After working for the Lakers for 40 years, West's relationship with the team splintered beyond repair. "I almost wish," he told ESPN, "that I had never played or worked for them."
It’s clear the Lakers management did not make kind choices or caring ones towards West especially after Jerry Buss died. At the same time, it’s also clear that at a certain point you can live your life or you can rue it, and there’s a longstanding pattern of West having a difficult time with his demons. In the end he lived a remarkable life and was a hero to fans leaguewide.
