The Jerry Sloan Thread

[nuraman00]

That is awesome.

 

[nuraman00]

So no Jazz player under Sloan had long hair? Would Olynyk's hair be longer than any player under Sloan?

That wasn't really Christopher Reeve, right? Was there another actor who was also known for playing Superman, and if so, would that be the same actor?

 

[nuraman00]

What year is the Air Force commercial from?

I would presume it is someone from the Bulls organization, perhaps a lesser known player?

That thumbnail sucks. It gives away the punchline.

Bad take. That’s the joke and nowhere else to put it.

Yes but don't reveal the joke. Let the suspense build by watching the video.

Then the joke will hit better, because it's a surprise.

Otherwise it's like the Seinfeld episode where they aired the scenes in reverse order.

There was no joke in the actual video. It was my joke that Jerry Sloan typically dresses up with long hair.

I meant the joke in the Air Force commercial. They revealed Superman, which reveals the joke.

The uploader should have chosen a better thumbnail. That's why it was like the backwards Seinfeld episode.

I would have been excited just to see a thumbnail of Jerry Sloan.

OK, gotcha. Then I agree.

I've said it many times, but I think the 1997 WCF, and 1998 NBA Finals, get too much attention, compared to their counterparts.

The 1997 NBA Finals, and 1998 WCF, were very interesting too.

These are the times a 60 win team has gotten swept:

* 1996 60 win Magic get swept by the Bulls in the ECF
* The 2017 61 win Spurs team getting swept by the Warriors in the WCF
* 1998 61 win Lakers getting swept by the 62 win Jazz in the WCF
* The 1975 60 win Bullets getting swept by the 48 win Warriors in the NBA Finals
* The 2015 60 win Hawks getting swept by Cleveland in the ECF.

Maybe I should have put this in the "Best Team In Sports" thread. But I guess if it's happened 5 total times, it's not as unique.

The Jazz did accomplish an awesome feat, in sweeping a 60 win team.

Sloan and Hornacek strongly resembled each other…
