And in turn he's blessing all of us by having done this in front of a camera:

:bowdown: :applause:
When Jerry gives a shooting lesson, players listen! Legend.
Re: Jerry THE LOGO West blesses Harrison Barnes with a shooting lesson!
why was this at a Lakers facility? I thought Jerry West was employed by the Warriors?

You don't usually post about anything besides Wilt, but when you do it is legitimately good stuff :bowdown:
Re: Jerry THE LOGO West blesses Harrison Barnes with a shooting lesson!
Jerry legitimately has a broken jumper. If he tried to use that in today's game he would get stuffed almost every possession. I only played D-2 ball but I could teach Mr.West a few things about A) Keeping your elbow unilateral and B) Keeping your knees upright

Re: Jerry THE LOGO West blesses Harrison Barnes with a shooting lesson!
it probably wasn't even worth it
West he himself knows that.
if they lose the championship because any wrong doing that of his own.

Jerry West has probably forgotten more about shooting than you've learned.

He is but I think he's just training in LA, could even be just for the video. And maybe West lives in LA though I'm not sure on that one. That alone would be good reason for Barnes to be there, I recall reading West offered to show him some things or Barnes asked West about it or something, and they agreed to meet up for it. Since West is an old man, probably was at West's locations and times of choice.

Lolllll ok.
Re: Jerry THE LOGO West blesses Harrison Barnes with a shooting lesson!
that's a sick video
harrison barnes is going to be compared to kawai in the future. it's not this video that convinced me, but it's obvious the guy has all the tools. 20+ ppg scorer in three years max.

Barnes looks like he's really paying attention to West's advice, and he's got West excited about his improvements.
If West gives a player his blessing... well West has proven to have GOAT tier talent recognition. Barnes is going to at the very least, maximize his potential talking and listening to a legend like West. It's like when Kobe and other players go to Hakeem to learn moves.
There's a slew of legends that just command authority on their knowledge of the game. West is one of them it's so cool watching him teach.

I remember watching KD's offseason documentary and he was playing at a Laker's facility so I assume in the offseason its pretty common.
Re: Jerry THE LOGO West blesses Harrison Barnes with a shooting lesson!
West might be the overall basketball GOAT when you consider all of the great things he's done post retirement.
Even some guys from the 90's are horribly out of touch with today's game, but West still has a great eye for talent.
Re: Jerry THE LOGO West blesses Harrison Barnes with a shooting lesson!
barnes just looked really good this year. it's his jumper. same form every time, perfect mechanics. his handle is adequate. he bulked up and has a great body. his only competition for minutes is on the tail end of his career. and he's surrounded by a shitload of talent.
i think this is a no brainer but maybe i'm just hyping myself into it

He was also utilized better by Kerr than what Marc Jackson did, Barnes also became more assertive.
