Michael Cooper is a great host. He asks great questions and then lets the guest speak. This was a great interview.

[@sportvideofootage]

i wish all of us at 83 age will have such a bright mind

[@RemoWilliams1227]

Amen

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

What a gift Mr. West was to the league, to the Lakers and to us all.

[@joseyeastwood]

Michael is so lucky if i was blessed to know Jerry i would probably call him everyday.

[@nasifw]

Coop! One of my all time favourite players and now one of my favourite hosts on a great show. keep up the great work Coop! luv it!

[@jingqi9106]

I had the opportunity to see Jerry play and he was a scoring machine! Mr Clutch was also a great passer and defender so he's one of the greatest players of all-time. He isn't the Logo for nuthin.

[@jc8793-b8r]

When I was a kid he was always a player who I would look up to and thought was a great player and person and I was from Chicago. Thank you and he is still a great person

[@ethanennis8]

Next time you get Mr. West on, can you ask him about the 1973 Lakers and how the team compared to the 1972 team, because I know he injured both of his hamstrings, and wondered if he thought that team was nearly as good as the year before. Thanks Coop!

[@RemoWilliams1227]

Good question

[@southwest1988]

The more I listen to Jerry the more I love this man thanks Coop !!! This is fact, todays nba don’t call offensive violations it’s comedy 😂😂😂

[@randallchan2001]

Jerry West is really a great player,coach, & general manager for the Lakers 🏀💛💜 He can still coach in the NBA if he still wants to coach 🏀💛💜 Great Video with Michael Cooper 🏀💛💜

[@EKTELESTES]

"Delay dribbles....etc....that's a carry" !! Thank you, Jerry!!!

[@andrewbaumgarten2484]

Hey Coop, remember me Andy The Lakers fan from New York. You are great on these, Jerry is the man. Hope we can connect. Best always, Andy

[@bernardreinhart6828]

Guys, that was a fantastic interview!

[@vicc7409]

I was hoping Coop asked about Chick. I think he and West are primarily responsible for the Lakers’ long term success.

[@bestavatar8986]

5:40 would have loved to hear what he was about to say.

[@alanfortune3092]

I've heard many interviews with Jerry West and the two things that are a constant for him...
He is humble beyond reproach and extremely diplomatic in discussing individuals...
Good interview with Mr. West, Michael!

[@awanders1awanders194]

great interview! Mr. West is one of the greatest GM, Player, and individuals of our time. He a very successfully individual and knows the game inside out. I recommend read is autobiography and you will have even more of insight of this great laker and person.
