Despite the "Laker lore" that exists today, the Lakers were known as a team that could not win the big game. The year is 1972, and the Lakers have yet to win an NBA championship since their move to Los Angeles. Despite the great Jerry West reaching the NBA Finals numerous times, he was denied over and over again.
This video will cover the 5th game of the 1972 NBA Finals, focusing on the performance of Jerry West from a statistical standpoint (his made baskets and positive impact on the game). The video is edited to showcase the made baskets by West, as well as his rebounds, assists, and a few other components.
And yes, I am aware that the "Lakers" organization had won multiple championships by 1972. But again, they had never won a championship in the city of Los Angeles.
Enjoy!
