Did 'The Last Dance' prove that Michael Jordan is the GOAT?
Absolutely:)
Hands down
I already had thought that but in all honesty this conversation is over played.. I love when they talk about mike and Lebron just tired of them being out against each other.. how about you this for an idea? Would MJ and LeBron be the be good teammates, is so who could beat them, would they go down as the best duo? It’s ok to have an opinion but man is this convo out dated by this point everyone already has an opinion and their mind isn’t going to be changed
No. MJ was the GOAT anyway. Documentary was a joy to watch though.
yep
If Jerry West says MJ is best player then best believe he's right!
Jerry has plenty of company in that regard.
I didn’t hear him call Jordan the best.
@@VeliThaDon 10:13 here listen to what he said
@The Universe Galaxy You don’t think him saying he’s the best athlete he’s ever seen in basketball equates to him saying he’s the best player? I agree it doesn’t prove anything even if he did state this.
@@VeliThaDon - please refer to interview Jerry had with TO….he will CLEARLY spell it out for you there. 🙄
We need a Jerry West doc
💯
Mr Clutch is The Logo for a reason.
That would be a painful documentary with a happy ending. I wanna watch that but I know it’s gonna hurt rewatching 8 finals losses.
West once again exhibiting vast wisdom and humility.
Agreed.
Jerry West is a walking encyclopedia of the game
Pretty much he can answer anything
LuckyMcHatchet yesss they should put him in another documentary about 2000s NBA
i wonder who jerry west top 10 list is. He literally seen all the greats play. From the 60s to the present. Which is legendary.
Jerry West was wrong about Jerry Krause you mean to tell me if the Bulls selected Olden Polynice instead of Scottie Pippen would be Watching this documentary in on our phones looking at Jerry West talk about the documentary no
@@KISS_MY_CONVERSE literally LITERALLY! While being a *LEGEND* himself!
Not being able to hear Kobe's thoughts on The Last Dance is painful.
Deeply~
But…. You can listen to him say MJ is the goat!
Kobe woulda absolutely loved it
Once this man leaves this world, the NBA better retire his number league-wide. Jerry West IS basketball. No accident that Michael Jordan's statement "I could never say I'm the GOAT, cause I've never played against the Jerry Wests, the Wilt Chamberlains..."... It wasn't false humility, its ultimate respect. World is a better place because of people like Jerry West. He's the definition of a "man's man" (like he said about MJ): thoughtfull, caring, gracious, honest and intelligent mentally and emotionally. This man is CLASS. Take notes young fellas cause they don't make them like that anymore.
Giannis Velotas 🔥
Retiring numbers league wide was such a STUPID idea. This better not catch on in the NBA or NFL.
He is the Godfather. Sports casters need the beef for story. The best players respect the game and look to add to it.
Jerry West knows basketball 🏀 and respects what MJ did for the game.
Why wait till someone leaves this world to honor them? You want to honor them do it while there here to Apreciate it.
I could listen to Mr.West speak for hours and hours. I've always valued his opinion more than any other person associated with basketball. And I'm not even old enough where I saw him in his playing days. There was just something about him that captivated me immediately.
JVinCC facts
because he is one greatest GM in NBA history that transcended from his time as a player that really know what he's doing to build contender team
This is the first time I have ever seen an interview with Jerry West and I couldn't agree more! There is just something about him, he is so charismatic
Me2
Kobe would have loved this documentary.
kkash72 yes he would have watched it every night
MJ loved Kobe. Their relationship had nothing to do with the comparison. It was like finding a kindred spirit. Wish he was here.
I'm sure Kobe watched it early release
Jerry West is awesome and everything he says about Jordan is correct!
The logo speaking facts as always
Jerry West, the LOGO of the NBA, built two dynasties with the Lakers, went to Memphis and turned a bunch of also-rans into a playoff contender, went to Golden State and built another dynasty, and is now with the Clippers on the verge of another dynastic crown.
Easily the greatest GM, Basketball Operations Consultant, Insert Whatever Administrative Title of All-Time.
If Lebron isnt the GOAT for being 3-6 Jerry West isnt top 15 for going 1-8. Sorry not sorry. Other greats had better records. So if you ARE saying West is top 15, Lebron is GOAT regardless of Finals record.
@@ChillydontCap lmfao, Lebron isnt GOAT...Jerry didnt go run and join up with his competition to win titles
@@ChillydontCap Being GOAT has different weight than being 15th. No one talks about who the 15th best player should be.
Charles Davis Lol
The Memphis turnaround is completely underrated but it might have been one of the more impressive feats
Jerry West one of the best personalities to ever play in the NBA. I love him
And one of the very best players.
