00:00When I picked this basketball up, it was like picking up a good look shot
00:06Jerry West one of the greatest ever played this game
00:10Olympic gold medal 14 time all-star
00:14He was just another level
00:18This dude, he was good
00:21Beautiful jump shot. It's sweet and it went in a lot
00:30All of a sudden, I'm the general manager
00:31One of the greatest GMs in history. It's no Showtime without Jerry West. It was just the masterpiece
00:38You could see talent Kobe and Chad Jerry West made all my dreams come true
00:46It allowed us to have confidence that what we were building was gonna 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 and then there is the other side
01:12It was very sad when he just would go into a shell and not speak for days. It was a
01:18little tough
01:20I grew up living below the poverty line. I just felt so inferior to everyone
01:26Those things drove him to search for an outlet
01:31Basketball became that outlet and it was an eye-opener
01:37The game of basketball probably so much but the good times were far overshadowed by the bad eyes
01:43I don't know if I can get over this I remember
01:48Being 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. It's the impact he had on everyone else
02:07There was this mysterious thing was he the logo was he not the logo never wanted to acknowledge
02:13There's a lot of people that could have been the logo nobody else deserves to be the logo
02:17Doesn't matter who will they lose
02:19Yes, it does
