He took those qualities to West Virginia University, where the Mountaineers program gave him the stage to become one of the most celebrated college players of his era and the consensus evaluation of the best overall player available in the 1960 NBA Draft.

His combination of scoring, playmaking, defensive intensity, and clutch performance in high-pressure moments gave the Lakers a guard whose individual brilliance could carry games that the team needed carried and whose presence in the lineup demanded defensive attention that created opportunities for his teammates. He scored 25,192 points in his NBA career. He won an NBA championship in 1972.

His 1969 NBA Finals performance was so extraordinary that the writers who voted on the Finals MVP Award gave it to Jerry West despite the Lakers losing to the Boston Celtics — the only time in the history of the award that the Finals MVP has been given to a player on the losing team.

He did not receive formal recognition of this fact for decades, but the basketball world has understood for most of that time that the man whose outline defines what the game looks like was a West Virginia boy who became a Los Angeles Laker and who played the game at a level that the logo appropriately represents.
