Jerry West earned the nickname "Mr. Clutch" due to his remarkable ability to deliver in high-pressure situations, especially in the closing moments of games.

West's silhouette is famously used in the NBA logo. Designed by Alan Siegel in 1969, it remains one of the most recognizable sports logos worldwide.

In Game 3 of the 1970 NBA Finals against the New York Knicks, West made a legendary 60-foot shot to send the game into overtime, showcasing his exceptional shooting ability.

West often faced heartbreak against the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, losing to them six times during his career.

While known for his scoring, West was also a superb defender, being named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team four times and the Second Team once.

West was one of the first guards to excel at recording triple-doubles, a rare feat during his era, demonstrating his all-around game.

Hall of Fame: West was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1980, solidifying his legacy as one of the game's greats.
