Best Answer

Yes he did. Jerry West won an NBA championship in 1972 with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers defeated the New York Knickerbockers 4 games to 1 in the 1972 NBA finals.

He helped lead his team during the 1971-72 season, with 25.8 PPG, 9.7 APG and 4.2 RPG.

West finally won an NBA championship in 1972, after losing in the NBA finals 7 times previous to 1972 (and once the following year).

Can you play in both leagues and win the batting title?

Yes. To win a league batting title, a player must have a minimum of 502 plate appearances. If a player has 502 or more plate appearances when he is traded to the other league and winds up in 1st place in batting average for the league he was traded from, he is awarded the league title. To win an MLB (both leagues) batting title, a player must have a minimum of 502 plate appearances combined in both leagues.
