Success has followed Jerry West everywhere he has gone. And it's not a result of good luck. He worked relentlessly at his craft to become one of the game's all-time greats. His post-playing career has seen him dabble briefly into coaching before becoming one of the most successful talent evaluators the NBA has ever seen. In his 14-year career – all with the Lakers – he was selected to play in the All-Star Game every year. He ranks sixth on the NBA's career list with 27.0 points per game. Designed to match the original style of leather basketballs when the game was first invented, this basketball is handmade by American company Leather Head Sports. It harkens to the time when fundamentals mattered most, something West built his game on. West has autographed this limited edition (44) Naismith Leather Head basketball in silver paint pen. His signature is deemed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated's Five-Step Process.
