This man is 85. Looks tremendous and sharp for his age

[@thedigitalodometer945]

I’d do him.

[@raz5231]

I love PG’s last comment: ”So the NBA got it right, they chose the right silhouette.”

[@mehranhassan3297]

Literally no one wants to change the logo. Jerry is a legend; class of his own

[@Dimelo.R]

Man Kobe died and I was emotional asf I wanted it changed to Kobe Ngl 🤷🏾‍♂️😂

So Jerry is goat of nba?

[@mr.j410]

​@chriswatts5572 exactly. The time he was picked they wouldn't even consider a black player

[@steviechampagne]

@@mr.j410man the logo is iconic. changing it to some new shit is going to be tacky and outdated. it’s okay to have traditions and celebrate them in the modern day

[@EricBilodeau-ln9vy]

I don't know why anyone thinks Jerry West should be replaced as the logo. The man has been a part of the NBA for 63 years now ever since he got drafted in 1960. First as a player than as a coach then as an exec multiple times. He went to 9 finals as a player, he built 3 different dynasties as an exec. the Kareem/Magic lakers, Kobe/Shaq Lakers and the current Warriors. He's won 8 championships as an executive and that's leaving a bunch of titles that he deserves credit for on the table because he left his teams in the middle of their winning (i.e. he left the Lakers in '00 after the 1st of their 3 peat and he and left GSW in '17 the year after getting KD in the middle of their back-to-back years. He's at minimum responsible for 11 championships as an exec with many more finals appearances on top. There's no other person who ever lived whos done more for basketball than Jerry West. Anyone who mentions replacing him as the logo should be ashamed of themselves.

[@adingdingdiiing6740]

I love his answer. Heck even Paul didn't pick up the point Jerry was making. He doesn't want to be identified as the logo. The purpose of that logo was to give that budding league a symbol. It didn't have to be a star. It represented anyone and everyone. If you pick someone like MJ or Bron or Kobe or anyone else, it would make the logo very familiar. No one player represents the NBA. They can name awards after legends but the logo itself should remain an everyman.

[@dribblewithjacob9131]

Thanks for the explanation. I didn’t fully comprehend what he was saying but now it makes sense to me

[@W.e.s.l.e.y4572]

true, if they wanted someone considered the greatest back in the day to be the logo, they would have picked bill russel or bob cousey. I mean the guy (jerry) only won one finals MVP in 1969 the year the logo was created. its like if they created the logo now and Jokic was the one on it.

[@dyl923gonz7]

I would absolutely love to sit with Mr. West and just listen to some of his old Lakers stories. great guest PG!!!! still wish you were in the other LA colors tho. LOL

[@PatBlackJR]

The logo is perfect the way it is. No egos, no claim to fame, no real care other than the pure love for the game. Just about everyone who suggests that it should be changed is for 1 selfish reason or another and that's the exact reason why it shouldn't be changed.

[@BLGClipsx]

4:30 that statement flew over PG head. He doesn’t want people just to think he’s the logo. He just want people to respect his character that’s all

[@evan.escent]

nope he got it alright. He's saying only a character like that is the deserving choice for the logo.

[@igiveyouthefacts]

Actually it flew over your head. PG completely understood what West was saying, so much so that he felt that the NBA chose the perfect person to represent the logo. PG came to his own conclusion that Jerry could care less about being the logo and that’s exactly why he closed with saying “the NBA got it right” because someone who cares more about being a good individual and caring for others over being a silhouette logo for a professional sports league should be the most deserving

Keep the logo. It's a way to remember the NBAs early days.

[@pouncingpantherpucks2779]

Listen I never got to watch Jerry West play. I was born in 2002 but when studying the game and looking back at what I missed, I must say that I have so much respect and love for the man. I read about his life and I can relate to a lot of the struggle that he went through which include contemplating suicide. His perseverance helped me get through my own difficulties and become strong. If he can go through horrible struggles and become a legend in his field, then I can do the same. He has so much humility and humbleness and I love him for that. He was a great player but he's a legendary person.

[@cjwrench07]

It has to be either Russell or LeBron, for their On & Off-Court lives. MJ & Kobe are out, just like Wilt & Bird would be, for the off-court controversies. This is foremost The NBA’s new brand and the person would have to be non-controversial, so no “technicalities.” Pastor Bill Russell and philanthropist LeBron James are both family men, active in their communities, gave people a helping hand up, and stood up when attacked by the media / public-personalities who argued they didn’t have the same rights as everyone else.

If they ever do change it, the logo should be a basketball, not another silhouette of a player. That would represent the league and the selfless aspect of a team sport.