Count me in too
I don’t think we have seen an athlete like in the league, EVER. The great Jerry West
William Leonard incorrect
William Leonard moving side to side is a facet
@William Leonard hes bigger. Hes not as fast as mj. He cant leap like mj. He cant move like mj. He played in a far,far far far weaker league and yet his scoring pg is 2nd to mj. If mj could have played in that era. He scores what he wants in that weak era. Wilts playoff scoring average drops 8 points a game facing the best players while mjs goes up. Every season wilt went to the playoffs his numbers went down . Feast on the weak, thats how he had great regular season stats. Can you imagine mj winning a championship without being not only the team leading scorer but the games leading scorer? That was what happened to wilt. He took a back seat offensively.
I have watched a lot of interviews about this documentary. This man Is truly the best interview I seen. He is really smart.
Man I love Jerry West. Always keeps it real. Honest, humble, and probably the most knowledgeable person on the game.
Jerry’s the only player to win Finales MVP on a losing team.
Exactly
Hope he’s doing better nowadays, he sounds good! I haven’t heard from the logo since Kobe’s passing
He looked like a parent who lost a son
And people said Kobe deserved to be the NBA logo after his passing. Sorry, love Kobe but Jerry is a legend in his own right and the logo should always be his. Imagine how disrespectful that would be to take that away from Jerry.
@@lonerunner89 Not disrespectful at all..Jerry said he didn't mind them changing the Logo to Kobe.He said he couldn't think of any one who deserved it More.. Jerry looked at Kobe like a son ..That was from Jerry West moutj himself..Ya'll chill..This is not the era of yesteryear and Jerry West who is a Legend in his own right understand that more than anything..
This doc made me miss jordan and kobe 😔
If someone like Jerry West puts you on a pedestal, as a player and a person, that’s all I need
A true legend and a Father to the modern game I hope he is blessed
Jerry is so awesome, such a gentleman and he was such a fantastic player.
As soon as I saw that he was interviewing Jerry West I knew we were going to get an opinion that matters...much respect to Jerry.
Jerry West was a great player. He was a scoring machine himself too like MJ.
When Jerry talks I listen perhaps the greatest judge of 🏀 talent such a legend
West was a great player too! He was on the Laker team with Wilt Chamberlain that won the 1971-72 NBA championship with a 33 game winning streak. The longest winning streak in NBA history. The championship Lakers that year went 69-13 in the regular season.
Jerry said a few years ago that he's never gotten over some of his 8 Finals losses, staggering for a man in his 80's. His 8 Championship wins as an Executive makes up for his 8 Losses as a player, i hope
He's in his 80s?? He looks younger than that!
@@AnHebrewChild Him, Oscar & Bill looks very good for their ages
Humility that walks and talks.
Jerry talking about how you can "walk" and "Carry" the ball in today's game is another reason Pete Maravich was the greatest ball-handler who ever lived. Just look at the films of his crossovers and don't forget THEY WERE LEGAL!!!
Yup. Traveling, double dribbling, and palming are now considered good ball handling.
I agree with you. I had Iverson and Kyrie, but Iverson's speed contributes to how bad he beat his man. And Kyrie has the best handles, but the carrying rule during Pistol's era would cause Kyrie some turnovers on penalty. Pure dribbling by the original rules makes it Pistol Pete, and he definitely is in the great shooter category as well. He was a pure point guard in the pros and didn't shoot as much as he did at LSU.
Everyone should listen to him rather than some ex football players talking about basketball.
I was just saying that. PREACH!!
What about molly?
True
Or Nick Wrong
Michael Jordan is the blueprint for this era of NBA players. His impact on the game is unmatched.
true that
Jerry West the 🐐🐐🐐
Was so hyped when it was announced that he joined the Clippers organization.
Great humble man. Stay safe Jerry!
jerry spittin straight factsss
JERRY WEST IS AWESOME
This is the most humble and at the same time most successful person in sports
Jerry west knowledge of the game is fascinating. A person who's credible in criticing the game. Listen to a man like this not nick wright or LeBron nut huggers who speak out of being fanboys instead of actual game knowledge.
Right but jerry west has said bron is the goat over mj so what now
Ulysses432 he is a troll Jerry West has said that MJ was the goat.
fanchi Kelly he just delusional. Typical bron apologist
MJ 6-6 bron 3-9 lol
Only a few real legends, J West is one of them. Appreciate him !
As a competitor hearing Jerry west talk about his failures is heartbreaking I really feel for the dude those finals loses you can tell still haunt him
I love Jerry West!! Best basketball mind ever!
He needs to stay as the logo - perfect ambassador for the sport on and off the court. As a player and as an executive.
He is like King Midas.What he touch he made into Gold..from Lakers to GSW now to Clippers.. Hope he wins again..
