RIP Jerry West
 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Jerry West lived a profound basketball and American life — iconic as a player, executive and looming figure in the history of the game.

What a great life that dude had. RIP. What a team he built with Kobe and Shaq.

RIP to one of the most influential people in the history of the NBA.

I hope they don't change the logo to a tombstone or something. Or at least not permanently.

That’s a big one.

RIP.

I caught the 2nd half of his career with Gail Goodrich, Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor and Happy Hairston. Pat Riley was on the team too but I don't remember him as a player.

Loved watching him against the Knicks and Celtics.

Great career and from all accounts a really great guy.

I could not say it better. The NBA was actually very watchable back when he was such a big part of it. Pure class! RIP Mr. West.

Vlade Divac for Kobe Bryant will be his legacy as a general manager. He also helped build the 2010s Warriors. Dumb ass Buss kids ran him off.

He died twice?

If they had a 3 point line when he played he would probably hold the scoring record. Great NBA executive too.

RIP. Dude doesn’t get his due.

RIP Zeke from Cabin Creek!! One of my all time favorites in an era when I enjoyed the NBA. Growing up number 44 was the number sought after if you played BB.

Rest Peacefully in Basketball Heaven
