Description

Was Jerry West actually the best player of the 1960s? In episode 7 of the top-40 career series, we discuss West's extraordinary scoring achievements, the Lakers offensive “dynasty” with him, and how he exploded in the playoffs while Oscar tended to go in the other direction. We also debate the value of Robertson's playmaking without a 3-point line, and how much per possession value these superstars of the 1960s generated compared to current players. With @codyhoudek.
