West Virginia basketball legend Jerry West has been named to the NBA 75 Team, a list of the NBA’s greatest players in honor of the league’s 75th anniversary. The list was released in alphabetical order, so it is unclear where exactly West ranks among the players on the list, but it is still an incredible honor to be named one of the greatest players in the history of professional basketball.

West was an All-American at WVU, where he played from 1957 to 1960 and won 81 games during his college career.
