SEATTLE, June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — “I am deeply saddened to hear the news about the passing of NBA Legend Jerry West. In addition to being a foundational pillar of the NBA fraternity, Jerry was a longtime personal friend of over sixty years. We entered the NBA together as rookies in 1960 following our first meeting in the East-West College All-Star Game at Madison Square Garden where we shared Co-MVP honors,” said Lenny Wilkens. “Jerry was an exceptionally skillful player, a magnificent team executive and a phenomenal ambassador for the game of basketball. I will miss him dearly and I wish the best to his wife and family.”
