The NBA's logo is indeed Jerry West.
Jerry Dior created the MLB logo from a mishmash of players. For the longest time, the rumor was that it was Harmon Killebrew. Harmon is not the model for the MLB logo, but he is the model for the logo of the Major League Baseball Players Association.

Sculptor Frank Eliscu asked his high school friend Ed Smith to pose as the model for the Hiesman Trophy. Ed was the fullback at NYU in 1935 and played pro football in 1936 and 1937. He never knew he was modeling for the Hiesman Trophy. In 1985, the New York Athletic Club presented Ed with his own Hiesman Trophy.
