Mr. Clutch: The Jerry West story

4.2/5 ( ratings)

Jerry West is the greatest paradox--and probably the greatest player--in pro basketball today. He is, in the words of Bill Libby, "too short, too this, too frail, too easily hurt to be a star in the madcap mayhem that is professional basketball. He is too modest, too nervous, too moody to take charge of a team, to stand up under the pressure of this gruelling game. A poor hillbilly kid who is authentically modest, 'sirs' strangers and is respectful even to sportswriters, he is a most unlikely athletic hero."
