Seriously though how come Jerry West gets a pass?

[Akhenaten]

I dont get it

[Ca$H]

I dont get it

Because he is white.

[Dr Hawk]

Get a pass for what? For being what of the best players of all-time? He is ahead Kobe, or at least really close ot him

[dhsilv]

I dont get it

he played before fans iq'd dropped into the negative levels and a guy who makes the finals and loses gets a bigger ding than someone who misses the playoffs all together.

Jerry West called Kobe a top 5-10 GOAT.

Jerry West called Kobe a top 5-10 GOAT.

And I call Kobe a Top10 goat while West is Top10-12

For what, averaging 30.5/5/5.6 over nine finals (55 games)?

West's FMVP was for 37.9 with 7.4 assists on 49% shooting against the Celtics.

That's like Curry over his best 7 game stretch, but without a three point line.

That's like john stockton numbers after you adjust for pace....honestly NEVER post per game stats from that era.

[StephHamann]

Are you seriuosly comparing him with Stockton? What is wrong with you?

1969 series averages:

Boston 105.9 ppg
Lakers: 106.3 ppg

So not that high of a scoring affair.

[Harison]

Jerry West consistently had one of the best performances in the Finals of All-time. There was nothing else he or anyone else could have done in his place.

[Nuff Said]

He actually was hands down the best player on the floor even on a losing team. There's literally nothing you can argue about a guy who convincingly wins fmvp while losing. Lebron came damn close to it and it would've really boosted his legacy tremendously if he could've pulled that off.

somewhat fair i suppose, still a much faster pace than we generally see today in the playoffs.

Golden State would play at that place if the opposing team thought they could keep up.
