Well wishes to the family of Jerry West, who passed away at the age of 86 the day before this episode of Beef History published. This video was conceived and produced while West was still alive, but we hope it's helpful in contextualizing West's brilliant career and the end of his relationship with the Lakers. Rest in peace, Jerry.

Jerry West is an absolute legend and despite his beef with the lakers he died before having to see another Celtics title. A true laker till the end. RIP Logo
-
It says a lot that the Clippers provided more Jerry West tribute posts on social media than the Lakers
-
RIP to The Logo, but you have to applaud him saying "I'd rather wrap it all up than watch the Celtics win another."
-
Jerry West may not be the greatest Laker ever, but he’s the most important Laker ever.
-
It's an absolute shame how the Buss family, especially the children mis-treated a man who built 2 dynasties for the Lakers.
-
Lakers fans are rightfully calling out their organization for their quick, 5 word “tribute” to him. Even the Celtics gave a meaningful Bill Russell quote about their friendship 😢 RIP Mr. West
-
Oldest story in human history. A man builds an empire with grit, hard work, and talent. Naturally, he dies. Spoiled kids destroy everything he built. The Lakers we know and love is dead and buried after Jerry Buss and Jerry West. RIP to both legends.
-
Putting LeBron on her top 5 Lakers instead of Jerry West is just spiteful.
-
Can’t believe they left out the Gasol for Kwame trade. Kobe asked for his help and he gave it to them, literally.
-
Insane timing with this video RIP Jerry West, an absolute legend and icon
-
Can we talk about how badly the lakers have been run since 2013? Jeanie Buss has successfully alienated their greatest gm and one of their greatest players, as well as debatably their best player in Magic. It’s disgusting how they treat legends who built up the franchise
-
The only player to win FMVP without winning the chip. A true competitor. RIP Logo!
-
Dropping this right after the Lakers put out that flash card statement for him, smart.
-
Jeanie leaving out Jerry West in her top 5 laker players is just absolutely ridiculous.
-
West was literally the glue keeping the Lakers together. The Buss family fell into success
-
What a way to honour a Lakers legend by talking about his history and legacy with his team. RIP To The Logo, Jerry West!
-
As a Lakers Fan I wasn't that aware of how deep and toxic the beef had gotten. It's so tragic because the Lakers franchise owes Jerry West for so much of their historic dominance. R.I.P to an O.G, a forward thinker, a Legend, he seemed like a great man.
-
Lakers really embody the West Coast ‘Nice but Not Kind’ energy. If they were anywhere else but LA Jeanie would’ve been forced to sell the team by now.

Don't disrespect the LEGEND.... THE LOGO. TRULY UNDERRATED... 26 a game... All from deep... No 3 point line... Not to mention the GREATEST sports executive in any era...
