Re: RIP Notable Figures
Can people stop with the frickin' "vaxxed?" comments? Young people have been dying every day for millennia. I imagine his being an alcoholic has more to do with it.
Re: RIP Notable Figures
That is tragic. He has had his demons and hopefully that wasn’t what took him. He was engaged to be married and he seemed in a good place. RIP Grayson

I made the mistake of glancing at the comments. There are a lot of nut jobs out there.

Interestinly, ABC Australia Radio National lead the hourly news broadcast with an excellent obit for Walton, the second story was the landslide in PNG, followed by Gaza.

Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Re: RIP Notable Figures
Just heard the sad news. My favorite player growing up.
Funny fact, I used to sneak over to the little league field next to mine where his son played and just stare at him.
He was a rare great scorer and great shooter and his head fakes to get his defender up in the air and then shoot over him when he was on the way down was legendary. Lakers announcer Chick Hearn used to say “West put him in the popcorn machine.”
Great GM as well. Just a Laker legend.

My favorite player growing up as well and the biggest reason I became a Laker fan. Dude is one of the goats of the NBA

Re: RIP Notable Figures
Bummed about this news. I remember the phrase, zeke from cabin creek which I believe references West

Really good memorial of Jerry West by David Aldridge - "Jerry West, as a player and exec, sustained excellence during a lifetime of emotional struggle"
