As a Celtics fan since 1960, I have watched 10 finals featuring my Celtics and the Lakers. Nobody scared me like Jerry West--not Elgin, not Wilt, not Kareem, not Magic, not Kobe. Against arguably the greatest dynasty in sports history, he averaged (on 48% shooting): 31.1, 29.5, 33.8, 33.9, 31.3, and 37.9. As a point of comparison, MJ's finals scoring averages (also on 48% shooting) were: 31.2, 35.8, 41.0, 27.3, 32.3, and 33.5. Jordan averaged 33.5 in those six finals, West 32.9.
