Paula Abdul in HS while a Laker Girl?

Does that mean the other Laker girls were High Schoolers as well?

It's inaccurate. She was a college freshman when she became a Laker Girl and became the head choreographer a year later.

The look of disgust on Jeni’s face when her Dad was surrounded by the dancers . Not sure how I feel about Dr Buss. John C Reilly is killing it, you can already see the cracks in his facade. Dr Buss loved him some whores ultimately

My wife thought she looked happy, but I felt the same way.

Those dudes in the 70's/80's looked older than what they were so Wood Harris casting actually makes sense
Spencer Haywood was a fresh 30 in this picture

I thin your wife is right, she probably was happy coming to a solution helping her Dad. Looks like realization hit her right after

these niccas taking some liberties like a mug

Magic ain’t even inbound the ball in real life

I hate shyt like that. I know they’re trying to tell a story but it takes away some of the immersion when they just blatantly change shyt. Also looked like Kareem was in the huddle too.

Hard core drug use will do that to you…

They gotta appeal to a wide audience, a lot are not true fans and don’t realize what got changed or outright discarded

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Had no idea that's how Paul Westhead took over..damn

 

[OGBobbyJohnson]

Glad Jason Segal is in this..He forever good in my book off the strength of Forgetting Sarah Marshall

And he stayed for the post game interview.

This IG page is a gem..Might have to make a thread on it

It's crazy we just saw Wood Harris on the Kanye doc now he's on here playing Spencer Haywood. What a legend.

Norm Nixon da gawd

Snapbacks, hairplugs, Bigen, dreads and 1 against the grain saving a lot of cats these days. Don’t get it twisted, many young guys look just like this, they just can cover it up more. Lebron shyt been gone for over a decade.

I also find it funny that they probably did Kareem the most justice out of all the characters the Lakers had back then.

Spoiler

Loved the subtle scene of him mentioning that his agent is encouraging him to take another contract.

they got kareem really looking like a curmudgeon, which seems very accurate.

at kareem trying to be all militant when he stay with a white hoe.

i meant they really went out of their way to explain why he is the way he is. In a way they didn’t Jerry West for example.
