Dang, man. WTF? That family should hire a cardiologist to test the sons regularly from age 2 on.

RIP Jerry West

He passed away at 86.

He averaged 27 ppg, 81% FTs, 47% FG, 39 minutes a game.

He averaged 40+ mpg in 7/14 of his seasons, and 39+ mpg in 9/14.

Also averaged 2.6 steals per game in 31 games in his final season. That would have been 3rd if he would have played in enough games.

Steals became a stat in his final season.

Been to 9 Finals, winning one, but also an NBA Finals MVP despite losing the series. I’m sure someone sees losing 8 as a negative, but every other team each year lost earlier except Boston and New York for those years. Jordan is 6 for 15, not 6/6. Brady was 7 for 22, not 7 for 10. Still the best those two.

Would have been pretty cool if he would have finished top two in steals, the first year steals counted. It would have definitely left us wondering about his late discovered talent.

I wish West would have had a few 91%+ FT seasons.
