Oct 13, 2024, 10:54 PM
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame has inducted Lakers' Michael Cooper and Jerry West as part of its 13-member class of 2024. This marks Jerry West's third induction into the Hall of Fame, a historic achievement. West, who passed away in June at the age of 86, is being honored for his contributions as a player, a member of the 1960 Olympic team, and now as an executive. His son, Jonnie West, accepted the Hall of Fame jacket and ring on his behalf and delivered a heartfelt speech. Jerry West worked with the Golden State Warriors from 2011-17, winning two titles as a member of their front office. Michael Cooper, another inductee, expressed his deep appreciation for West, calling him a friend and mentor. The ceremony also saw reflections on West's legacy from notable figures such as Isiah Thomas and Lisa Leslie.
