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.

Soccer!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport is figure skating - and yes that's a sport in my mind :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite sport is volleyball. I played it from Junior high through college, and still play on a local league in a nearby city (with my fellow stay-at-home moms; all retired volleyball all-stars haha). However, I LOVE watching both basketball and baseball (Go Brewers!). My fiance is a basketball fanatic, and I would love to win this book for him. This would be a pleasant surprise, considering I never buy him gifts because I am an at-home mom with no income. This would be an awesome gift for him for Christmas! I think he would just love it.
