Lakers HBO Max show

[JordanwiththeWiz]

Norm Nixon: what make this nikka so magical?

Norm Nixon: Where you from, you from Ohio?

Magic: I’m from Lansing, Michigan.

Norm Nixon: Oh you one of them country ass nikkas.

When the old Lakers owner Cooke was calling Magic a thoroughbred and boy.

Jerry Buss sitting next to me like chill out.
You can tell this show gonna be great.

I never heard that Norm Nixon embarrassed Magic in public pre-draft, either, correct me if I'm wrong. They took a whole lot of creative liberties with this one, which is typical for shows like this.

It definitely had a warning about that in the beginning. I imagine that there’s gonna be certain stuff changed for better or worse to protect privacy. I hope they aren’t caricaturing Logo on the show too but I don’t know enough about them Showtime days to know if Logo was that aggy. The casting was perfect tho….

My favorite part is how anytime they would use those trigger words to describe Bird, "WHITE" would come across the screen.

That shyt had me rolling.

They did a damn good job of making John C look like Dr. Buss.

Jerry himself will tell you he was a miserable fukk. But they gotta be gassing it on the show. Aint no way he that bad

 

[puggle]

The guy playing Magic is good, impressive for a newcomer. Whole show would have fell apart if he sucked.

 

[MurderToCassette]

They got Logo breaking golf clubs, smashing his MVP trophy, and having Vietnam flashbacks of Finals losses

This shyt is gold

C/s... its all thru his Book too,them Finals L's can weigh a lot on a Man

When we won in 72, he was pissed because it wasn't the Celtics. Clutch was a different animal in his prime. Don't let the mild mannered old man who absolutely loved Bean fool you.

the amount of drama and exaggeration they inputting in this shyt is so blatant though.

but it makes for good tv.

Reilly killing it as Dr Buss

And that nikka they got playing Earv....might need to check and see if that ain't a side kid of his. That's one hell of a casting. He can EASILY pass for his 3rd son.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Holy shyt this is the real Jerry West

Jerry suffers from bad depression. U can tell in his interviews he's a moody fukk. Im sure they overdid it tho with the portrayal.

Naw I knew he suffered from depression but they got him as a flat out maniac in this shyt

He always seemed so mild mannered to me

His portrayal is surprising and incredibly entertaining he can’t be happy with this

They od'd on his portrayal clearly

 

[Tony D'Amato]

I'm old enough to remember when fed ex field was new and called Jack Jent Cooke stadium. Dude was a racists huh? No wonder he owned the Redskins

They od'd on his portrayal clearly

I need that to be confirmed by ppl who worked with him. I can see him being a psycho. Especially when he was young

JKK was definitely on dat

But they already indicated before the credits for the intro came on that they would be juicing shyt up for drama purposes

Might peep the book this show is based on though
