Jerry West is dead

   Barry Moon

        Today we have the sad news that another former NBA baller has died. Jerry West played in an era where there were more white Americans in the NBA than Serbians and Mr West ranks among one of the best guards in the history of the game. Jerry West was so great he remains the logo of the league as his passing and shooting


skills were extraordinaire and he ranks among perhaps the best White basketball player not born in Europe in the history of the game. Jerry West passed and dashed and was an in between from todays black dominated game to the shoot and pass jump less early NBA era when most Serbians and Croats played the game with fruit baskets. Jerry West has shut up and he will not dribble and by some estimates jerry West dribbled a ball 12 million times in his lifetime. Jerry West died decades after he last played in a official game and I reckon he was more of a general manager in his NBA career than player and Mr West did a much more commendable job as most other

former stars handed a general manager position. Jerry West built the Kobe and Shaq championship teams as the Los Angeles Lakers remains the preeminent championship and most glorified team in the sport of basketball. 

    It is doubtful that Mr West would be playing in the league to this day even with the talent as he would be overlooked and likely discriminated to the point he would be not allowed in the league as the number of native-born white Americans virtually is n\on-existence. Jerry West had a sixty-year NBA career literally transitioned from grainy black and literally transitioned the league from a grainy black and white to early


networking of color television in the early seventies before moving to head coaching to general management west helped transition and redistribute wealth and the game from a white sport to a predominantly black one . Jerry West was the Pat Sayjak of the NBA and both men had a long tenure of their respective games that almost coincided with one another and thankfully both of them are kaput. One can only hope with west gone the lakers domination and dynasties are kapeesh. You will never see a white native-born player play with such success as Jerry West or Larry Bird and indeed all of the future NBA Caucasian stars will have foreign name like Donick Jokic or whatever.
