The "logo"... maybe the most "frustrated" best player ever. Showed you don't have to win a ton of titles to be highly respected.

His range was amazing. If there was a three point line in his era he would have a lot more points.
I was able to watch the Lakers live three times and even met him once. What a class act.
RIP Mr. West

In the totality of his career probably the most influential and impactful person in the history of basketball. Zeke from Cabin Creek.

Not sure how many of you watched, “Winning Time,” an HBO mini-series about the Jerry Buss/Magic Johnson Lakers. The producers/directors laid a real hit-job on Jerry West, played by Jason Clarke.
I didn’t KNOW the man…. but I was a kid who grew up in San Diego. I HATED the Celtics and LOVED the Lakers! West and Baylor, especially.
RIP, Mr CLUTCH!!

I have it on good authority that Jerry West just did not want to live to see the Celtics win another NBA Championship.
