"Jerry West was an incredible and unique individual, having accomplished immeasu
rable heights in the game of basketball. He reached the absolute pinnacle of the
sport as both a player and executive, something few can claim in the profession
. He did so much for the NBA, the game of basketball and each of the teams he wa
s associated with during his unmatched career, including the Warriors. Jerry had
a profound and immense impact on our franchise and was instrumental in our rece
nt decade of success.
Personally, as a child, despite growing up a Celtics fan in Massachusetts, Jerry
was my idol and I loved him. To me, he was basketball. He was not just about th
e actual game, but he personified competitiveness. He was the most competitive i
ndividual I have ever met, settling for nothing short of greatness. He had to wi
n. It consumed him. He was bigger than life. He was an icon.
We are devastated with today’s news of his passing and extend our prayers and s
upport to his wife, Karen, his entire family and the NBA community." - Joe Lacob

“Jerry West 是一位令人难以置信且独特的个人，他在篮球运动中取得了无法估量的成就
。他作为球员和管理者都达到了这项运动的巅峰，这是极少数人能在这个行业中做到的事情
。在他无与伦比的职业生涯中，他为NBA、篮球运动以及每支他所效力的球队，包括勇士队
，做出了巨大的贡献。Jerry 对我们的球队有着深远而巨大的影响，他对我们最近十年的成
功起到了关键作用。
对我个人来说，尽管我在麻州长大且是塞尔提克的球迷，但Jerry 是我的偶像，我爱他。对
我来说，他就是篮球。他不仅仅是篮球运动的象征，更是竞争精神的化身。他是我所见过的
最具竞争力的人，他对于胜利的渴望达到了极致。他必须要赢，这成为了他生命的一部分。
他超越了生活，他是一个偶像。
我们对今天他去世的消息感到无比悲痛，并向他的妻子 Karen、他的整个家庭以及NBA社区
表示我们的祈祷和支持。”— Joe Lacob
