Count me as one who thinks that despite being a very good basketball mind (was a good GM and for last few years a good consultant), he is also insanely overrated. Gets way too much credit for the Lakers' 80's run. The bulk of the front office credit for the 80's Lakers should go to Bill Sharman. West did a nice job of maintaining it.

Shaquille O'Neal from Orlando, Kevin Durant from OKC, and now Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. He's been doing this for decades with various teams, Lakers, Warriors and now Clippers. He's probably a better executive than he was a player, which boggles the mind. The Clippers are now the best team in the NBA and those clueless dullards currently running the Lakers got pwned by one of their own.
