RIP Jerry West

[micropolitan guy]

I forgot that Michelle Wie is his daughter-in-law.

Now that he’s gone they’ll replace him on the logo.

I watched Ep. 3 of "Clipped" last night and noted that Doc Rivers was pissed that Don Sterling's statement about his racist comments was released on a Clippers letterhead. Then today, the announcement of Jerry West's death was made by the Clippers.
Jerry West was, is and will always be a Laker.

Blame the Lakers, apparently. Good colm by Plaschke: Plaschke: Laker legend Jerry West's final legacy sadly includes estrangement from Lakers

Scott Ostler on West and how, as we've discussed elsewhere, how "Winning Time" did him dirty. Gifted link.

Who was Jerry West, really? An iconic NBA character who got a bad rap on TV

Another gem from this morning's Green: Warriors were looking at trading Klay Thompson to Minnesota for Kevin Love after losing in seven to the Clippers in 2014. West, then an adviser to the Warriors, objected vehemently, to the brink of threarening to resign. Don't even want to think about what might have happened if they ignored him.
