Before I got into hockey, was a huge basketball fan. I remember watching West and Goodrich as the guard tandem for the Lakers waaaay back when.

RIP

Shaq's comments:

“There are certain people that you come across, and from the moment you meet them, you know that your life is changed. That is what happened the moment that I met you. And, looking back on it, it all seems so obvious now. You were deliberate and purposeful. You were kind and thoughtful. And your insights into what was going to happen to a Lakers franchise that you loved were spot on”

Meaningful words

RIP Legend!
Player legend, GM legend.

Guy built some of the greatest rosters.

Lakers did him dirty in the end.

Even worse, the Clippers made the announcement on his passing.

Dr. Buss rolling over in his grave.

Lakers have not been the same since he left. No coincidence on the success of the warriors.
