He fearlessly rebounded with the bigs, set aggressive picks, and he believed that the dispensation of discreet violence was like Christmas presents ? it's far better to give than to receive.

    Not that he wasn't willing to take his lumps. In fact, Sloan was the only player who routinely gave up his body trying to draw charging fouls against Wilt Chamberlain, the NBA's resident behemoth and one of the strongest men in the history of the NBA. No surprise, then, that during both the prime and the dotage of Utah's perennial All-Stars, Karl Malone and John Stockton, Sloan coached a power game.</div>
