It's hard to argue against Jerry West's accomplishments. He personified the Los Angeles Lakers for 14 years, making the All-Star team every season, being elected to 12 All-NBA teams and leading the team to a title in 1972.
Despite all that, Jeanie Buss doesn't consider West one of the top-5 most important Lakers of all time. Buss appeared on the "All the Smoke" podcast in April, where she included Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Phil Jackson, LeBron James and Magic Johnson on that list.
West interpreted that as a snub, calling Buss' list "one of the most offensive things I've ever heard" during a podcast with Peter Vecsey, according to CBS Los Angeles.
