Basketin ja mysteerien ystäville - Lue, miten Jerry West loi urheiluhistoriaa ja jätti jälkeensä arvoituksia!
Jerry West, jääkiekon legenda ja kuuluisa kunniajäsen, on poissa 86 vuoden iässä. Hänen hahmonsa kuvaa NBA:n logoa, mutta liiga ei ole virallisesti vahvistanut tätä. Westin ja Kobe Bryantin yhteys oli kuin luotu taivaassa, sillä heidän välillään oli erityinen yhteys jo vuonna 2010 NBA:n finaaleissa. Westia muistellaan suurena pallonheittäjänä, jonka nimi on ikuistettu urheiluhistorian kultakirjaimin. Hänet on jopa kutsuttu maailman parhaaksi koripalloilijaksi. West valittiin kolmesti Koripallokuuluisuuksien kunniagalleriaan pelaajana ja johtotehtävistä.
Jerry Westin poismeno kiteyttää yhden aikakauden lopun ja jättää urheilumaailman kaipaamaan lisää legendoja. Hänen poismenonsa synnytti surun aallon läpi urheiluyhteisön. Hänen perintönsä on jättimäinen, ja hänen panoksensa urheilumaailmaan on vertaansa vailla. Los Angeles Clippers ilmoitti hänen kuolemastaan, mutta ei antanut muita yksityiskohtia. Viimeisetkin suuret ikonit eivät kuitenkaan unohdu, sillä Jerry Westin vaikutus ja muistot elävät ikuiseksi.
