Basketball Hall of Fame player and executive Jerry West has passed away at age 86.
West was an All-Star every year of his career and led the LA Lakers to the NBA Finals nine times, winning one title in 1971-72.
On a charmed life, a tormented life, and an accomplished life. A hall of fame player and executive, as respected a figure that sports has ever had. And yet, always searching for ways out of his own darkness.
