Jerry West is gone, but the logo will go on forever.
News of West’s death on Tuesday sent shock waves through the NBA. One of the greatest players, executives and people ever associated with the game died at 86.
At the NBA Finals, coach Jason Kidd was emotional about West, who he got to know as part of the West Virginia crew that left a big imprint on the NBA during the ‘60s, ‘70s and beyond.
“When you talk about the Logo, Jerry was a gentleman to everyone,” Kidd said before Game 3 of the Finals.
