Now leading 3–0 in the Finals, Boston was closer than ever to a new championship title. That’s why the announcement of Jerry West’s death a few hours ago triggered a rather strange buzz before Game 3…

By winning a third straight game against the Mavericks, the Celtics placed themselves in an extremely favorable position. No more seems to prevent them from winning an 18th championship … but the Finals are unfortunately not the only news source in the last few hours, while the NBA is in the midst of mourning after the death of the legend Jerry West, which died at 86 yesterday.

It is impossible to summarize Mr. Clutch in a few words, his silhouette has been the league’s logo for decades. However, the tributes have multiplied, including from his Lakers… even though he has been particularly controversial. Quite the opposite of another post, on the other hand, which did not fail to point out the timing of the imminent success of the Greens and Whites.
