Well that's my story.

At this point you shouldn't believe any of the portrayals are remotely real. Except for Larry Bird.

Larry Bird comes off as a major rear end in a top hat was that just how he acted?

Renowned trash talker but he wasn't such a taciturn prick like the show portrays him. You can tell the difference for yourself in his first actual press conference. Look, he smiles and makes jokes!

In real life he and Magic ended up becoming really good friends. I'm sure the show will cover that, just probably not the way it really happened.

Buss's mom died before he even bought the Lakers.

Yeah Wood Harris is a great actor but he'd be by far the oldest player in NBA history.

Dude playing Kareem is 43, believe it or not. He played college ball 20 years ago.

In real life the Lakers already played Boston that season at home before the road trip and Magic scored 23 in a rout. In Boston he only had 1 point.

Did Cooper actually get knocked unconscious in game six?

Nah. I watched the last 5 minutes, it was basically entirely made up, except for Nixon getting a steal, but it wasn't off an inbound.

Also the commish didn't call Buss "Dr." when he presented the trophy, and there wasn't an MVP trophy.

I didn�t realize they were that bad in 78-79. There are three other Hall of Famers on that team but I guess they were all past their prime.

Looks like there was a bunch of ownership/front office drama that led to an incredibly thin roster. But hey, it got them Kevin McHale in the draft.

Whenever Riley is on screen, show good.
Whenever Magic calls his girlfriend, show bad.

Everything with Buss and his family is so boring. They should've just made a show about the Celtics/Lakers rivalry. You still could have had all the team buying plot and drama. Just none of this extraneous garbage.

e: I just got to the tacked on ending. lol. Ooooof.
