RIP Mr Clutch JERRY WEST

[L.Kizzle]

Was 86 years old.

[1987_Lakers]

Wow, Rip.

Only all-time great player who also went on and became one of the best GMs in history.

[Real Men Wear Green]

He had the greatest overall basketball career of all time. RIP. I can't help but feel that the Lakers should have been the ones making this announcement, not the Clippers.

RIP Jerry West.

[Im Still Ballin]

RIP to The Logo. A legend.

[Phoenix]

Wow, talk about a giant of the game. RIP Mr. Clutch

[warriorfan]

Wow. That’s unfortunate. RIP

[Naero]

RIP to one of the all-time legends. :(

He wasn't just an ATG player; he was an accomplished NBA professional on every level. He excelled at every conceivable role he served in, from his iconic basketball-playing days to his front-office positions on every echelon (HC, GM, and executive).

[Soundwave]

What a legend, RIP. Incredible player, incredible front office exec.

I remember how devastated he was when Kobe Bryant died a few years ago, he said he'd never get over it. Now they gonna run the Lakers squad upstairs.

[Wardell Curry]

He had the greatest overall basketball career of all time.

It's either him or Russell. God bless.

[highwhey]

damn Bill Walton just passed a little over 2 weeks ago and now this. RIP to another legend.

[John8204]

People forget Jerry basically walked into the league and elevated the Lakers into perennial title contenders. He was as strong offensively as he was defense...had the 3pt shot existed he would have been in the 30K club.

I think in respect for Jerry the logo should be retired and replaced with Kareem and do a league wide retire of 44

[L.Kizzle]

damn Bill Walton just passed a little over 2 weeks ago and now this. RIP to another legend.
Hall of Famer Chet Walker died last week as well.

RIP Mr. Clutch. Truly a GOAT life he'd led. Condolences to his family and loved ones, and to LA Nation. Sad, sad day.

[pandiani17]

RIP Mr West. One of the biggest legends of the game.

[sdot_thadon]

Rest in glory to another forefather of the the game. It's up to us to keep telling their stories the right way.

[Overdrive]

Whatever he did. He's the Lakers. R.I.P.

[Neal Romer]

Guy went thru a lot on his way to greatness, and was apparently always happy to help and support those who came after him on their quest as well. He’ll no doubt be missed.

[jlip]

Aside from being an all time great player, he was the architect of some of the best dynasties and turnarounds for organizations. His work as GM for the Lakers is well known, but he also built the Grizzlies' best teams also. And his knowledge of the history of the league was second to none. This is a huge loss to the basketball world and obviously, mostly to his family.

[FultzNationRISE]

It sort of feels like Lebron is now destined to inherit the mantle as the game’s recognized patriarch.

RIP Jerry.

RIP Logo

[90sgoat]

RIP smoothest jumper.

Great guy for the league.

Chick Hearn, Kobe and Jerry West packing some arena in heaven right now with Jerry Buss on the sidelines

[bladefd]

He was Mr. Lakers before Kobe or Magic or Kareem.

R.I.P Legend

[Mask the Embiid]

Got 86 years. Cant be mad at that. Salute

[999Guy]

He seemed mentally sharp on the podcast appearances I saw. This feels like a terrible loss.

[red1]

RIP

[Soundwave]

Probably goin at some of the Celtics upstairs with Kobe, Wilt, and Elgin on his squad. Have fun Mr. West.

[bdonovan]

Did a lot for the game. Lived a full life. RIP.
