Summary
In this Best of The Herd, Colin reflects on the incredible life and legacy of Jerry West. Plus, Colin wants to know what is going on in New York with the Jets in mandatory minicamp but no quarterback Aaron Rodgers to be found. Colin thinks Rodgers comes off differently than other recent quarterbacks who relocated after a long stay with their drafted team. Also, Colin explores why women's basketball in the United States can't get out of its own way. Later, Colin wonders if the Dallas Mavericks—down 2-0—can make this NBA Finals competitive against the Kristaps Porzingis-less Boston Celtics. Finally, FOX Sports NBA analyst Ric Bucher sits down with Colin to share his thoughts on the desperate Mavericks, UConn coach Dan Hurley spurning the Lakers (and what the Lakers do next in their coaching search), and the late Jerry West.

It's hard to, he had so many successes. He was almost a basketball whisper. Even to the end in the last seven, eight years. If you had a basketball dilemma, |
| 1:18.0 | call Jerry West. And that's what we start our show today. He was so many things. He was an all-time great player who became the logo. You don't just make any player the logo. |

| 1:45.5 | you've read that in books, because he understood what greatness looked like, and he was not willing |
