    Out of all the great guards in history - MJ, Magic, Kobe, etc... - Jerry West was the best shooter, that's how good he was (Steph would be the exception). He was a big guard at 6'4" (barefoot as opposed to how players are measured in shoes today), had hops and he was quick. He could finish in the paint with anybody and his quick pull up jumper was almost unstoppable. Mr Clutch would be great in any era.

      agree 100%..If you love NBA and Jerry West is not in all time great list something's wrong with you!!The man was quick and beyond smart on the court..I watched that final against Boston in 69,man he was def the finals MVP!!

      @@ThiagodMoraes The Logo had one of the best years ever for a guard in '72 when he averaged over 25 points a game, led the NBA in assists, and played GREAT defense. That Lakers team won 69 games and still holds the record for most consecutive wins by a team at 33.

    what an incredible human being...
    I remember back in late sixties early 70s...I was a young very young basket ball player 8 thru 14 years of age...this was in São Paulo Brasil...
    we heard and even saw the globetrotters in town...but we heard of few names from those days in NBA...namely Cousy,Russell,Baylor,Oscar and obviously Mr Jerry West...I'm a Laker fan because of him...I know Chamberlain was there too...but I was a point guard...and all I saw was pictures and heard how good he was...a scoring machine..
    I wish he was still a Laker...but nevertheless the love and admiration and respect is the same...

    I’ve been watching all kinds of Jerry west interviews today. I knew the name. Knew he was the logo. Didn’t know who he was though. Haven’t ever been a basketball fan with it not really being a big thing in the U.K. when I was a kid but I’ve been thoroughly engaged by this man today.
    I guess this is the effect of inside the nba being a tremendous sports show that I found one day on UA-cam. And let’s not get into how odd it might be to watch inside the nba but not watch the sport itself.

    Jerry, my favorite player of all time. His greatness is recognized by being the NBA logo. Most importantly his view of how a human being should always be willing to GIVE whenever possible!!! When he played he had no flaws. He played defense and shot the most beautiful jump shot ever seen in the NBA. I still think, to this day, although players are more athletic now, that he is the most fundamentally sound player of all time. Great offense, defense and great free throw shooter. Great career stats for someone that dunking was not part of his game. Long live his Legend!!!!
