Remembering Jerry West: LeBron James, Michael Jordan pay respects to ‘The Logo’
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The sports world and basketball community just lost a giant.

Jerry West, who had one of the greatest careers as a player and executive in NBA history, died Wednesday morning. He was 86 years old.

Tributes to West began to pour in on social media shortly after his passing was announced. LeBron James, Adam Silver and many others in the sports world paid their respects to West, who served as the inspiration for the NBA’s logo.

Los Angeles Lakers

LeBron James

The Los Angeles Lakers star paid tribute to one of the greats that came before him in Los Angeles on Wednesday with a pair of tweets. 

“Will truly miss our convos my dear friend! My thoughts and prayers goes out to your wonderful family! Forever love Jerry! Rest in Paradise my guy!” James posted.

My mentor, My friend! Hopefully I continue to make you proud!” James posted in a follow-up tweet. “You’re already missed!”

Adam Silver

The NBA commissioner released a statement Wednesday following the news of West’s death.

“Jerry’s four decades with the Lakers also included a successful stint as a head coach and a remarkable run in the front office that cemented his reputation as one of the greatest executives in sports history,” Silver said in the statement. “He helped build eight championship teams during his tenure in the NBA – a legacy of achievement that mirrors his on-court excellence. And he will be enshrined this October into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor, becoming the first person ever inducted as both a player and a contributor.

“I valued my friendship with Jerry and the knowledge he shared with me over many years about basketball and life. On behalf of the NBA, we send out deepest condolences to Jerry’s wife, Karen, his family and his many friends in the NBA community.”

Michael Jordan

The six-time NBA champion shared how much West meant to him in a statement.

“I am so deeply saddened at the news of Jerry’s passing,” Jordan said. “He was truly a friend and a mentor. Like an older brother to me. I valued his friendship and knowledge. I always wished I could’ve played against him as a competitor, but the more I came to know him, I wished I had been his teammate. I admired his basketball insights and he and I shared many similarities to how we approached the game. He will be forever missed. My condolences to his wife, Karen, and his sons. 

“Rest in Peace, Logo.”

LA Clippers

The Clippers, whom West worked for since 2017, first announced his passing.

“Jerry West, the personification of basketball excellence and a friend to all who knew him, passed away peacefully this morning at the age of 86,” the team shared. “His wife, Karen, was by his side.”

West Virginia

Before his excellence in the NBA, West was a two-time consensus first-team All-American at West Virginia. He led the Mountaineers to the national championship game in 1959. They fell short, but West won Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four.

“West Virginia University mourns the passing of the legendary Jerry West, an iconic figure in basketball history,” the program shared in a social media post. “Forever a Mountaineer.”

Los Angeles Dodgers

As West spent his entire playing career and the majority of his tenure as an executive in Los Angeles, teams in the city shared their thoughts on the basketball icon.

“The Dodgers mourn the passing of NBA Hall of Famer and Lakers legend Jerry West, an indelible figure on the Los Angeles sports landscape for more than 60 years,” the Dodgers shared. “We send our most sincere condolences to his family and friends.”

Players who played under West offer condolences

Nick Van Exel, whom West drafted to the Lakers in 1993, and Nic Batum, whom West helped acquire in a signing with the Clippers in 2020, both took to social media to pay their respects. 

Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame

West was set to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame for the third time in 2024, this time as a contributor for his work as an executive and consultant. He was previously inducted as a player in 1980 and as part of the 1960 U.S. men’s Olympic team. 

“The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jerry West,” the Hall of Fame shared in a statement. “As a player and an executive, his profound impact on the game of basketball is matched only by his character and integrity. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends in this difficult time. His contributions to basketball will be forever memorialized at the Hall of Fame.”

Fans share favorite moments of West 

Several basketball fans also paid their respects to West on social media by resurfacing their favorite memories from The Logo. Some shared highlights from his playing days, including the iconic half-court buzzer-beater from Game 3 of the 1970 NBA Finals. Others posted the story he told of discovering Kobe Bryant following Kobe’s untimely death in 2020, as well as a revealing quote West offered of himself.
