The mirror shots show present-day Pat Riley, so he likely okayed this portrayal of him. I dig the 70s van he owns but expect him to trade it in for a Porsche when he slicks his hair back.

I am not sure I like that they have Spencer Haywood smoking crack in the show, there was a recent article from 2020 that stated his addiction was Cocaine and the reason for his personal issues. But we'll see, I think this episode redeemed a bit of their Jerry West, Hardass portrayal.

The person in the mirror shots is the actor that plays Pat Riley's father in the show. I thought it was actual Pat Riley myself at first, too.

Isnt the actor playing Kareem also like a 22 year old due and playing someone who is supposed to be older than Wood Harris?

You think Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was in his mid-50s in 1979, still in the NBA, and played another several years?

I’m sure they’ll figure it out, I doubt they will pretend Moses Malone didn’t exist. It will be interesting to see how they accelerate the timeline though, there is no way they can keep doing one nba season per show season. The first season made sense, a lot of ground to cover. I am sure we’re in for some time skips.
