Many people who aren’t die-hard NBA basketball fans don’t even know who Jerry West is. Its unfortunate that legends who have paved the way and influenced the game as we know it today aren’t even relevant to majority of today’s basketball fans. Not only is Jerry West one of the best basketball players of all-time but he is literally “The Logo”. The default player for the NBA logo is Jerry West and once again he was honored, this time by his former NBA team as player the Los Angeles Lakers as a statue has been put in the Staples Center. During the ceremony sports icons like Magic Johnson, Chick Hearn, Oscar De La Hoya and Wayne Gretzky were in the building. A 14-time All-Star who averaged 29.1 points a game in the postseason, West’s No. 44 jersey already hangs in the Staples Center rafters.
