00:00When I picked this basketball up, it was like picking up a good look, Sean.
00:06Jerry West.
00:07One of the greatest ever played this game.
00:10Olympic gold medal.
00:1114-time All-Star.
00:14He was just another level.
00:18This dude, he was good.
00:22Beautiful jump shot.
00:23It's sweet.
00:24And it went in a lot.
00:26West, close it up.
00:29All of a sudden, I'm the general manager.
00:33One of the greatest GMs in history.
00:35It's no showtime without Jerry West.
00:37He was just a masterpiece.
00:39You could see talent.
00:40Kobe and Chad.
00:41Jerry West made all my dreams come true.
00:43Hurry, way down to five!
00:46It allowed us to have confidence that what we were building was going to work.
00:50But when people look at Jerry West's life, they would say something like, what's wrong with his life?
00:56But they don't know.
00:59When you've given your life and your heart and soul to this, there's things that you neglect.
01:05There is a real genuine humorous side to Jerry.
01:09And then there is the other side.
01:12It was very sad when he just would go into a shell and not speak for days.
01:17It was a little tough.
01:20I grew up living below the poverty line.
01:23I just felt so inferior to everyone.
01:26Those things drove him to search for an outlet.
01:31Basketball became that outlet.
01:33And it was an eye-opener.
01:37The game of basketball brought me so much.
01:40But the good times were far overshadowed by the bad times.
01:43I don't know if I can get over this.
01:45I really don't.
01:49Being able to transcend your vulnerabilities is what gives your life meaning.
01:55Jerry was a special player, special executive, friend, confidant, mentor.
02:02That's why his life was so meaningful is the impact he had on everyone else.
02:07There was this mysterious thing.
02:09Was he the logo?
02:10Was he not the logo?
02:11Never wanted to acknowledge it.
02:13There's a lot of people that could have been the logo.
02:15Nobody else deserves to be the logo.
02:17Doesn't matter who wins or loses.
02:20Yes, it does.
02:23Yes, it does.
02:26Yeah.
