Sad day family…we lost another Legend

[@neugey]

He displayed so much humility and candor. Mr. West was a role model.

[@rohitpai1086]

I’ve never seen Trevor so somber. Sad day for Lakers fans all around. RIP Jerry

[@dominikjahn2411]

.. I've never seen Trevor so sad. Heads up. Now we really have to get the title for him.

[@trashcan1112]

Damn you must have not been around when Kobe passed away.....

[@Szabi9246]

RIP Jerry West . What a huge loss , can’t ask for a more genuine and good hearted person. Fly high legend

[@jennifermartin8628]

One of the very best to ever do it. My sports hero as a kid. While a college sophomore in 1974, I found out that the Lakers always played a pre-season inter-squad game prior to the pre-season at the old Loyola gym (picture an old high school gym). Tickets were $2 and you could sit anywhere, first come, first served. I drove up from OC early in the day. FINALLY a chance to see my hero! While driving up, it was announced on the radio that Jerry had decided to retire. When I got to the gym (very early), I saw Jerry's 240Z parked nearby, license plate "Clutch 44". Gail Goodrich was outside reading the late edition sports page with a story about Jerry retiring. At the start of the game, there was Jerry, sitting in the bleachers under one of the baskets, chatting with injured center Elmore Smith, who had just replaced Wilt Chamberlain, just the two of them alone. I think that I stared at Jerry West that whole game.

[@kevinking6082]

Indeed, he was very special. Yes, Jerry " Mr. Clutch" West and Gail " Stumpy" Goodrich, Elgin Baylor, Wilt "the Stilt" Chamberlain and Jamaal "Silk" Wilkes and Chick Hearn...yea, they were all like extended family during my childhood and Jerry West and Gail Goodrich to this day are one of the best backcourts of all times!!! RIP... Jerry West

[@robertviehweg2432]

I’m 66 years old and remember him he was Great and played with along with Great other players 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@gregoryk.tanaka4285]

I met him once. Jerry West was as classy as it gets! What a warm and sincere human being! The Logo was the greatest ever, in my book.

[@craigosterberg5045]

West and Baylor got me interested in basketball and being a Lakers fan. Great player ex. Coach . RIP.

[@roberthsu4862]

RIP Jerry West. He is now up in heaven, alongside Kobe.

[@ericmcgilp9704]

My first memories of the Lakers are of listening to Jerry West on my transistor radio in bed as I went to sleep. RIP Logo

[@lmarko24]

Trevor, us longtimers know this news hits home for you. Thank you for taking the time to post the video. when I started watching basketball Jerry was the GM for LAL , this is a sad day for #Lakersnation the NBA and all those affected by the loss of a true legend. ❤ #RIP44

[@LN-Lifer]

Thank you, Trevor This was the first place I came when I heard the news RIP Mr. West

[@HeartTools]

He was my childhood hero. I can still remember being out on the playground at 10 years old pretending I was Jerry West. He gave decades of great moments and memories to Lakers Nation.

[@adamsmith-jm5fd]

Greatest basketball person ever... college, Olympics, Nba player, coach, GM and genius. My favorite athlete of all time. And what a player... like no one else ever. My favorite all time, so sad thus day arrived.

[@pabloramos420]

RIP ... We all getting old man

[@OneR03]

Thanks for everything to an all time great Laker great, the Logo, legend..

[@andraebibbs706]

Hey Trevor. Nice job and thank you. I’m one those who remember Jerry West the executive. My dad and uncles told me tales of West the player and through that, my 26 year old son is a “Kobe” Lakers fan. Well said my man. God bless

[@TonyPickens]

😢 MR. Logo Jerry West brought us Both Shaq and Kobe.

[@brya6270]

More than that by a long stretch. Won as a coach, HUGE for putting the 80s lakers together, told Dr Buss that Pat Riley should be the coach when Buss wanted West to coach the team, Great scout, NBA champion, GM Everything laker. Jeanie is a horrible person for alienating him.

[@thejoshmejia6913]

Pau Gasol as well, let’s not forget that he brought us Gasol

[@djmojolosangeles8190]

A TRUE GOAT! MR.CLUTCH, MR LOGO, MR. LAKERS ! He is before my time but he and Magic are reasons why Im a LAKERS fan. His competitiveness was second to none and he was close to being a complete player in my eyes. Thank you for all the MAGIC you bestowed on us both on and off the court, your knowledge and passion will be missed. Rest In Peace Mr. Jerry West 🙏

[@ddelice]

What a year…Sobering…Jerry West gave his life to this game. He’ll always be a legend. Sad day indeed.

