David West: How Warriors big man provided spark off bench at age 37

Editor's note: The Chronicle is reviewing the season of each player after the Warriors' second straight championship run. David West's teammates have taken to calling him "Benjamin Button" because, at age 37, he was not only still playing, he got better. In his second season with Golden State, West averaged more minutes, points, rebounds and blocks than he did in 2016-17. His shooting clip of 57.1 percent was easily a career best. Hardly considered a prototypical interior defender, West was tied for 37th in the NBA with 1.03 blocks per game.
