West was 86 years old, and was a Los Angeles Lakers icon, having won the NBA championship as a player and is the only player ever to win a Finals MVP on the team that didn't win the Finals. He was a 14-time All-Star and 12-time All-NBA team member. He was also an 8-time champion as an executive. 

West is one of only seven players with both scoring & assist titles. Of those seven, he & LeBron James are the only ones to make an All-Defensive 1st team (West made five of them).

He was both a clutch-shooter and a dynasty-building executive as well as an unwavering ambassador of the game.

The NBA has a huge void with the passing of the legendary Jerry West.

RIP.
