I was at a Lakers game when Jerry West was about fifty.
Dummies claim he couldn't shoot the three, because they didn't have it when he played. I watched that man, years after he'd retired, shoot twenty threes in a row before a game. He had a ball boy, and the ball boy had to chase down a couple balls ... but most of them not only dropped through the net, they rolled right back to him.
Recent losses in the #Sports world have been extremely difficult to accept.
First, #BillWalton. Then #JerryWest and now we just lost one of the greatest #Baseball players ever. #WillieMays has passed away at the age of 93. Sending healing thoughts to each family.๐ฏ