Man, Jerry West seems like an awesome guy. So much respect for him.
I could sit and listen to him talk all day long. Man he’s a good man.
The Logo is such a humble man. I would love to hear more about his experience.
When this man speaks you listen. Every interview I’ve seen with Jerry West I always learn somwthing new.
Purest pull up for his era, 9 NBA Finals appearances 👌🏿
Jerry West is a really humble guy. He has such a calmness when he speaks. I could listen to him for hours. You could write a whole series about his life and experiences. Someone mentioned a documentary about Jerry, that would be awesome.
Much respect for Mr. West a Legend
Jerry West and Julius Erving are the two classiest men in NBA history. Jerry West to me, seems to have the pen-ultimate American boyscout virtue. Its like he stepped out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Zeke From Cabin Creek!!
Wold class interview
Jerry showed respect for Michael, he was hounded but was smiling and chewing gum most of the time! everyone gets mad at times, he is human!
Jerry West is a legend as a player and an executive. He is THE logo and will be forever.
Jerry West aka the logo. Respect.
When the logo talks you listen
when The Logo talks, you better listen
Yupe its true..just listen & enjoy it
Jerry West: what a living legend!
physically, mentally, athletically , fundamentally and competitively ..... made him the greatest. He played both sides of the ball. He was the ultimate basketball player. I dont think any other player has had all these traits ..... the other greats all had many of these but not all. The only difference you can knock Jordan on is his qualities were his personality and how he dealt with teammates or fans socially .......
Jerry west .......Knows that in his HEART he IS AND ALWAYS will be a LAKER!
As a very long time Knick fan (66 years old) like so many others I'll never forget Jerry nailing that 63 foot shot to force OT (game 3 at the Forum) which amazingly NY won. For your youngster's, there wasn't a 3 point shot back then (1970) or LA would've taken the game and most likely the series. The Knicks & Lakers meet again in '72 & '73 , each team winning one. FYI, Phil Jackson played a large part in the Knicks second title run (1973) with strong defense, rebounding and overall agresivness. Took the Knicks 7 in 1970 but only 5 in 1973. If I recall correctly, the Knicks weren't expected to go so deep in the playoffs that year but they sucked it up and played the spring of their lives in some cases. What NY fan will ever forget the great Jerry Lucas playing like he turned back the clock 10 years much like Willie Reed!!!!!! Loved that team
Jerry West always speaks truth and facts!!
Jerry said I was the greatest, that was all the motivation I needed
Nice to see him back in the studio.
Thanks for having the LOGO!!!
this man spoke truth....a true legend
Great interview! Respect goes out to Jerry West!
I love this man...walking legend.
My new motto for life is "winning comes with a cost" . Michael Jordan
The NBA logo speaks Jerry West was amazing also
And Jerry West was phenomenal!
Please include him in future broadcasts again soon i guess as his schedule.allows
I can see why he's the logo of the NBA, class personified
Jerry West really said "Y'all ain't letting me win rings as a player? BET."
I saw Him play when he was in college, and then in the pros. If he had the ball, down a point, with 10 seconds left, you were DEAD!
I could literally listen to mr west speak for hours
The "logo" Jerry West would have been a superstar in any era of the NBA. He had great athleticism and was a great shooter and passer and had the size to match up with other guards from any era. Mr. Clutch would average 40 in todays' game.
Maybe he can avg 30 for a season Jordan is a player who can actually avg. 40
@@clydetheglidetop5sgtop10du7 Wilt average 50 in 1961!
No he couldn't. If he couldn't do it then he couldn't do it today. We that watched the brutal 80s and 90s defenses beat up on teams are amazed at mo defense being played today. Well in the 60s and 70s there wasnt any either . Plus it was a faster played pace and against more athletic players , his scoring would actually go down.
Dane Osborn you have to realize he would have all the benefits players have today including the three point line
Finally someone talking about modern day players being allowed to carry the ball - but he called that a part of the evolution of the game which I don't agree with - it gives an extremely unfair advantage to the offensive player. Carrying needs to be cleaned up fast.
