American athlete, one of the greatest basketball players in a career from 1960-74, a great shooter with a mind like a computer. He was drafted in the first round by the Minneapolis Lakers, who transferred to Los Angeles that same year, 1960. He became head coach of the Lakers 1976-80, general manager 1982-94 and Executive vice president 1995-98. In 1979 he was elected to Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, along with an outstanding record of promotions and awards. A stubborn, emotional man, West never gave up and was completely exhausted by the time he signed Shaq O'Neil during the Atlanta Olympics. He retired on 8/31/1998 from the Los Angeles Lakers, ending one of the greatest runs for an executive in any sport. Link to Wikipedia biography
