1970 Topps #160 Jerry West PSA 8 – A Vintage Classic of NBA’s Logo

By 1970, Jerry West had already carved out his place as one of the greatest guards in basketball history. Known as “Mr. Clutch,” West was the embodiment of consistency, competitiveness, and calm under pressure. That year, he led the league in scoring at 31.2 points per game, earned All-Star and All-NBA First Team honors, and continued to carry the Los Angeles Lakers deep into the playoffs. Though championships were elusive at that point in his career, his excellence was undeniable—a deadly shooter, a lockdown defender, and the ultimate competitor every time he stepped on the floor.
