JERRY WEST

                              MR. CLUTCH

  Nineteen thirty eight, born to a family, this  West 
  Virginia boy,


  Jerry West would one day be one of the greatest ever.



  His father was a coal mine worker, abuse and pain,



  A shotgun under his bed, in fear that he may be hurt again.



  East bank  high school, West Virginia university, Zeke from 
  Cabin Creek,


  Nicknamed Mr. Clutch, famous buzzer beating, sixty foot 
  Shot,


  Game three of the nineteen seventy NBA finals against the 
  Knicks.


  Fourteen straight all star appearances for this great Lakers star,



 The NBA logo, his silhouette, "Mr. outside" his great 
  Perimeter play.


  Purple gold uniform worn by a man, down the floor, game 
  after game,


 A nineteen seventy two, thirty three game win streak, and a 
 ring.


  Many records set from college to the pros, a hall of fame 
  Player, Jerry West.
