Michael Jordan paid tribute to Jerry West, a basketball legend, on First Take. It was announced earlier today that the man on the NBA logo died at the age of 86, with his wife around him. Numerous tributes have been sent to West,
who was a champion both on and off the court. Additionally, First Take reported on X that Jordan, 61, texted Stephen A. Smith while he was live to share his own words.
He was a reliable friend and teacher.” Somewhat like an older brother.
“I valued his friendship and understanding.” Although I always wanted to play against him, the more I got to know him, the more I wished I had been on his team.
“His basketball knowledge impressed me, and the way he and I played the game was a lot alike.”
“His wife Karen and son will miss him forever. My condolences.” Heaven’s peace, Logo.”
Regarding a video clip of the tribute, one fan said, “Wow, that’s really nice of MJ.”
In my opinion, Jerry West was the best general manager ever. Unquestionably the GOAT GM. “Rest in peace, Jerry ‘The Logo’ West,” explained someone else.
