"Pride makes us artificial, humility makes us real". - Jerry West

RIP, Jerry. An all-time great NBA player, successful in the front office, and most important of all, humble and caring.

Thank you for honoring your Brother’s sacrifice 🇺🇸. And thank you for living an honorable life. R.I.P.

You just know this great man Jerry West is going to Heaven RIP Mr. West will never be forgotten

RIP Mr. West. I wish I was old enough to have watched you play the great game of basketball.

My idol, R.I.P. Mr. Clutch, you were one of a kind! ❤

I started following the NBA in 1963-64 when I was ten years old. Back then he was viewed as an extremely talented player and an all-time favorite. The Boston Celtics just had a better "team" and that is what stopped the Lakers. God gave him physical gifts and a mindset to the point where he was specially ordained. His talents and abilities could not be taught. Needless to say he was my favorite player when I was growing up and because of him I became a fan of the LA Lakers. As one commentator said - Jerry West's personal life was complicated, but I just wish he knew how highly he was thought of by so many people. May he rest in peace and I trust he is enjoying heaven.

As a GM Jerry always signed those players who were focused and worked hard and unselfish.

R.I.P. Kobe and Jerry 💛💙😞

I loved watching Jerry West when he was playing. His jump shot was the most perfect I've seen before or since, arm straight up from the elbow, hand spread across the ball, with a release and follow through that practically guaranteed the ball would drop through the net. He was a good man from very humble beginnings similar to my own, so he kind of showed me that it didn't matter who or where I came from, I had permission to allow myself to have success in life. And by the way, in the early 70's the CBS Network televised the games nationally, and I remember when they played their opening they showed Jerry West dribbling the basketball down the court and around other players, and then then his body morphed into the NBA logo. So it IS Jerry West on the NBA logo.

Listening to him speak, what a nice and humble man. Wish there were more people like him in the world of politics and business. Think the world could become a better place overall, not overnight. But possible.

Love you Mr. Clutch! RIP

He was a great man.

Nice to hear West speak. The logo matured with wisdom and though he was always a bit private and somewhat introverted... he held it in a lot but those that he knew and tuned into him saw his wisdom intuitively... Kobe was one of those who had a private and respectful intuitive friendship with Jerry West. Rest In Peace Mr. Clutch Mr. Logo.

Jerry Buss would SPIN in his GRAVE if he saw how his DIMWITTED DAUGHTER has treated JERRY WEST along with the LAKERS.

I loved this player with ally heart as a kid in the 1960's,and early 1970's,,,,,he will be missed by the entire country ,,,,he was by far,,,, the best and most complete guard ,both on offense and on defense ,,in the sixties a superstar and man can he shoot that basketball ,! a beautiful text book jumpsuit !,,,He accomplished so much in his career he will always be Mr clutch RIP ,,,

wish the Lakers organization made amends with him. I still remember he was pissed when his lifetime tickets got revoked a couple years ago

what a great and touching 23 minutes. He lived his life and his actions showed more than the lip service most modern players give. Less talking more doing and again its very sad how the Lakers and the Buss family did him. Such a messy family and situation with Jim and Jene

Zeke from Cabin Creek...RIP

In the 1965 playoffs ,,,he averaged 46 points a game !!!!!!!!

RIP

I always followed Jerry West games even in Vietnam. Did the Lakers win last night... how many points did Jerry West score? That was in 1965.

TRUE MOUNTAIN NEAR WEST BY GOD VIRGINIAN!!!!!

when was this --what date ? thank you

44... nothing else to say

There no date provided to give context as to how long before his death this charity function was. When you have a title that says "before his death", it implies it was recent.

Pure class. Jerry is experiencing the glory of God now… Jesus is coming soon. Prepare yourself.

The most important thing about Jerry West life is he accepted Jesus Christ as his lord! We will meet again in heaven! Peace and grace forever!!!!

so....this was BEFORE his death? thanks captain obvious,, GEEEZ

icalling biden an idiot? who's the idiot ask nba people.

Long-winded, boring drivel. Get to the point sir.

As a laker fan I'm sorry that the Lakers failed u in every way possible I know we r about to enter a dark time in the NBA when the celtricks win that 18th I'm done with the nba boycott it at all cost

RIP
