Jerry West is the Greatest NBA Executive of All Time and it's Not Even Close

Jerry West may have just pulled off two of the biggest heists of this year's NBA offseason within minutes of each other. In what seemed like a two-horse race between the Lakers and the Raptors, West snatched Kawhi Leonard and signed him to a four-year deal. Minutes later, he struck a deal out of nowhere with Oklahoma City to acquire superstar Paul George.

That's great, but his resume goes back even further -- way further, actually. And he's been making moves like this since he broke into the league. In fact, Jerry West owns the best resume for an executive in league history.

No matter where he was, he left his mark. Whether it was trading an average starter for a future top player in NBA history, bringing in huge name free agents, or winning rings in bunches, success has been the product of wherever Jerry West has gone.

For most other executives, pulling off moves for Kawhi and Paul George in one night would be considered one of the biggest moves of his or her entire career.

For West, it's just another bullet point on a laundry list of league-changing moves.
