We mourn the passing of Gary Briggs, who passed away earlier today in Utah. He was the NBA’s best trainer, working 18 seasons with the Cavs before spending 15 seasons with the Jazz. Prayers to Sue and their family. We’ll miss you Briggsy.
We mourn the passing of longtime athletic trainer, Gary Briggs. Gary spent 15 of his 33 years as an NBA trainer with the Jazz, leaving his mark on the franchise that will last forever 💜
Our thoughts are with his wife, Sue, his family and his friends.
“I was always told we should make some place better than when we got there. So that was a motto for my life.”
-Lenny Wilkens
He did just that. What a legend. RIP Coach
@terrypluto Thanks for sharing. Lenny was such a special person and a great communicator. We sure had some special memories at The Coliseum. You had the best seat in the house for those years on the press table next to the Cavs bench, watching Lenny put on a coaching clinic.
@Mark25Price@RickNoland Coach Lenny was so great on and off the court. What an exceptional coach and mentor to all of us. He will certainly be missed but never forgotten.
@BDbaseball6@CleGuardians@GCLESPORTSHOF So sad. Rich was one of the kindest persons that I ever met, as we worked together at the Cavs. Condolences to Lynn and the Rollins family.
