Inscription. After nearly five decades as a player, coach and team executive, Jerry West is one of the true icons and legends that the game of basketball has ever known. His fearless style of play and emotional, "wear his heart on his sleeve" demeanor, made him a beloved figure to Lakers fans. One of the game's all-time great players, Jerry was known during his playing days in the 1960's and early 70's as Mr. Clutch for his prosperity for hitting huge game-winning shots and his grace under pressure.
