David West

He was the AP National Player of the Year in 2003 at Xavier; He has been named an All-Star multiple times

David West is a former professional basketball player who made a significant impact in the NBA over the course of his 15-year career. Known for his toughness, leadership, and versatility, West played the power forward position and was a key contributor to several successful teams. He was drafted 18th overall by the New Orleans Hornets in the 2003 NBA Draft after a standout college career at Xavier University, where he earned multiple accolades, including being named the AP National Player of the Year in 2003. West quickly established himself as a reliable scorer and rebounder, becoming a two-time NBA All-Star during his time with the Hornets.

West's career took a pivotal turn when he joined the Indiana Pacers in 2011, where he became a veteran leader on a team that made deep playoff runs. His physical style of play and ability to hit mid-range jump shots made him a valuable asset on both ends of the court. West's leadership was instrumental in helping the Pacers reach the Eastern Conference Finals in 2013 and 2014, where they battled against LeBron James and the Miami Heat. His presence in the locker room and on the court earned him the respect of teammates and opponents alike.

In the later stages of his career, West made the decision to chase an NBA championship, signing with the San Antonio Spurs in 2015 and later with the Golden State Warriors in 2016. It was with the Warriors that West finally achieved his goal, winning back-to-back NBA championships in 2017 and 2018. Although his role was more limited in terms of minutes, West's experience and leadership were invaluable to the Warriors' success. His ability to contribute in key moments and mentor younger players solidified his legacy as a consummate professional.

After retiring from the NBA in 2018, West has remained involved in basketball and other ventures, including social activism and community work. His post-playing career has been marked by his commitment to making a positive impact off the court, particularly in areas related to education and social justice. West's legacy in the NBA is not only defined by his championships and All-Star appearances but also by his leadership, work ethic, and dedication to his teammates and community.
