RIP Legend. He is the original concept of a guy to rely on when it comes to crunch time. Yeah there was been many players who does it like MJ among others but Mr. West is the OG one.

SO VERY LUCKY AND FORTUNATE TO WITNESS THEY ARE STILL ALIVE...

My grandpas favorite player. If they recorded steals throughout his career he may have had more than Stockton. If you watch the YouTube video of the 1972 all-star game, he records 6 steals and almost gets a few more with all-star game minutes. If you listen, you will hear one of the announcers with Bill Russell say that West was averaging just under 10 steals a game for the Lakers that season. An unofficial stat, but I believe it after watching that game. I can only imagine the ball hawk he was when he was younger than that.

There's a reason why he's called mr. Clutch and one of the greatest Lakers ever period.

[khaitranngoc]

It is either him or Larry Bird for the title of best NBA employee ever (player, coach, GM)

[rumbajuice]

If he was playing today, they would call him Jerry Buckets.
