It's getting more & more crowded with athletes & rappers. I wish everyone didn't copy everything they see someone else doing but those days are gone lol. At least I know he's not doing it for money but I hate how all these people who lived their dreams are stepping on the toes of regular people trying to live theirs. Stars used to get interviewed by media, now they are interviewing people themselves.

This is pure experience. He talking about the Philippines in 1972 makes me proud as a Filipino. Perspective and opinions are different depending the experience. You always respect each other opinions. And this old man perspective is a living gem. You can see the respect of the 3 young man in silence while he speaks.

I’m amazed at how all these players love Mr Jerry West. You can be in awe and respect of someone who is one of the legends, but to see the love across generations that’s because of the relationships and who that legend is as a human being. You hear of how much respect players have for Wilt and Kareem, but it’s another level for Jerry West and Bill Russell; it has to be more than basketball

Having Bron isn't big at all. Getting the GOAT MJ would be epic. Or Larry Bird. Next Kawhi. They don't speak often.

Would be sick to see him get Bird, Duncan, or Hakeem just because how rarely they do interviews.

Excellent interview. PG is really good at this. Asks good questions, and just as importantly, is a great listener . Never interrupts his guests, even if they don’t really answer the question he asked. Basically, he just let Jerry West talk about whatever he wanted to, knowing that whatever it was, it would be interesting to anyone watching. I’m 80 years old, and was lucky to see West, Robertson, Baylor, Wilt, and Russell in their prime. West was way ahead of his time, far more athletic and versatile than the other 2 guards of his era. He played as much forward as he did guard at West Virginia, and like Oscar, was a hell of a rebounder as a guard when he came into the league. He was also a terrific defender. While listed as 6’3 or 6’4, he had the wingspan of a guy 6’7 and could really jump. It took him about 2 years to get his handle right, and once he did that, he was pretty much unstoppable . Combine that with superlative shooting and passing skills, and you’ve got one of the finest all around guards in NBA history. Forget the damn logo. When you’re talking about the top two guards to ever play, he’d rank in the top four or five. Personally, I’d take Jordan, Kobe and Wade as my top three, and West next. His game would easily translate to today , and if he wanted to, he could play the point better than any of the others. Great guy, totally humble, and a truly fabulous player!
