Who will be presenting Sloan/Stock at HOF ceremony?

by moni on Sep 2, 2009 2:21 AM MDT Comment 3 comments

Sloan declined to reveal who would be presenting him for induction, though it won't be Stockton. He is still working on his speech and has heard from several former teammates who will be in attendance --- including one from grade school.

Since it's fun to speculate or there's nothing else to do right now but speculate (for those that aren't fans of other sports), who do you think Jerry and Stock will choose to present them?

I don't know if there are any rules as to who can present, but if there aren't, mu guesses are:

Sloan--Dick Motta or Phil Johnson (since Bobbye, brother/best friend Buck, LHM, Johnny Kerry, and Norm Van Lier have all passed away)

Stock--it's gotta be Malone right? I mean, it's gotta be.

I can't wait to see those two being forced to accept acclaim and then hear the speeches praising everyone but themselves.

All comments are the opinion of the commenter and not necessarily that of SLC Dunk or SB Nation.

Magic should present Stockton...

…and he should say, “Stockton is the best pure point guard of all time,” and say so while looking Isaiah Thomas right in the eyes….

Isn’t Isaiah Stockton’s Chris Paul? And, honestly, it’s hard to say Stockton is better than Isaiah looking at the highlights….except that Stockton has the numbers. What if Isaiah had played with Malone? They would have fought each other, I think. Stockton’s most valuable trait was putting up with Malone’s ego and shenanigans.

As for Sloan, it should be Hot Rod.

I'll make it coach.

I think Frank Layden would be perfect to introduce Sloan

Great speaker and he of course turned the team over to Sloan.

my sister (a huge spurs/david robinson fan)

just told me that she read in the SA papers that presenters have to be enshrined already…meaning that no one that’s been mentioned here is eligible except magic johnson…

i’m quite surprised that hot rod isn’t in the HOF…
