Definately one of the All-time greats.

He was the shut down defender of the other teams leading scorer. It was always a battle between him and Walt Frazier as to who was considered the best defender. West could shoot with the best, and was known as Mr. Clutch. With players such as Chamberlain, Baylor, Goodrich and others you would have to call West the ultimate Laker. Wilt is the best of all time but West was the Laker catalyst whom Wilt adjusted his game to accomodate.
