RIP Jerry West

[Cam]

On a solemn day for basketball fans worldwide, the NBA community mourns the passing of Jerry West, an icon whose impact on the game transcends generations. Known affectionately as “Mr. Clutch,” Jerry West’s contributions to basketball as a player, coach, and executive have left an indelible mark on the sport.

A Stellar Playing Career​

Jerry West was born on May 28, 1938, in Chelyan, West Virginia. His journey from a small-town boy to an NBA legend is a testament to his relentless work ethic and unparalleled talent. West’s college career at West Virginia University was nothing short of spectacular, earning him numerous accolades, including the NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player in 1959.

In 1960, West was drafted by the Minneapolis Lakers, who shortly thereafter relocated to Los Angeles. Over his 14-year career with the Lakers, West became synonymous with excellence. He was a 14-time NBA All-Star, a 10-time All-NBA First Team selection, and the 1969 NBA Finals MVP—the only player in history to win the award from the losing team, underscoring his extraordinary performances.
