RIP my man 😭😪😪😪😭😭😭 no words it also feels like you’ve always been around . Also thank you for your work. And for getting the players you did and believing in their talent say hi to Kobe and everybody else for us 😭😭😭😭😭😭 also you will forever be the logo. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am not old enough to have seen Jerry West when he played, but I have seen video of his games and for me, he is in my top 5 greatest of all time.! He is definitely the greatest NBA executive ever. He just knew how to build a winning team and a winning franchise. He will absolutely be missed!
As a Celtics fan since 1960, I have watched 10 finals featuring my Celtics and the Lakers. Nobody scared me like Jerry West--not Elgin, not Wilt, not Kareem, not Magic, not Kobe. Against arguably the greatest dynasty in sports history, he averaged (on 48% shooting): 31.1, 29.5, 33.8, 33.9, 31.3, and 37.9. As a point of comparison, MJ's finals scoring averages (also on 48% shooting) were: 31.2, 35.8, 41.0, 27.3, 32.3, and 33.5. Jordan averaged 33.5 in those six finals, West 32.9. And he is the only player in NBA history to win finals MVP on the losing team.
Jerry West's life has important lessons for all of us. One of his greatest legacies was the effort he put into teaching young people. His autobiography is also filled with important ;life lessons.
My most heartfelt condolences to Mr West,s family he was a great athlete and man , im a die hard celtics fan but even I recognized what a fantastic basketball mind Mr West had as a player and an executive , you will be remembered forever
You know there was some fun 1’s being played up in the after life today. I bet Kobe was first cause he is like that but I bet West was looking for Bill Russle’s ass second! RIP LEGENDS!
@NoKaOiBoiInDa805 0 seconds ago RIP Jerry West and I think it is important to make everyone aware the most dishonest, disturbing, disrespectful and FALSE depiction of the LOGO was the HBO docudrama Winning Time. That POS series depicted West as a jerk and those behind the show said they knew it was a poor depiction of him and fictional but they did it to add drama to their series. Shame on HBO for even funding it and worse for them to air that garbage. His descendants should continue his suit against HBO to retract their portrayal. He had a host of Lakers supporting him but POS HBO refused.
