Throughout the 1960s, the Los Angeles Lakers were one of the elite powerhouses in the NBA, represented by none other than NBA legend Jerry West. ‘The Logo’ headlined the talent at the point guard position, continually running circles around his opponents.
While a lethal passer in the open court, West was also an intimidating scorer, accounting for a major portion of points with each game. The 1969-70 season proved to be the case, as the Lakers wreaked havoc.
Los Angeles was a major draw across the NBA, with stars in West, Elgin Baylor, and Wilt Chamberlain forming a trio that captivated many crowds.
