Anyone for a nice giveaway contest?
With the new NBA season still hanging in the balance between the billionaires and the millionaires, The Purple And Gold Blog will dedicate the next 3 Mondays (9/26, 10/3 and 10/10) to Laker legend Jerry West to celebrate and promote his upcoming autobiography, "West By West: My Charmed, Tormented Life", and to help you fellow Laker fans go through the NBA lockout a little better.
The contest is easy. We ask a question relating to Jerry West. And if you know the answer, send it to us via e-mail at thepurpleandgoldblog@gmail.com or by filling-out the form in our Contact page above.
The FIRST one to answer the question correctly wins ONE COPY of the book.
Of course, there are some rules to the contest. See below for details.
So with no further ado, here is the first question:
Most NBA legends have a nickname. Jerry West happened to have 2 of them. What are those 2 nicknames?
Send your answer to thepurpleandgoldblog@gmail.com or through our Contact page with the Subject: WBW CONTEST 1. Again, see below for contest rules.
This week's contest ends midnight on Wednesday 9/28 (PST).
The winner will be notified on Thursday, 9/29 by midnight (PST).
To know more about "West By West: My Charmed, Tormented Life", visit their Facebook page. The book is scheduled for release Oct. 19th.
