Legends of the Game: Rick Barry & Jerry West
Description
These two scoring icons are the perfect comparison for this Legends of the Game episode. Jerry West and Rick Barry dominated opponents with their prolific scoring ability in the 1960's and 1970's. We compare these offensive juggernauts, starting with their unique upbringing and college journeys. Lucas, Uriah, Ben, and Maurice offer insight into their impressive scoring numbers and accolades. They also go back in time to reveal key teammates who helped Barry and West win an NBA title during their era.
How did they get their nicknames? Which player practiced shooting in the snow with gloves and who had legal battles with the NBA over a contract dispute? Which future Hall of Fame coaches did these two NBA greats play with during their careers? We answer these questions, and tons more, in this comparison episode of NBA stars, Jerry West and Rick Barry.
