    Wow was this emotional!
    My “relationship” with Jerry West. As a kid in New Jersey, our favorite entertainment was my dad taking us to Harlem Globetrotter games. They had this “point guard” … what was his name; oh yeah Wilt. I saw him live several times. I “followed” him into the NBA.
    I thought he’d be my favorite player for ever; but Jerry West “ruined” that. In a time of tremendous racism, the moment I saw his excellent bi-racial harmony with Elgin Baylor and their basically equal skill level – I became a Laker fan for life; and my two favorite players have remained West and Baylor.
    And in Their honor, I dedicated my entire adult life to the fight for Justice in this world. (I worked 40 volunteer hours a week for 10 years to help end the US slaughter of 2-3 million innocents in Vietnam (among several other causes).
    Later, I “met” Wilt at the San Diego Sports Arena at a game. It was half-time, I was walking up the stairs and he was there in an aisle seat. He was almost as tall as me seated as I was standing.
    I couldn’t get a word out! He smiled at me with such compassion.
    Btw, I SWORE I’d never “embarrass” myself like that again. But a few years later, on a jog thru Balboa Park in San Diego, I almost collided with this giant redhead on a bicycle he dwarfed. It was Bill Walton. Again I froze.
    Do I get an “award” for being the world’s biggest fool?

    1 Corinthians 15:1-4
    King James Version
    15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

    2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

    3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

    4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

    RIP Jerry West and I think it is important to make everyone aware the most dishonest, disturbing, disrespectful and FALSE depiction of the LOGO was the HBO docudrama Winning Time. That POS series depicted West as a jerk and those behind the show said they knew it was a poor depiction of him and fictional but they did it to add drama to their series. Shame on HBO for even funding it and worse for them to air that garbage. His descendants should sue for smearing him late in his life.
