RIP JW44 🙏
A very nice eulogy Trevor sincere and heartfelt as a human being and a fan
I thought Jerry passed away a while back. RIP to a Laker legend.
I had the opportunity to interview West and Magic on Maui years ago (roughly a month or so before Magic returned from retirement). I had to compliment West for the Dan Ford trade to Cleveland that eventually turned into the number one overall pick that became James Worthy. He outdid himself years later with two moves in one week that netted Kobe and Shaq and eventually hired Phil, who he reportedly didn't really like, but realized was the one coach to get Kobe and Shaw to work together and nab a title. After the interview, West talked to me for a few more minutes about the prospect of Magic returning. I expressed doubts that the current isolation-minded players would fit with Magic's pass-first mentality. He actually agreed.
The has just Lost the greatest basketball mind ever R.I.P. Jerry
Never thought I’d see Trevor break… RIP
The Logo 👤🟣🟡🏀🪦
Rip 🙏 my condolences to his family and friends
RIP Jerry West aka the logo 😢😭 🙏
Clipper Jerry!!
He was not Kobe Bryamt. He wasn't even the best on the team. That goes to Elgin Baylor who unfortunately played during a time black players didn't get that kinda love to be made a logo. But we was still an excellent player amd without him we'd probably still be at 5 rings. Great GM and team builder. Rest Easy Champ 💜💛

Sad day to Lakers nation. No JW no lakers championship
Sad day:/
Very sad day!! Mr Clutch my first favorite player back in 1969-70 when the Lakers lost to the Knicks in the finals. He was an amazing player and an even better executive. RIP 🪦
The people using his death as a gotcha moment to crap on the Lakers are the lowest form of scum imaginable. The Laker hate and piling on lately has gotten so overboard.
Rest in peace to Mr Logo, Mr Clutch and Mr Laker, Jerry West. 🕊️
As a Lakers fan since 1986, it is very conflicting and complex when it comes to Jerry West. Yes, he was responsible for so many good moves that helped build the Laker brand and turn them into champs such as signing James Worthy, Shaq in 1996, drafting Kobe with the pick from the Vlade trade to Charlotte, trading for Horry, trading for Glenn Rice, drafting Derek Fisher, etc…Just my opinion but I think after Dr. Buss passed away and his son made all those terrible decisions, Jerry West was not there to support Jeanie when she needed him the most. I do NOT think its coincidence that Jeanie singed off on taking Jerry West's seat that had been preserved for him all those years. He bashed the Lakers in order to recruit Kawhi and Paul George so it's not surprising to hear how distant the Lakers Org. had been with him for all those years. Nevertheless, Rest In Peace, Jerry West. Thanks you for all you've done for the Purple and Gold. Despite it all, you will ALWAYS be a Laker.
My respect for a legend to bring us to much joy with the lakers team in contrary with this cheap management to gives lousy and cheap players
Alot of people didnt see it st the time but jerry west saw a legend in the making from kobe bryant. And he done everything in his power to get that kid eith the lakers. Hes one of the greatest minds in basketball.
When asked about the top five most important Lakers of all time, Jeanie Buss listed Kareem, Kobe, Magic, LeBron and Phil Jackson and left out Jerry West. Phil was probably the best coach in Lakers history but LeBron does NOT belong.
I feel really sad! But all I have to say about Jerry West is that this gentleman was nothing but class personified. God bless him and his family. My condolences to all!
Rest Easy Legend💜💛🙏
Rest easy Dr West
Much love
RIP MR. LEGEND🙏🏽
RIP Jerry West. A laker legend 💯🕊️
Said the Celtics aren't winning another ring on my watch and went to the spirit realm for the first 3-0 comeback
🙏🙏🙏 rip
The Lakers organization is truly embarrassing for this. One of our greatest ever as a player and person. The lack of respect shown compared to the passing of Kobe is just sad.
