When the Lakers acquired Chamberlain, they lost twice in the championship. They went and hired Bill sharman, he played for the Boston Celtics, and he convinced the Lakers to do it somewhat of the Celtic way with Bill Russell, and the Lakers bite into it and 33 in a row, they lost one and then one another 14 or 15 in a row, but Jerry's the man in basketball from start to finish
Winning Times made him out to being a raging alcoholic that breaks everything in sight and yells at everything and everyone in sight and yells F*** Off at inanimate objects.
In that Nick series,if Wilt goes out and plays defense against Willis Reed,and he doesnt make those two shots,Lakers easily win. ....Bill Russel said that,and i always thought it.
"Mr. Clutch" Jerry West is one of the greatest players ever in the game.

That HBO doc was terrible man, totally off on how they portrayed West
Itâs 2024 and when I hear Nick VanExel I still think Lakers.
