On Sunday June 12,2011 at Southwest College during the 2011 L.A. Watts Summer Games many fans and players had a chance to meet the one and only Jerry West. Still being part of the community and taken time out to come down and spend time with all who had a chance to talk with him and take photos of the man who is the NBA Logo. What surprise me was how many young players was aware of Jerry West was. Players and fans wasn't camera shy as the Mayfair Girls Basketball Team and the Fairfax Girls Basketball Team  were really hamming it up during their photo shoot. Camera or cell phones were taking pictures all during the time he was there. Jerry West also spoke on how important the the L.A.Watts Summer Games are to the community and recognize all those who had put in hard work to make the games a great event.

It didn't matter who you were if you wanted to take a picture with Jerry or a autograph it wasn't a problem for him. Even Leon Burk Jr. one of the Lead Site Official responsible for getting officials and supervise 3 person  crews  for up coming officials had a chance to take a picture with the great one. This year summer games promise to be one of the best as many people really work hard to make sure that this would happen. The final weekend of the L.A. Watts Summer games will be Saturday June 18, 2011 so if you get a chance come on out and have a great time.
