NBA Hall of Fame

It's the first time I've watched induction speeches into the Hall of Fame.

I thought David Robinson was classy; ditto Vivian Stringer.

John Stockton... that's the longest I've ever heard him speak. It was moving. Stock was always media-shy in Utah. He was an enigma really, a stranger. Fans could project on him what they wanted to, because he kept his mouth shut. Unless he goes into coaching, that may be the last time we ever him speak.

Jerry Sloan... star. He walked a long road to get to where he was. I hope this is the year the Jazz can win the title and Sloan gets Coach of the Year. How many Hall of Fame coaches never won Coach of the Year, I wonder?

Michael Jordan... interesting to see that to be the best ever at what you do, you kinda have to be a jerk. The chip never leaves the shoulder. I believe MJ when he talks about the motivation that the doubters gave him. If only Bryon Russell had never taunted him, MJ might have stayed retired, and the Jazz could have won two championships. Never rattle MJ's cage.
