About this product

Product Information

He is one of basketball's towering figures: "Mr. Clutch," who mesmerized his opponents and fans. The coach who began the Lakers' resurgence in the 1970s. The general manager who helped bring "Showtime" to Los Angeles, creating a championship-winning force that continues to this day. Now, for the first time, the legendary Jerry West tells his story-from his tough childhood in West Virginia, to his unbelievable college success at West Virginia University, his 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his relationships with NBA legends like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant. Unsparing in its self-assessment and honesty, West by West is far more than a sports memoir: it is a profound confession and a magnificent inspiration.

"Apart from being an unquestionably successful, uncommonly admired human being, Jerry West...is a man traveling with a lot of demons. Pick up a copy of this brutally candid account of his life and you will understand him quite a bit better."-- Mike Downey , Los Angeles Times, If West's star is among the brightest in the NBA firmament, the dark side of his success, told with startling candor, is almost too painful to learn. But fans of the game will want to understand what made Jerry West run., Hardcore fans will relish West's reflections on the game that has obsessed him, stories about teammates and opposing players and his selections for an all-time Dream Game...In a genre notorious for merely waving pompoms, West offers an unusually candid account of his personal and professional life., I have just read Jerry West's memoir, West by West and it's a great read. This is a very insightful book about one the greatest basketball players and minds that has ever been involved the game. You can finally get to understand the man from the inside of his life and not have to guess what was going on in his head. He's very forthcoming and candid about all of the ups and downs of his whole life -not just his basketball career and he pulls no punches., Jerry West did not need to do the difficult work in healing himself that he has done in this book.....This is nothing short of amazing courage., Anyone who follows basketball knows that Jerry West was a supreme athlete and a brilliant general manager. What I did not know until reading this powerful book was just how complex he is.West by West is a rounded, honest and moving exploration not just of West's life under the arena spotlights, but his passages through his darkest hours. With remarkable clarity and courage, West explores his flaws and ghosts, his glory on the court and his struggles off. Paralyzed and haunted by his childhood, this was a superstar who, at the top of his game, could not escape the feeling that he belonged at the bottom. Few would have the courage to look so deeply into the mirror, but in this exceptional book, West has done so., "Searing...Very compelling.... It's like West taking Tony Soprano's chair in Dr. Melfi's office and explaining every detail of the most famous career in NBA player-exec history.... Like listening to Van Gogh talk about why he painted what he did."-- Tim Kawakami , The San Jose Mercury News, "West has proven to be the rarest of all-time great athletes by revealing, without a shadow of a doubt, that he's unfailingly human. His hard-scrabble origins and resulting trauma over the decades is proof that fame and fortune is no safeguard against life's trials and tribulations...the release of his autobiography...reveals an uncharacteristically personal side that bares his soul to the core."-- John Harris , Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, "Anyone who follows basketball knows that Jerry West was a supreme athlete and a brilliant general manager.

His hard-scrabble origins and resulting trauma over the decades is proof that fame and fortune is no safeguard against life's trials and tribulations...the release of his autobiography...reveals an uncharacteristically personal side that bares his soul to the core., "His silhouette image has long been the NBA's logo-a fitting symbol for a revered, enigmatic, and deeply private sports icon. But in this book, with unflinching candor and in remarkable detail, Jerry West emerges proudly and boldly from the shadows of his own life."-- James S. Hirsch , author of Willie Mays: The Life, the Legend, His silhouette image has long been the NBA's logo-a fitting symbol for a revered, enigmatic, and deeply private sports icon. But in this book, with unflinching candor and in remarkable detail, Jerry West emerges proudly and boldly from the shadows of his own life., "Reads like a modern history of basketball, replete with stories of the greats."-- Ross Atkin , Christian Science Monitor, "West by West [goes] past the point where the cheers fade and sports books end to pose a question that rarely comes up: What is it all worth?"-- Mark Heisler , New York Times

    Jerry dealing with his life long demons, plus the rigurse of professional sports and expectations.

    The book was not what I expected really. It did cover the material I hoped to find along with Jerry's difficult life adventures. I had no idea. Well put together book just the same. I had no problem staying attached to the story. One of the best players !

    Great Buy!

    This was a Christmas gift for my father-in-law. It was a huge hit and he has completed the book. Being a life long resident of WV my father-in-law travelled with Jerry West and the team to its games/tournaments during that era. Great buy!
