About this listen

 One of the greatest basketball players of all time finally tells—with relentless honesty—the incredible story of his life. 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.

if you've not seen the TV series Winning Time yet, I strongly recommend it!
it's because of this show that I wanted to read more about the real life people depicted in it.
loved and enjoyed aren't the right words but it's the best I can do to describe listening to this book.

Thankyou winning time.
