Jerry West died mere days from a college coach refusing the Lakers HC job. Had Jerry been running the Lakers for the past two decades, I don’t think the Lakers would ever be in a sitch where the UConn coach rejects the Lakers HC job..
@@y2shuproblemregardless of Hurley.. Jerry wouldn’t of let what happened in the last decade happen to us. He’s very under appreciated, and I’m disappointed in my lakers failure to recognize that today.
It's crazy that Jerry West was 52 years old when he had his last child (Jonnie West) who currently works for the Golden State Warriors as an Executive.
Man kobe would stay at his house before he got his living situation in LA...and hang out with ryan west. I wonder how proud it made jerry to realize he found another SPECIAL player that wasnt about the partying and bs that comes with the fame. Jerry believed Kobe believed he wanted to be the greatest he could be...and that same faith is what JERRY had with the majority of the nba's talent. No other Great player on court...will ever come close to what Jerry was off court. The culture shift was pretty obvious for the clippers and once they got rid of doc and hit their first ever WCF appearance...with TY Lue a player West drafted. Jerry pulling the pau/marc move for the lakers sake and MEM future sake. His lore and connection to the game spanning multiple eras/HOF eras. He is the true DON of the game. What i would give to be in the same room as MR LOGO and CHICK just talking GAME. Ill save that moment for the next life.
@@ArtfulDodger-d2p as much as I hate the Celtics being a diehard Lakers fan, I have to tip my cap to them as well. They’re definitely the best team this year. But I’m not OK with it and the Lakers organization shouldn’t be either.
@@Est.1998 that's fair. Not sure if you're familiar with the Sacramento Kings and the DEEPLY talented squad they had with Weber, Christie, Peja, Jason, Bibby, Vlade, and Hedo. It was so curious that for all their talent and seeming cohesion, they couldn't figure out how to beat the Lakers. What more could you ask for as a basketball fan? But unfortunately, for whatever reason, their opportunities were squandered. I'm not particularly diehard for any specific team, but Sac was special and it was annoying to constantly see them tank and tarnish at the moment of truth. In a way, this Celtics team is reminiscent of that Sac team. So it'll be nice to see them seal the deal and silence the "what about a ring" crowd. And your Lakers might recover if they figure out how to attract and keep good players instead of catering to one or two guys.
@@ArtfulDodger-d2pRefs in game 6 of '02 WCF took their best chance to win it all away from the Kings. Still the biggest travesty in sports history til this day.
West was a basketball genius. Was responsible for the showtime lakers, got Shaq and Kobe together, hired Phil Jackson, and was responsible for the Warrior dynasty too. Far more impactful than 99 percent of people in the nba
Bruh the nba media after these guys retire will be n good hands jj reddick lebron pat bev pg13 countless others who’s gnna keep the nba talks interesting
NBA logo is iconic and growing up that logo is the NBA, it's just an outline of Jerry West. Not like it's a picture of Jerry. IDC who the logo is, Kobe or MJ would work though. I'd be fine leaving it as it is, or going to Kobe. I don't see why they'd go to MJ when the silhouette of MJ you think Nike before you think NBA
Jerry West is the definition of a LEGEND
All I thought about when hearing the news was his interview after Kobe died… I’m just glad they are back together in heaven😢
I loved Jerry West and PG"s relationship. Jerry is a true legend
Jerry West In A Word #Iconic
The logo should never be changed nobody cares how many chips you win he is the perfect person and perfect body type

In the defense of Hurley, he has a chance to become the 2nd ever HC to ever 3-peat in NCAA Men's Basketball history.

The Lakers treated Jerry like shit...I still haven't forgotten Jeannie.
@@d.a.m.1470 what they do to him?
Lakers wouldnt be needing a new coach if Jerry was GM
Jerry West is A Basketball G.O.D. and The LOGO.
It's crazy that Jerry West was 52 years old when he had his last child (Jonnie West) who currently works for the Golden State Warriors as an Executive.
I’m 70 and had a child a couple of years ago it’s possible
West was always a clutch shooter
@@ImportAl Jerry West didn't miss on and off the court.
He had what most people wish they had: CLASS -God Speed JW!
Nice tributes from all. Michael Wilbon was right, Jerry was a basketball god.
Sad day for Mountaineer Nation. 💙💛💙💛💙💛💙
Legend ❤
Jerry West isn’t the Goat, he’s a God
😢😢😢😢
Lakers
Memphis
Golden State

Greatest plumber of all time. Thanks JJ.
He's still gonna be remembered as the logo
When you die, your family will be happy prob
Jerry West a truly ALL AMERICAN PLAYER WITH AMERICAN VALUE'S TO THE GAME OF BASKETBALL. THERE ARE NO ALL AMERICAN PLAYERS IN TODAY'S NBA
We keep losing legends
@3:33 it's " The 'Gift of Gab '". This reporting is because he can out talk you. Pays money for that "gift ". Never wanted it myself.
Jerry West dies and the Celtics are about to hang banner number 18. What a punch to the gut. 😔
But #18 will be for the two Bills that we lost. And after the controversy in LA, Jerry might be tipping his hat to the Celtics! 🎉

what a coincidence logo passed away the same year Celtics will win the crown
He made sure the Clippers never won a chip 😅
Stephen A is silly going to Jerry West with that logo nonsense
Don't change the logo!
Nobody uses jerry west on nba2k
Speak for yourself dummy
71 lakers team is goated in 2k, got hella people rage quitting in play now online
I did
He has hella badges but too slow
@@greenbane2105Actually he was faster than you know am sure you say that because he was white
Imagine if that jordan logo becomes the nba logo
as much as i am an mj fan, the nba logo should never be changed. :(
Never gonna happen. It would cost the NBA a lot of money to do so
The PLAYSTATION RULES ARE CORRUPT AND PLAYSTATION POSING IS THE DUMBEST REASON TO PLAY BASKETBALL
The NBA is a global educated market of sloppy coaches
Oh, just another plumber/ part time fireman passing - JJ reddick

Wow

Can we get a new logo?
Can you get a new face?
Jerry West said that.
Fk na we can’t
No

You can look forward to a new NBA logo. The black vultures have been waiting to JW to die so they can replace him
They’re will be no change. They’ll probably just add another, to the uniform.
Jerry West is the Abraham Lincoln of the NBA. Race meant nothing to him, competitiveness did..
The logo should never be changed nobody cares how many chips you win he is the perfect person and perfect body type
