ISBN: 9780316053495.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe is one of basketballs towering figures: \"Mr. Clutch,\" who mesmerized his opponents and fans. The coach who began the Lakers resurgence in the 1970s. The general manager who helped bring \"Showtime\" to Los Angeles, creating a championship-winning force that continues to this day.\n\nNow, for the first time, the legendary Jerry West tells his story-from his tough childhood in West Virginia, to his unbelievable college success at West Virginia University, his 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his relationships with NBA legends like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille ONeal, and Kobe Bryant. Unsparing in its self-assessment and honesty, West by West is far more than a sports memoir: it is a profound confession and a magnificent inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LITTLE, BROWN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45255310114869,"sku":"ByrdShop_031605349X","price":32.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780316053495_f9dbef2e-cc03-4f20-9020-12b3ec8547be.jpg?v=1779926430","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/west-by-west-my-charmed-tormented-life-9780316053495","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
