The NBA is in mourning this Wednesday , since it has just lost one of its greatest legends, its logo, Jerry West. Messages for him are multiplying on social networks, and LeBron James has just shared some pretty strong words with his fans.

Not all friendships are famous in the NBA, and sometimes you have to wait for drama to discover that two legends were actually very close.

For example, following the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant , many discovered that the Mamba and Michael Jordan were in fact united by a deep bond, that they truly considered each other as a mentor and a student.

The death of Jerry West this Wednesday should also serve as an eye-opener.

MJ, again, for example, hastened to release a press release to mourn the loss of the man he considered a master.

Nicolas Batum also sent him a little message of tribute, since he had the chance to rub shoulders with the Clippers’ logo.

LeBron James’ words for Jerry West

In these moments, rivalries no longer hold, especially when we are talking about such an icon.

So Jerry West may have spent his last days on earth as manager of the other Los Angeles team, but he received a beautiful message from LeBron James .

The King shared his thoughts with millions of subscribers on his X account:

I will really miss our conversations my dear friend! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family! Everlasting love Jerry! Rest in heaven my guy! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🤎

My mentor, my friend! I hope I continue to make you proud! 🥲 We miss you already

LeBron James never had the chance to work with Jerry West in building a team, and yet he considers him a mentor.

Logo was generous in his advice and supported everyone who had a chance to make history.

The league will miss his knowledge, but his impact will be eternal.

Jerry West was a mentor and friend to LeBron James, Michael Jordan and many others, which is to say he was an exceptional person. He happily shared his knowledge and wisdom while building dynasties. A legend from A to Z.
