I grew up when he was the talk of the sports pages during basketball season. I rather idolized him, though I knew from a fairly early age I was never going to be good at basketball. Nevertheless, I always liked and admired him. He truly was one of a kind and contributed so much to basketball, not just as a player, but in many facets.
RIP, Mr. West, and thank you for sharing your myriad talents for so long. Condolences to your family, friends, fans and loved ones.
Just for the younger set, here is a link of a write up of his many contributions to the game of basketball. You can choose any source you like. They all have nothing but respect and appreciation for the man and his accomplishments and contributions.
He was definitely one of Baseball's greatest players. RIP Sir.

By name, I could not place her. This short, compiled by TCM, refreshed my memory. RIP Ms. Paige and thanks for sharing your talents.

M*A*S*H is the first role in which I remember seeing him, and one movie that seems to pass lots of folks’ radar is “Max Dugan Returns.” He has a supporting role in this wonderful movie, which stars Jason Robards and Marsha Mason (and a very young Matthew Broderick).
Mr. Sutherland’s career was long, varied and distinguished, but no matter the role, he took it and ran with it. He’ll definitely be missed.
