West’s Dunk
It’s probably a rare video that you’ve never seen before
At a time when dunks were vulgar, a 6-2 188-tall white guard used to put dunks like that in a game
Jerry West is
Wingspan 6-9, Max Vertical Jumps Over 90 Centimeters
He’s a white player
Max Vertical Rich is 114
He’s also 16 inches above the rim. Note Wade – 17-18 inches
West’s Finger Roll
One of West’s most stable offensive weapons, which mastered all the shots, including hook shots and plotters, was the finger roll
Despite his small stature, he would often score finger rolls over Bill Russell or Chamberlain
Depending on the position of the opposing defenders, he broke through and threw freely with a jump hook
Steele of West
Jerry West was a genius at Steel
If Steele had been officially counted during West’s career, he would have averaged at least three career steals
Steele’s official tally began in the 1974 season when West retired
West is
Average 26 steals in retirement season
I recorded that
His stills led mainly to a swift attack, and he led the team to victory in clutch situations
Block of West
What is often overlooked when discussing Jerry West’s excellent defense is his block shot ability
He’s one of his best defense players who is said to have done 15 or 2 block shots per game
The white guard’s defense, which was ridiculously blocking black players who were faster than him, bigger than him, and had excellent jumping skills
West was also very good at recovering after the block
It wasn’t a block trying to make a highlight, it was a defense intended to just slap the ball into his team’s position
All-Defensive
The fact that he retired in 1974 and had only been on the First Team four times
If this award existed throughout the ’60s
I think it took at least 12 times for the first team alone
It makes me guess
West’s jumper
They’re playing 50 years ago, but they’re not tacky at all, they’re sophisticated jumpers
I’m going in while stepping on a flip-up jumper or Eurostep and suddenly throwing a faderway jumper
A soft shooting stroke that dribbles in front of Bill Russell and then suddenly kicks back and throws
I’m going to play like this
Career average of 27 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists
a man with a record of!
Olympic gold medal NBA championship 1 time, runner-up 8 times, top scorer 1 time, final MVP 1 time, all-NBA First Team 10 times
Jerry West, he was definitely me
