RIP Jerry West
 

NBA legendary Hall of Famer coach/player Jerry West of the Los Angeles Lakers, whose image was the inspiration behind the NBA logo, won many championsips, a Presidential Medal Of Freedom recipient, and an Olympic gold medalist, has passed at 86. Enjoy the basketball courts in heaven, Jerry West. One of several NBA (and other sports) legends who've departed over the course of the last several months. Seeing that logo always reminds me of that NBA on NBC theme song from back in the 1990s.
