Until that point, I knew West as a basketball savant, a living legend, an avatar of Lakers excellence, the rare superstar player who’d become a superstar executive, universally respected and admired. He was Mr. Clutch. He was the Logo, as in the actual NBA logo (even if the league has denied it for decades). I knew he could be passionate, intimidating, generous, thoughtful, empathetic, gossipy, sweet, cantankerous, sometimes defensive, and oddly insecure. But the burden of being Jerry West never really struck me until that moment.

West, who died Wednesday at age 86, enjoyed more success than 99 percent of the players, coaches, and executives who have ever passed through the NBA. It was the enjoyment part that seemed hardest, though. No number of victories or banners or free-agent coups would ever sate him. He heard criticism more loudly than he heard praise. It was as if being the Logo required a level of perfection he could never attain. It was as if all the heartbreak he endured as a player—one title against nine defeats in the Finals—left him so scarred that he forever expected the worst.

So no, West couldn’t bear to watch any of the 2000 Finals in person, and eventually couldn’t bear to be around at all. Two months after the Lakers won that title, West would leave the franchise—without a press conference or formal farewell or any specific explanation. But as his longtime friend (and Lakers broadcaster) Chick Hearn would say that day, “He feels the pressures are tearing him down physically as well as mentally.” We would hear he felt underappreciated. We would hear he was upset about Jackson dating Buss’s daughter Jeanie, then a team executive. We would find out later about a heart issue.
