Nickname:
Some sportswriters called him “Zeke” because it rhymed with his hometown, as in “Zeke From Cabin Creek.” It was a futile attempt at comedy, a failed experiment with wit, a dig at his proud heritage. Jerry West did not like the nickname. But he played during the heyday of Lil’ Abner, the Beverly Hillbillies and Hee Haw.

“He had not been doing well for the last year. It’s a very sad day,” West told USA TODAY Sports. “Forget him as a player. He was a great, great player and a better teammate.”
