Stephen A smith protecting himself, dude tried to change the logo to MJ and disrespected Jerry West. He is trying to walkback all those comments. The Lakers & Jenny Buss took away Jerry Wests life time tickets in 2021. Those were lifetime tickets from Dr.Buss . Lakers organization is trying to back track now after disrespecting him at the end after he built what the lakers became. Dr.buss would never have done that.
The Lakers freezing Jerry out was all Phil Jackson's doing. Phil wanted full control, even though West helped get him hired. Jackson thought West had too much influence within the franchise, and with Shaq and Kobe. After Jackson's run in with GM Jerry Krause in Chicago, he didn't want anyone checking him in LA. Jackson literally told West to leave the locker room on one occasion. Phil could be petty like that, and Jeanne Buss and her brother Jim went along with that.
Gotta get James Worthy to comment on West. Fittingly, Big Game said some really complimentary things about West a couple of months ago on Coop's podcast.
I like to think Jerry West, Bill Russell, and Bill Walton are playing 1v1 King of the Court somewhere right now. West and Russell will be going at it while Walton watches admiringly yet still contemplating how he's going to take down his next opponent. Meanwhile, Kobe is sitting in the bleachers waiting his turn to join in after one of the old fellers finally gets tired and says, "You're up, Rook!".
Oscar Robertson was better because you got the assist and rebounds along with the scoring. But Jerry was great. He had a mystique and his imprint on the game is lasting and won't be forgotten.
Jerry got a lot of assist as well and was a much better defender. Jerry led in both assist and scoring. And likely would’ve led in steals a bunch if it existed as a stat.
Rise in paradise 🪦 Mr West and thank you for being such a pleasure to meet and share your experience with my family the very first time I met you you were like a old friend and you definitely didn’t disappoint me not to mention Those Rookie Cards of yours that my brother begged me to get you to sign 😂 even though he had 20 cards you gracefully signed each and every one of them 👀✋🏾🙏🏾🤚🏾 we lost a Gem 💎 of a Man
Jerry was was a great NBA player and at one time was the NBA GOAT.
One of the 3-4 most important people in basketball history!!
Number 1 for me, but yes, agreed.
Mr. West, from West Virginia.
Absolutely a legend and the man we tried to emulate when we were young and playing basketball.
It's okay to feel sad. But people should not feel devastated because JW lived a complete, successful, and great life.

Exactly SAS did say the logo should be MJ. SAS always a hypocrite
A GOAT who influenced so many more GOATS! On so many levels.

Great summary by Bob
A blessing for this Lakers team has to come
A great tribute!!

I joined my plumbers local because of this guy. The things he could do with a plunger. Thanks JJ.
I’ll give it a week before JJ Reddick trashes his legacy
He won't dare unless he's foolish enough to turn the whole NBA community against him
Matt going to the same plastic surgeon as newsom
First😊😊
They can change the logo now
nope
No chance.
