![I tell the players, 'I'm sorry that you got hurt, but there's not a thing I can do about it'. You've got to go forward. That's the only thing I know. That's what I've tried to convey to our players. We've been fortunate here. Our organization for 18 years had very few injuries when John [Stockton] and Karl [Malone] were here ... I understood all along we were fortunate our guys stayed healthy. That's life in the NBA. If you don't like it, there's other jobs. - Jerry Sloan Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=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&author=ICBKZXJyeSBTbG9hbiAgICA=&num=7 "I tell the players, 'I'm sorry that you got hurt, but there's not a thing I can do about it'.
