When Kobe Bryant joined the Lakers, it was Jerry West's operation, and he valued Kobe's toughness and star temperament, so he traded All-Star interior Divac from the Hornets for rookie Kobe.

What was considered a huge loss at the time turned out to be a big deal, with Kobe and O'Neal winning three consecutive championships in 00-02, and after the team won the championship in 00, Jerry West hid his fame and chose to leave the team. When Kobe Bryant was isolated, Jerry West, who was an executive in the Grizzlies, sent Pau Gasol over, so Kobe Bryant won two more championships, and these two crowns also allowed Kobe Bryant to completely establish the top ten in history.

During the Warriors period, because Klay and Curry were unable to meet expectations, the Warriors thought about trading Klay, but Jerry West was forced to retire, and finally Klay stayed in the team.

Because of his reasons, the Warriors kept the splash combination, and finally won the championship in 15 years, and lost the championship in 16 years, West and the players lobbied Durant to join the Warriors, just like he lobbied O'Neal to join the Lakers, and finally Durant joined the Warriors, and the Warriors also successfully won the championship in 17 years, but after winning the championship in 17 years, West left the Warriors, he came to the Clippers, and it was because of his operation that Curry became a historical star and created a small-ball era.

During the Clippers period, he helped the team recruit Leonard and George, although the operation ability is very good, but also because of his age, he is also a little more than enough and lacked, and finally failed to lead the Clippers to success, but his contribution to the Clippers team executives is also obvious to all, today the Clippers official and team owner Ballmer made a joint statement to mourn Jerry West. "My wife calls Jerry West my basketball dad, he's been encouraging me since we worked together seven years ago, he's always made me laugh, and I'm going to miss him," Ballmer said.
