Jerry West is a personification of the old-school coach/father figure types we used to hear about. They would discipline you, be hard on you, guide, educate, but deep down love their players like a father. The term "guru" comes from that - guru doesn't mean expert; it means the one who enlightens.

@@platano3000x he's not talking about just pure playing impact, he is saying that all around jerry west is the greatest laker because he had a huge impact in so many of the championships the lakers won over the years. He was the coach / general manager for the team during the kareem / magic era. Then when they retired he was talented enough to keep the team relevant during the 90s so that he could convince shaq to sign there and make a draft night trade for kobe bryant and create the next laker's dynasty. Only reason he doesn't have even more rings as an execute for the lakers is because he left as he felt his job wasn't challenging enough, so he went to memphis to try and build a playoff team from nothing.

He literally is a time lord. When he was an advisor for the Warriors he played a part in the decision for them to trade Monta Ellis instead of Steph which seemed risky at the time.

Jerry west must be like a fortune teller or something. He knew Shaq was going to be good watching him play in 89 and he knew Kobe was going to be good so he traded so he could drafts Kobe

It would be funny when the Lakers give Kobe his statue and they place it underneath Shaq's statue making look like he's carrying Shaq.
