hear the news about the passing of NBA Legend Jerry West. In

meeting in the East-West College All-Star Game at Madison Square
Garden where we shared Co-MVP honors,” said Lenny Wilkens. “Jerry was an exceptionally
skillful player, a magnificent team executive and a phenomenal
ambassador for the game of basketball. I will miss him dearly and I
wish the best to his wife and family.”
