the trade and has had a bad left ankle for a couple of years now. As for Boozer, Chicago deserves what it got. They were bidding against themselves when they signed him; few other teams even wanted him. I do agree with CY and Fish; Carlos was amazing around the rim. I don't think too many players in the NBA have been able to shoot with either hand from a variety of angles like Boozer did. It was fun to watch. Then again, I always had to watch with the volume off due to his profanity...not good to watch a Jazz game with a young child when Boozer plays - unless you want to explain to the wife why your child now has the vocabulary of a drunken sailor.
