As the totemic godfather of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jerry West's relationship with the Purple and Gold Legion has fallen into the ice cellar again and again since the death of the elder Buzz, which is an open secret known to the whole league. But no one thought that this player led the Lakers to the Finals 9 times, as a management team, he single-handedly created a showtime and ok combination, even if he later went to the Grizzlies to serve, he did not forget that "in the heart of Cao Ying in Han" single-handedly promoted the old man who sent the Lakers to the Great Gasol trade, and would completely break the relationship with the Purple and Gold Army.
In an interview with the famous Sam Amik, the image was officially stated by the old man who was the symbol of the NBA: his relationship with the Lakers can no longer be reconciled, and the two sides can never go back. The reason why the logo master is so angry is that the Laker sent him a text message that he could not accept, and the last link between the two sides was blocked.
The old man told Amik that his wife received a text message from the Lakers that the lifetime tickets he held for the Lakers were canceled. At this point, West seemed very excited: "No one even dared to call me, they are so stingy, okay?" However, West still saved the Lakers the last bit of face, and the last tenderness he gave to his old club was to give the current boss Jenny Bass a little face, he declared: "Sometimes you feel abandoned." Not Jenny, but those guys were doing weird things, and they were doing weird things. ”
Jerry West's "they" refers to Jenny Bass's girlfriend, the Rambis, who, because they are trusted by Jenny, are actually powerful in the Lakers' management. Jenny trusts them very much, and the Lambis often have amazing moves, such as the previously exposed trade that wants to promote LeBron James. Although the old man tried to prove that this matter had nothing to do with Jenny, without the acquiescence of the boss, how could the Rambiss be so nose-on-the-nose? Thinking of the contribution of the Logo man to the Lakers, and looking at who is in charge of the Lakers today, it is no wonder that the purple and gold fans are sighing long and short.
This is not the first time that Jenny Bass has hurt the old man's feelings. Unlike Dr. Bass Sr., Jenny did not treat West, a hard-working three-dynasty minister, as her father did. Fast forward to 2011, and although disagreement over the OK group eventually led to West's departure from Memphis, The Old Bass was still full of gratitude to the old minister, and at the unveiling ceremony of the old man's bronze statue, the old Bass emotionally said: "How many people can get the honor of the statue commemoration?" Jerry is definitely such an outstanding person. However, Jenny Bass did not take the opportunity to free up with West.
When West left warrior management in the summer of 2017 and publicly showed favor to the Lakers, the Purple and Gold were completely unmoved. Disheartened, the old man can only choose to join another team in the City of Angels, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Lakers' city rival. When the words spoken in West's voice recruiting Leonard because of disappointment with the Lakers were exposed, the contradictions between the old man and the Lakers became apparent and seemed irreconcilable.
When Jenny Bass was interviewed about the most important five in Lakers history as Kobe, James, Magic, Tiangou Abdul-Jabbar and her ex-boyfriend "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, the contradiction between the Lakers and West was pushed to a climax again. The old man said bluntly that "this is the most offensive time in my life"
The Lakers have made great achievements for this team in their lifetime. As West said, "I'm not sure the Lakers could have achieved such an achievement without me", if it were not for the Lakers godfather, perhaps the Lakers would not have been able to win the 17 O'Brien Cup in history. The historical sedimentation of the Purple and Gold Legion will shrink by at least half. This time Jenny Bass was really wrong, maybe not her intention, but realizing the seriousness of the problem, she should at least say something, and use practical actions to win back the hearts of the three old ministers. Instead of letting things go unchecked, chilling the hearts of old fans.
