And even with all that competition, it would be impossible to put together an honorary like that without including Jerry West. A man who would make a compelling case to be on the league's Mt.

The remembrances were widespread and personal, speaking to a man with great integrity and honor, who was personally caring and giving, even while struggling to find peace and happiness when it came to his own accomplishments. We talk about the rich, but complex, legacy he leaves. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Jerry West dies at 86. SEGMENT 2: The fascinating legacy of West. How his perception of himself frames the way we see modern NBA players. SEGMENT 3: A moment for the coaching search, and final thoughts. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
