During the event known as "Jerry West Night," hosted by the Lakers in 1971, Russell expressed his sentiments towards his long-time rival, saying, "The greatest honor a man can have is the respect and friendship of his peers. You have that more than any man I know … If I could have one wish granted, it would be that you would always be happy." The letter is encapsulated "Authentic" by PSA/DNA.
