Wow was this emotional! Fine job by everybody.
My “relationship” with Jerry West. As a kid in New Jersey, our favorite entertainment was my dad taking us to Harlem Globetrotter games. They had this “point guard” … what was his name; oh yeah Wilt. I saw him live several times. I “followed” him into the NBA.
I thought he’d be my favorite player for ever; but Jerry West “ruined” that. In a time of tremendous racism, the moment I saw his excellent bi-racial harmony with Elgin Baylor and their basically equal skill level - I became a Laker fan for life; and my two favorite players have remained West and Baylor.
And in Their honor, I dedicated my entire adult life to the fight for Justice in this world. (I worked 40 volunteer hours a week for 10 years to help end the US slaughter of 2-3 million innocents in Vietnam (among several other causes).
Later, I “met” Wilt at the San Diego Sports Arena at a game. It was half-time, I was walking up the stairs and he was there in an aisle seat. He was almost as tall as me seated as I was standing.
I couldn’t get a word out! He smiled at me with such compassion.
Btw, I SWORE I’d never “embarrass” myself like that again. But a few years later, on a jog thru Balboa Park in San Diego, I almost collided with this giant redhead on a bicycle he dwarfed. It was Bill Walton. Again I froze.
Do I get an “award” for being the world’s biggest fool?

He’s generations before us and he’s white so he won’t ever be fairly rated for his basketball acumen. He was the best player in the league outside of Russell and wilt. He’s better than dr j or oscar.

He died because he didnt want to see the Celtics win the champ
