Legend Jerry West said that basketball will overtake all the other sports.

Per NBA TV (via Slam Online), “Years ago when I came to the city of Los Angeles, we were nobody. Last page of two newspapers. Had no writers, no coverage at all.
“And to see the way this game has changed and grown, and to see the strides that have been made for people who truly were able to contribute a different way is truly remarkable.
“I want to say this. I don’t like to say things that are controversial at all. But this game is gonna overtake all the other sports.”
