it was great watching all of these players throughout the years, and seeing Jerry Sloan on the sideline. Stockton was a pistol on the court that you couldn't stop or get a hold of. He was always one step ahead of the defender or the players on the court, and he made passes glide and turn to gold when he touched the ball. David Robinson was a beast. I remember him with the Spurs fit perfectly. Him, Duncan and Popovich were a dynamic tandem, and he held that team together, even though they won numerous championships after he retired, but still. MJ doesn't need to be summed up too much. He was the heart of the game. He kept us interested, and wanting more, but he gave us more, and took us on a rollercoaster ride that most people will never forget. I follow Rutgers but I don't know the Womans Rutgers coach, but I'm sure she was very instrumental in Rutgers having the good basketball teams that they had, and was a good coach. Finally, I remember Jerry Sloan as a classy, quiet but very good coach for the Jazz. He is still their, but was never given credit for the great teams they had, when they had Malone and Stockton. Congrats to all the players & coaches inducted today & a great job. That's all I wanted to say

John Stockton was probably the premiere point guard of his generation and one of the premiere point guards of all time. He was a consummate team player and a class act on and off the court. David Robinson had an awesome combination of size and skill and his goal was always to use his gifts towards team success and not individual stats. He too was a class act on and off the court. As classy as these two players were Jerry Sloan was equally classy as a coach. He never made himself the center of attention but made his teams the center of attention as they were always contenders. MJ was amazingly skilled and was fun and exciting to watch. He almost singlehandedly rebuilt the NBA fan base which had been shrinking prior to his arrival.
