Jerry west is GOATED... man was averaging over 40+ points a game and without the 3point line... and he was a very good outside shooter He is clearly the perfect player for the logo. He literally embodied skill, desire, perseverance and a never give up attitude.

Legend. Thank you! Rest In Peace.

[@stevecaldwell6169]

Another magnificent player (person) from my youth has passed. Another sad day for basketball along with the death of Bill Walton.

[@OthnielAdopo99]

RIP to One of our favourite enemies (I'm a Celtics fan)

[@mfresco]

An icon, literally.

[@johnm7053]

Fly high Jerry you will be remembered 😢😊🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

[@donthevalen]

All C's fans will mourn you too SIr Jerry West!

[@elreiec1]

A pioneer and titan of this sport. He could have had even gaudier statistics and awards if the 3pt line and All-Defensive Teams had existed during the entirety of his career. RIP to an absolute legend.

[@CaptainBenjamins]

I remember my dad taking me to the LA Laker games to watch Jerry West play. As a player he was the man, imagine having a 14 year career averaging 27 ppg without a 3-point line. And then having Elgin Baylor and Wilt Chamberlain on your team who also averaged 27 and 30 ppg.

[@olivertancredi2078]

RIP to a true icon of the game. I remember watching him growing up, I always wanted to be like him and Cousy.

[@AirRusher1992]

RIP Logo. Definitely the legit OG player to rely on when it comes to crunch time and that jumper is so perfect and deadly which make me think that he can be a perfect fit if he plays today.

[@Diamondplays2008]

[@timphelps605]

60s and 70s. Unless you mean consistent GM.

More on Jerry West. Jerry was the Chairman for the LA Open, which generates critical funds for local charities. He made a promise that for a generous contribution, he would make a public appearance in exchange. Our company made the gift and we picked 50 customer and employee Laker fanatics to meet with him at a local restaurant. I was there an hour early for set up. Jerry walked in by himself 10 minutes later. (What celebrity shows up early?). I greeted him and told him I had just finished his book “West on West”. We talked for 20 minutes. He never took his eyes off me. Meeting him was like revisiting with an old friend. He was kind, funny, curious. A true dialog. When our guests started to come in he talked with each of them. Signed anything they brought in. Then talked excitedly about basketball for 45 minutes. Then took questions. I don’t know if I was more stunned or impressed. It was the best event we ever held. And the LA Open reached their contribution goal. We need more people like him. Epilog. I asked Jerry, “Your playing card lists you at 6 4”. I am 6’2” and I’m looking up at you. How tall were you?” He gave me a sheepish grin and said, “Bill, I played at 6’6” but why tell them that.”

[@Narcashi]

Man we're losing so much GOATS and we recently just lost Jerry West.. Legend carried games and clutched so many games, truly a Legend.. and it kinda hurts the fact that we might lose a lot of NBA legends soon enough, but they impacted one of the biggest and best sports in the world and they brought memories for people to carry and remember.. R.I.P Jerry West man, may another NBA legend fly high 🕊🕊

[@teamexploringmotor7894]

Good job!!!

[@createusummercamps2476]

He's the reason I wore number 44, rest in peace🕊

[@royskuderin2386]

My favorite Jerry West memory is watching him make that half court shot on T.V. as a young teenager against the Knicks as the first half expired in a Championship game. NO ONE has done that since.

[@bentonquest4184]

A great player, great general manager, and impossibly so a better human being. I miss you already Jerry. RIP to the greatest Laker.

[@BryceRogers_]

Not the Logo man 😪 He really changed the game to help it become what it is today. I’ll never forget him picking himself 1st round in the draft at NBA 75. That’s a true hooper moment

[@glennc8991]

I grew up a Knicks fan and I used to get so upset when they played the Lakers because Jerry West never seemed to miss. Amazing shooter.

Rip legend

[@chrisverby3047]

Someone told me that if West, one of the greatest scorers in NBA history, had totaled 10 more points in three finals game 7s (1962, 1966 and 1969), the Lakers would have had four championships instead of one during his career.