[@cleokey]

One of the best ... I watched West and Baylor play when they came to LA.

[@scottmoore3043]

RIPG - Rest In Purple & Gold! Great shot maker, Great talent taker, thanks for getting us Shaq & Kobe and rings! 😢

[@sergioperez2123]

I feel really sad! But all I have to say about Jerry West is that this gentleman was nothing but class personified. God bless him and his family. My condolences to all!

[@stevewise1656]

Oh no. He's been part of my life since I was a kid. He was the greatest GM in all of sports history. Winning Time made him out to be a clown. That wasn't Jerry West. Younger generations who watched that show and know little about him may believe he was that character.

[@jackshannon4695]

Smh this hurts man rest in peace Jerry west the logo

[@vatoloco4739]

RIP Jerry West always a Laker Legend

[@emojimr4427]

This one hurt please put respect on this man name .....RIP LOGO

Very sad day!! Mr Clutch my first favorite player back in 1969-70 when the Lakers lost to the Knicks in the finals. He was an amazing player and an even better executive. RIP 🪦

[@aznpikachu215]

RIP, the Legend, the LOGO. now he can play 1 on 1 with Kobe above us. Wish he could have been with the Lakers during the final years who started it all.

Rest in peace to Mr Logo, Mr Clutch and Mr Laker, Jerry West. 🕊️

[@normlee6566]

I had the opportunity to interview West and Magic on Maui years ago (roughly a month or so before Magic returned from retirement). I had to compliment West for the Dan Ford trade to Cleveland that eventually turned into the number one overall pick that became James Worthy. He outdid himself years later with two moves in one week that netted Kobe and Shaq and eventually hired Phil, who he reportedly didn't really like, but realized was the one coach to get Kobe and Shaw to work together and nab a title. After the interview, West talked to me for a few more minutes about the prospect of Magic returning. I expressed doubts that the current isolation-minded players would fit with Magic's pass-first mentality. He actually agreed.

[@kristianso3250]

RIP Jerry. such a great player! The Logo...😪

[@AWF1000]

Alot of people didnt see it st the time but jerry west saw a legend in the making from kobe bryant. And he done everything in his power to get that kid eith the lakers. Hes one of the greatest minds in basketball.

He’s playing one on one with Kobe now.

[@yassar217]

RIP Jerry West. A laker legend 💯🕊️

[@yushaaanan729]

Rest in peace. What a great man he was.

[@MYSONMYBUDDY]

Jeanie did him wrong, he was my idol as a kid & shoulda be a Laker for life & he woulda fixed the franchise as he did before when he wanted to un-retired. Instead helped build 3 others.

[@thegangstadr]

Wow, I was not expecting that, Rest in heaven JW aka the logo 🙏

The has just Lost the greatest basketball mind ever R.I.P. Jerry

[@F1st26]

First Bill Walton and now Jerry West? So sad man... Rest In Peace to 2 of the Greatest Players of All Time

[@veerasachdev]

The Lakers organization is truly embarrassing for this. One of our greatest ever as a player and person. The lack of respect shown compared to the passing of Kobe is just sad.

[@NicolasAristizabal-rb3ju]

Never thought I’d see Trevor break… RIP

[@CarlosGarcia-w4h]

My respect for a legend to bring us to much joy with the lakers team in contrary with this cheap management to gives lousy and cheap players

[@andrewchristopherson2588]

Said the Celtics aren't winning another ring on my watch and went to the spirit realm for the first 3-0 comeback

[@johnnybray9016]

Sad day for Laker Nation, and all the basketball. 😢

[@diabetichoneybee8796]

Saw him play in 1966. Hail and farewell.

[@Jimmyjamm2024]

Great man ball player GM he could do it all

[@isaacsaina3170]

What a bad week for lakers fans man😭

[@d.a.baracus]

It saddens me that the Lakers failed to reconcile with West before his death. After his time with the Warriors, West wanted to return to the Lakers, but the Lakers turned him down...

[@arikejoja9461]

RIP Jerry West aka the logo 😢😭 🙏

[@spicyjuniormint]

The people using his death as a gotcha moment to crap on the Lakers are the lowest form of scum imaginable. The Laker hate and piling on lately has gotten so overboard.
