The Logo, as he would come to be known in the NBA, was one of the most prolific scorers at every level of basketball. Jerry West scored 25 or more points in eight straight tournament games, a streak unmatched in history. His 160 points in 1959 rank fifth for a single tournament all time, and West left West Virginia with the NCAA record for most tournament points all time.
