LOS ANGELES (GaeaTimes.com)- Jerry West was the guest a few days back in a television interview in a major sports network. The man who is hailed as a legend in the basketball scenario of the United States, and is certainly touted to be the best player that the country has ever seen, differed from the popular opinion, saying that the one he believes should actually get the crown is none other than Kobe Bryant, of the Los Angeles Lakers, the same team that Jerry West himself was part of. He also gave his opinion on the upcoming NBA finals, which are being held between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics.

Jerry West went on to say that he feels pretty certain that Kobe Bryant would be doing very well against the Boston Celtics in the NBA finals, citing in support of his theory the fact that he has never seen the younger player play as well as he had done in recent times. Jerry West also went on to say that Kobe Bryant has a unique ability to call the most difficult of shots, and that the way he plays makes one feel as though he can actually will the ball into the basket.

Jerry West went on to say that he, as a rule, respects and admires the Boston Celtics a lot, but that when it comes to a game, he would definitely be supporting the Los Angeles Lakers. He also refuted the common opinion that the Lakers are, by nature, one of the most arrogant teams, saying that what comes off as arrogance is, actually, their confidence.
