Legendary basketball figure Jerry West, known for his exceptional career as a player and executive, passed away at the age of 86. The Los Angeles Clippers confirmed his death on Wednesday morning.
West, affectionately called 'Mr. Clutch' for his remarkable late-game performances, was a three-time inductee into the Basketball Hall of Fame. He entered the Hall as a player in 1980 and was enshrined again in 2010 as a member of the 1960 U.S. Olympic Team. Later this year, he was set to be honored for a third time as a contributor.
