Born May 28, 1938 in Chelyan, Jerry West established 17 WVU records
and led the Mountaineers to three of its greatest seasons on the hardwood.
With a mark of 61-12 while West was a regular, West Virginia earned three
straight NCAA berths and came within two points of winning the national
championship in 1959. A second team All-American in 1958, West earned
consensus All-America honors in 1959 and 1960; he averaged 29.3 points
and 16.5 rebounds per game as a senior. After his senior season, he was
selected to play on the Pan American and Olympic teams. Co-captain of the
1960 Olympic team along with Oscar Robertson, the duo led the USA to a
5-0 record and a victory over Russia to claim the gold medal at Rome.
West entered the NBA in 1961 and spent 14 outstanding seasons with
the Los Angeles Lakers. During his NBA career, he compiled just about every
honorpossible.Anall-NBArstteamselectionseventimes,healsomadethe

single game scoring record for guards on January 17, 1962, scoring 63 points
against New York. Also an NBA record-holder for the most free throws made
in a single season in 1965-66 with 840, he led the league in scoring in 1970,
averaging 31.2 points per game.
West played in 14 all-star games, winning MVP honors in 1972. Also the

Born October 26, 1934, in Charleston, Rod Hundley was raised in the Charles-
ton pool halls and saloons. Realizing his basketball talents could get him some-
where, he applied himself enough to earn a basketball scholarship at West Virginia
University, although initially, his heart was set on North Carolina State.
As a freshman, Hundley set the freshman scoring record with 62 points against
the Ohio University plebes and averaged almost 35 points per game. It was also
during his freshman year that he learned to clown, a practice he continued for the
remainder of his career.
His routine included behind-the-back foul shots, half-court heaves, lining up in
the T formation and practicing his pitching motion -- all during the game. In the 1954
Southern Conference tournament, Hundley had an opportunity to set the tourna
-
ment scoring record with two free throws in the waning minutes of the championship
game against George Washington. With the outcome already decided in WVU’s
favor, Hundley, upon learning that he could get the record, shot two air balls. The
rstattemptwasahookshot.Thesecondwasabehind-the-backheave.
He averaged 24.5 points per game over three seasons and scored 2,180 career
points, just the fourth player in college basketball to accomplish that. “Hot Rod” set
the WVU single-game scoring record with 54 points against Furman, and still holds
seven other school marks.
NamedtoveAll-Americateamsin1957,hewastherstplayerchoseninthe
1957 NBA draft and played with the Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers from 1958-63.
Since 1971 he was a broadcaster with the Utah Jazz until his retirement in
2009, after announcing more than 3,000 NBA games. In 1994, he won the NBAs
Distinguished Broadcaster Award, a honor bestowed only twice previously. Hundley
was inducted into the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 1992 and recently
released his second book, “You Gotta Love It, Baby!” In 2003, he received the Curt
Gowdy Media Award at the NBA Hall of Fame ceremonies.
His #33 jersey number was retired by WVU in 2009, the second basketball
jersey to be retired from competition.
Hundley died on March 27, 2015 in Phoenix, Ariz.

Born May 23, 1941 in Weirton, Rod Thorn grew up in Princeton and became one
of the most prized and touted recruits to ever sign at West Virginia University. His high
school reputation was so great that the state legislature intervened in his recruitment
and declared him one of the state’s natural resources.
Also resourceful as a player from 1961-63, Thorn was one of the most honored
backcourt players in the nation during his senior season in 1963.
The 1963 Southern Conference Athlete of the Year, he was a member of two bas
-
ketball and three baseball clubs that played in NCAA tournaments at West Virginia. As
a senior he earned All-America basketball honors from the Helms Foundation, Look,
Coach & Athlete and Converse. Scoring 1,785 career points, he led the Mountaineers
in scoring, rebounding, shooting percentage and assists for two seasons and set six
records that still stand in the WVU record books.
In1964,ThornwasdraftedintherstroundbytheBaltimoreBulletsandwenton
to play with Detroit, St. Louis and Seattle during an eight year pro career. He went on

the NBA President of Basketball Operations. He was inducted into the West Virginia
Sports Hall of Fame in 1992.
