Jerry West was the biggest revelation of the point guard position. He leads the way with his offensive displays against a number of tough oppositions. He was selected by the Minneapolis Lakers, which later relocated to Los Angeles, as the 2nd overall pick of the first round in the 1960's Draft. He was widely recognized as one of the best clutch shooters of the game.

He is officially called Mr. Clutch and his 60 feet shot against the Knicks during the 1970's Finals of Game 3 to tie the game has a lot to do with that. His career could have taken many U-turns, appearing in a few Conference Finals and NBA Finals. He was injured a few times during the Playoffs, limping on the court but still put up huge numbers.

Throughout his playing career, he has scored 25,192 points, 5,366 rebounds and 6,238 assists throughout his playing career. He has been selected for 14 All-Star Weekends and was the All-Star Game MVP and an NBA playoff champion in the same year 1972. He played with Wilt Chamberlin to win his only NBA Championship.

His number 44 jersey was retired by the Los Angeles Lakers. He also served as a head coach for the Lakers between 1976 and 1979 but failed to win anything. He then went on to served on the executive board of the Lakers and is responsible for bringing in Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and Phil Jackson.
