Jerry West is immortalized as the silhouette on the NBA logo--a singular honor that speaks to his towering impact on basketball and American sports culture. A Hall of Famer as a player and executive, West's achievements span every level of the game over the course of his 60+ year career. On the court, West was a 14-time All-Star, Olympic Gold Medalist, and NBA Champion. Following his illustrious playing career, West's success continued as a visionary executive who architected both the "Showtime" Lakers of the 80s and the Shaq/Kobe Lakers of the early 2000s, then went on to contribute to the success of the modern Golden State Warriors. West was a mentor and guiding force for generations of young basketball stars, touching countless lives with his wisdom and counsel. Yet, for all his success, winning was never enough for Jerry West. Behind the triumphs lay tremendous personal cost. Jerry West: The Logo examines the price of greatness and the man who paid it, as the notoriously private and enigmatic West opens up with rare candor about his private struggles with depression, the marriage that crumbled under the weight of his obsession, his complicated relationship with fatherhood, and the persistent feeling of being an outsider even as he achieved what others only dream of.
