Puzzle Description:
The NBA Logo. Trivia: Who is the man pictured in the logo?
#1: Minnie Fuerstnau (m.fuerstnau) on Mar 10, 2008 [SPOILER]
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Looking forward to the answer!#2: Craig Mellen (cmellen) on Mar 10, 2008 [SPOILER]
Well I'll give the answer now for Minnie before I forget to do it, and maybe spoil the fun of others, but it is Jerry West who played for the Los Angeles Lakers from 1960 to 1974.#3: Ga Hendrick (GaHendrick) on Mar 10, 2008
Most impressive two-color (plus the blank "color") image. I enjoyed doing it very much.#4: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Mar 10, 2008
very good quality..thanks :)#5: Gypso (Gypso) on Mar 10, 2008 [SPOILER]
Excellent image and puzzle Craig. I'm not a basketball follower but I do know the official logo. Very nicely done!#6: Deana L (ffswife) on Mar 11, 2008
What a great piece of trivia. I hadn't a clue. And to tell the truth I don't even know of Jerry West but the question is a very cool addition to the fun.
I think that Minnie should get bonus points for guessing! :D
Thanks Craig. ^>^
I didn't know who is was, but I googled and found out before I read the comments. Nice puzzle and the trivia is a great addition to the fun!#7: Minnie Fuerstnau (m.fuerstnau) on Mar 12, 2008 [SPOILER]
I remember Jerry West, (and Larry Bird, and....)- the early 70's were when I spent a lot of time watching sports with my dad. (I was going to guess Lew Alcindor but thought that was being a bit pretentious. Like saying Cassius Clay!) Thanks for the quick reply, Craig.#8: Gypso (Gypso) on Mar 12, 2008
Now I think Minnie should get 5 bonus points! :)#9: Yulia (yug) on May 19, 2008 [SPOILER]
Mr. Clutch :)#10: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Jun 8, 2008 [HINT] [SPOILER]

Very nice and not too bad to do...except the scrolling like Monkey said.#12: Merili (merilinnuke) on Aug 23, 2008
That's weird, I didn't have to scroll at all...#13: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on May 25, 2022 [SPOILER]
Great puzzle :)
I didn't have to scroll at all ... I suspect monitors are much bigger these days, and we can also control-scroll wheel to adjust the size!#14: Valerie Mates (valerie) on May 26, 2022 [SPOILER]
This is really well-done. I enjoy team logos, but this is one that gets overlooked in terms of iconic images.
(Trivia: one way people "know" it's Jerry West is, the person is dribbling with the left hand.)
99% Invisible recently did a podcast episode about who the man in the NBA logo is.

I don't know anything about sports, so it was news to me!