[@rayjohnson6767]

1 and 8 in the finals but he’s regarded as Mr.clutch foh rip tho

All of the greats are falling one by one.....Gone but not forgotten. Rest in peace Logo 🕊️🕊️🕊️

[@talbotdarren]

Jeanie Buss should be ashamed of herself for not naming Jerry West as one of the five greatest Lakers. In my mind he should be unquestionably No. 1. Name any other player in league history who had the same impact, not only as a player but also a coach, GM, and executive. RIP Mr. Clutch, the world is a lesser place today without you.

[@wftorres3913]

VERY TRUEEEE

Most kids of this era now have no idea who or what he was and how great he was. RIP Jerry

[@katiejo1095]

I spoke with several players from his Era, football, too. They all said Jerry West was the gentleman of the game ❤.

[@memediff3475]

Respect to Jerry west for what he contributed to the NBA. A legend and his passing is a loss the to the world. RIP the LOGO

[@theodon7461]

Don’t take life for granted one day you’re here the next you’re gone so be happy and enjoy your life rest in peace the great west

[@clarencemcdade5221]

Aman To that

[@ethanmloszewski2896]

A true basketball legend and one of the Greatest to do it. Hooping on the other side with Kobe and Wilt all the old heads:) Be in power Mr.West.

[@jingqi9106]

Jerry West was not just a great player, which he was at the highest level, he was also a class act and a person of high character. As a player, he was most certainly taller than his listed height of 6'2" or 6'3" and Mr Clutch had one of the best pull up jumpers ever, he could drive into the paint at will and was a great passer as well as a great finisher, and the Logo is one of the greatest guards on defense ever. Mr Clutch was quick, fast, he could really jump, and had long arms so he was a problem for opposing guards and teams. Jerry West is one of the greatest players of all-time. 💯🔥

[@JerryJohnson-b3z]

Jerry and Kobe are running 2s against Wilt and Bill😂😂😂

[@TheBobbyWatson]

One of the best to ever do it! RIP Logo. ❤ 🙏🏻 🐐

[@cidinhd]

Such a heartbreak to see another NBA legend dead❤. LONG LIVE JERRY WEST

[@SHADOWFOX1464]

An Era that is sadly coming to a close.First Bill Walton now the LOGO Jerry West. His legacy will stand forever, what a great player and an even better person. I got to meet Jerry at my high school exhibition game. He talked to me about controlling the tempo of the game. i wont ever forget it. Thank you for your contribution not only to a game, but in our lives. Your genius gave us some of the most memorable moments in life. Imagine the logo giving you advice, i will never forget it. Thank you sir, you mean the world to me.

[@Killerlizzerd97]

Don't forget the legend Bill Russell

[@nimo6140]

First Bill Walton and now Jerry West...this year is not kind to NBA legends :(

Damn man..all these legends passing. RIP NBA Legends.

[@Bee-lieve623]

Jerry West and Oscar Robert are my two favorite all-time guards 😢🏀

[@surfdocer103]

Not like me to love a Laker, but this guy was everything. He’s my all-time starting point guard.

[@brixdeansurbona7134]

Jerry West was so ahead of his time. His moves were pure. RIP MR. LOGO

[@markcezar9035]

Rest in peace Jerry Legend the man behind the NBA Logo🫡

A literal icon of the game. RIP Mr. Clutch

[@ColoradoRockies9407]

R.I.P Jerry West 🏀🏀

[@thorphoeung6057]

I am a big Celtics' fan since the 80s. But I highly respected Jerry West throughout the years. He was a Hall of Fame player, but his talents went beyond the basketball court. He was instrumental in the Lakers' dynasty with his eye for talent evaluation. Kobe was his key piece that he was directly responsible for being over to the Lakers. He also was instrumental in the Warriors' dynasty with his role in the organization. RIP Jerry West

[@katiejo1095]

Thank you.

[@gabrielhanna-pj2wk]

Rest in Peace Jerry west🫡🫡🫡

[@RodSpeak11]

RIP....thanks for the class.

[@ericbowers1471]

A person who was ahead of his time as far as a player and and executive in the office. He will be dearly missed by all in the game of basketball.

[@anhiirr]

Is just a legendary level of dedication and passion for the game
