Just after late Jerry Buss, LA Lakers owner, caught the headlines for allegedly leaving a Hawaiian condo and a 2009 Bentley to his secret girlfriend, another former Lakers personnel is in the news and his name is "Jerry" too!
According to TMZ, the legendary Lakers guard, Jerry West, has purchased a 3000 square feet condo in the exclusive location of Mountain Gate complex on the Westside of Los Angeles for his 24-year-old son for $1.3 million. Apparently, the condo is just five minutes away from West's home.
The home has two bedrooms, two full and one half bathroom. The home features hardwood flooring, high ceilings and spectacular golf-course views through large French windows and doors. The residence also has a sleek modern kitchen, a separate dining area and living rooms. Outside, the home has lovely sitting areas with beautiful views.

Jerry west and Jerry Buss were particularly close. On the latter's demise, West said:
"This is an extremely sad day for me. As I have said many times, I have been blessed to work for Jerry Buss, the most successful owner in basketball history. His incredible commitment and desire to build a championship-caliber team that could sustain success over a long period of time has been unmatched."
"Our relationship has always been very unique; Jerry was always supportive of the many tough decisions that were made during our time together. I will particularly remember fondly our walks together during training camps, which were some of the highlights of my time working with him and the Lakers. I was blessed to have the opportunity to work for him and I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Buss family and the Lakers organization. We lost a great man today and a legend in our business," he added.
