John Wooden was an unbelievably successful man coaching any kind of team. He’s probably one of the most unique men I’ve ever been around in my life. I’ve never been around someone that I have as much respect for as John Wooden. He is the salt of the earth, the brightest man I’ve ever been around in terms of knowledge of everything. His memory is just remarkable and I think over the years as a lot of people have who have interacted with him, I have such tremendous respect for him that I can’t even tell you. Hall of Famer Jerry West on the Dan Patrick Show, talking about John Wooden. He also speaks about Lew Alcindor/Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the interview. If you keep listening, there is also a combative interview with former USC coach Tim Floyd. The West segment is several minutes into the segment.
