While both Deron Williams and Jason Williams are both NBA point guards worthy of notoriety, they can't top the contributions that 'Mr. Clutch' Jerry West has instilled throughout his career as NBA player and front office executive in the league. There's no denying the man that is the living embodiment of the NBA logo. The 6'2 point guard, born in Chelyan, West Virginia played three years of collegiate basketball at the University of West Virginia before being drafted 2nd overall by the Minneapolis Lakers in 1960 NBA Draft.
From there he went on to lead the Lakers to an NBA Championship in 1970 and he's the only NBA player to be named NBA Finals MVP after losing the series in 1967. Mr. West also notched a total of fourteen NBA All-Star honors and ten All-NBA First Team roster spots throughout his fourteen-year long NBA career. He's also quite the NBA executive, he's helped the Lakers win a total of six NBA Championships as a talent scout and general manager and he even set up the current Golden State Warriors dynasty up for success.