After seeing Jerry speak like this about MJ, I truly wonder what he thinks of Kawhi and load management
Load management ... Not defending strategy ...saving energy strategy ...and all those thing is unrespectful to the people, public, the team, ... The colleagues have to defend 4 vs 5... No...That is not right...just in kinder or elementary school expect this behavior
He probably doesn’t think much of it
I think he was hired to do a job and the same as when he was a player, he finds a way to be the most efficient under the circumstances to deliver. If this job was to deliver a championship, I'm sure he doesn't lose sleep over load management, even though it might make him sick in his stomach. If his job was to deliver the most compelling experience to the fans - now that's a different story, you still need to factor in the thirst for a championship in the fans, but you also weight in the lack of Kawhi in some of the games where fans would expect him. This might be difficult for him, because it's logically inconsistent. Anyways, the way you remain sane in todays world is either follow someone's lead - in which case you transfer responsibility to them - ,or if it really makes you sick, you quit your job. He clearly didn't quit his, so he believes he makes the right moves. Consider load management and Rodman's couple days off in Vegas. Mr West was praising Phil Jackson on how he handled that. I don't think that he has anything against how Doc is handling Kawhi. It's really up to Kawhi, again in this interview, Mr West says that Rodman had a great work ethic and instinct - even though we know he had substance abuse and other stuff that clouded the game - if Kawhi works in practice and gives his all in games he plays, I think it would be fair in Mr West books. If Kawhi gets special treatment, and then doesn't show the heart of the champion.. now this would change Mr West mind quickly.
Jerry West refers to MJ as the best athlete ever. Jerry West said that if MJ was active today, in this era with no hand checking free to walk around the court with no defender touches him(as it happens today) he would have done unbelievable things. When Jerry West speaks everyone else keeps his mouth shut. Dedicated to the millennials who always say ....MJ couldn't stand in the modern NBA. You were blind but now you see.
I'm a millennial and I saw Jordan play or at least remember him barely after the end of the Bad Boy Pistons era and vividly remembering the second 3-peat years. Point being, his play was such that he didn't need the super teams like we have today. It's partly why I respected Kobe's play at willing his teams to victory, much like Jordan, his only issue was staying too long. Jordan, would will his teams to victory and if he's having that rare off night he made sure that other players be it Scottie or Rodman get the team on track. It's why it always fascinates me that his Hornets teams haven't improved to his level of competitiveness during his tenure as owner.
Jerry West is on my top 10 list of people I want to have dinner with
They better not ever change that logo, the isn’t just about skill it’s about character and sportsmanship and j. West embodies the best in us all
So does kobe Bryant who Jerry wants it to be changed too.
But yea Jerry west is a stand up guy. I think kobe gets the most disrespect , than Bird, than Jerry west. They were way better than the credit they get.
Mr. Clutch & Mr. First Class!
could you imagine Jerry west who was attached to the lakers said Mj is the greatest player EVER..there should be no debate on the GOAT ..the GOAT has 6 out 6 in finals...End of debate.
Great conversation, guys. I loved this.
Jerry West and Pat Riley the goats of finding talent and managing them
Jerry West is the Goat among Executives that's for sure.
Tremendous segment of your show Colin. Awesome!
Jerry was great. One of the best. Underrated by today's fans. Disagree about his Jordan take but he's one of the greatest evaluators of talent ever so his rating is powerful.
How on earth did the lakers just let this guy go to other organizations? Don't get me wrong- Im a warriors guy- so Im not moaning but damn...……...
He left and they won 5 chips enough said!
Bro...I've been asking myself since it happened. Freaking boggles the mind.
In Jack McCallum's book Golden Days. There are story how owners offered Mr. West pay cut as next deal. If i remeber it right it was -50% or something like that.
Light years ahead of rest...right
And i'm talking about Warriors, but i think same happened in LA.
@@joshkiepper7102 He traded for shaq and then traded for the rights to draft kobi. His gm footprint on those teams is a lil bit bigger than you think it is
Colin changed topic after Mr. West said "My God what we'll we see today" LOL
Jerry West greatest nba executive of all time. he may not got alot of rings playin. But, he got a lot of rings post career. And now that he's with the clippers he may get 1 or 2 more.
Wow! Jerry is amazing. Thanks!
This interview is outstanding. Love it
I love Jerry West
he dont talk like an old man
colin you might be the best interviewer in all of sports
Great interview love it!
Love listening to Jerry
Greatness.
Awesome interview! Thanks for letting him talk Colin, and you should have asked about changed logo to kobe that have been interesting
Love how much Jerry loved Kobe!
When the NBA's logo speak. We listen. This seems to be a 2 mins interview. Just enjoy listening to him. So articulate and his high admiration on MJ. I don't know why people does'nt that on Mj, he was hard only on the court on practice coz he is really comitted. But outside the court, you can see how light he was with the people around him. I think people that dislike Mike are just jealous. Or so much ego that can't accept MJ is better than him or his the GOAT
Great interview!!
Man Colin if u readin this man- my name is Leonardo from the Bahamas and i've followed u on your podcasts @ ESPN or as u say *THE OTHER PLACE*;
And u were tight then but you have just been *KILLIN IT* during this Coronavirus period man!
Every other media person woulda folded or regurgitated but the quality of guests keeps gettin better and BETTER!
Thanks Colin.
RIP KOBE ✊🏽
