Rigved Goyal I agree it should not be changed. It is a classic and it's on tons of merchandise all over the world. Symbolically as well to have Jerry West, a poor kid from Virgina dubbed "Zeke from Cabin Creek," as the logo portends that anyone from any walk of life, no matter how obscure, can achieve great things in the league through dedication, hard work and perseverance.

@surfrunnerd8457 6 жыл бұрын

Lou Che that will be sad because so much tradition is there. Jerry is very humble and never expressed the desire to be the logo, never got paid nor ever requested to get paid. MJ or LeBron would no doubt demand huge huge royalties, because that's the mentality these days. If the NBA was willing to change it and cough up the huge dollars involved, then I think it would set in motion future changes as well, as MJ and LeBron are both somewhat forgotten when new and better players come down the pike. I think Jerry's logo is just such a cool image taken from a real photo of him driving with the ball. But really so many great players thru the years, how does one pick? Maravich, Kareem, Wilt (no doubt the greatest of all time), Russell, Magic, Bird, MJ, LeBron, Akeem, Duncan, Havlicheck, Oscar Robertson, Dr J, the list goes on. Here's an idea. Not just one logo. Have multiple logos. Fans could stock up buying NBA gear with logos of all their favorite players.

I don't think it was because Jerry West represented the soul of the game, but I think it's the picture of him. Looking at the picture, you can see the moment, always feel the scene unravel and it almost makes your breath hitch. The raw emotion and power that was in the photo probably radiated the same energy and vibe the NBA did to the guy who created the logo.

I think the logo fits well, because it's probably not too difficult to find other dribblers take up roughly the same position every time they drive. If anything, the logo foreshadowed the golden age of the dribbling guard. Nowadays that's part of the essence of basketball. How well u can cross someone up or blow past them

@ivan5. 6 жыл бұрын

In 1971, when logo was created, Jerry West was the best player, with the best shot and best form, also great ball handler/passer/defense/all around skills- essence of basketball. In 1970-71. Jerry was NBA scoring champ 1970, Finals MVP 1969, a 10X All Star/All NBA 1st Team, NBA All Defensive 1st Team 1970 (1st time), etc...Russell was most dominant player in 60s and retired in 1969. So AT THE TIME, 1971, it's almost no brainer to see why the logo was modeled after Jerry West. If I had to change I'd choose Magic Johnson, who played all 5 positions, because Jordan already has a logo. And if I had to choose a Big, I'd choose Russell or Kareem. Lebron if had to really update, but too recent.

@peternguyen6128 6 жыл бұрын

Don't forget what he did as a management. He bought Championship everywhere he went. With the Lakers Shaq and Kobe era, and than Kobe and Paul era. He then went on to Golden State and put them on the map with his dealing and drafting. Nobody made the more high profile trade and came out ahead than Jerry West.

@TheAnti888 6 жыл бұрын

Why should it change? It's been the same for how many years now? It's iconic, just leave it alone, regardless of who it's supposed to portray. Those saying it's just because he's white c'mon. Regardless of whether that was the intent or not, let's leave the racism out of this. We all know the league is like 85-90% black or something like that, honestly who even gives a shit about the logo? I don't watch the NBA to see the logo then turn the game off, I watch to see some basketball. The logo is just there for branding purposes, doesn't take anything away from the game or it's players today. With that being said I still believe they should leave the logo alone for recognition, Although it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they changed it to someone else. No active players though and no to Jordan's image. its already too iconic on its own and Jordan was/is an asshole. Even as much as I hate the Lakers, wilt or Russell would be a worthy change. I would vote for Tim Duncan though, loyal teammate, strong in game, humanitarian outside, proven champion and his bankshots are well known. Hell of a team player and that is what it takes to be a champion these days. Look at GS, they have 4 HoF'rs on the team and run it every year. Pretty much shows that the league isn't a "put the team on my back and win" game anymore. Unity on the court and Duncan is a model for that. Sidenote- I'm a rockets fan, not the spurs. I just respect Duncan that much.

Good point on the logo achievement

@AxelPRC 4 жыл бұрын

If the logo changes to another player the NBA will have to pay him. Jerry West doesn't care for the $$ so he's really the perfect guy for the logo. He's an absolute legend and a champion on every level

Jerry is indeed on the short list of people who got passed over for MVP. Though playing at the same time as Wilt, Russell, AND Robinson will do that to ya. Elgin Baylor is on that list too.

Call it what you want,, but I think the NBA made a really good choice picking Jerry West as their logo. With all things considered, he's never tried to sue them for it. I mean he's clearly not in it for the money, (which signifies how humble he is). In my opinion, Jerry West is the embodiment of what NBA should be. Truly a one of a kind man who deserves the recognition he gets!
