Non-Fiction Memoir
He is one of basketball's towering figures: "Mr. Clutch,"
who mesmerized his opponents and fans. The coach who began
the Lakers' resurgence in the 1970s. The general manager who
helped bring "Showtime" to Los Angeles, creating a
championship-winning force that continues to this day. Now, for the first time, the legendary Jerry West tells his
story-from his tough childhood in West Virginia, to his
unbelievable college success at West Virginia University,
his 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his
relationships with NBA legends like Bill Russell, Wilt
Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille
O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant. Unsparing in its self-assessment
and honesty, WEST BY WEST is far more than a sports memoir:
it is a profound confession and a magnificent inspiration.
