FOCO released a new bobblehead of Los Angeles Lakers legend Jerry West as part of their legendary number series.
The bobblehead depicts West in the traditional home Lakers uniform and in an action pose of dribbling. That of course has become the image used for the famed NBA logo for several decades.
