Great casting for Magic and Jerry Buss. John C Reilly is my dude.
Angry Jerry West
Great first episode.
I’m disappointed that they’re only doing, I think, the 79-80 season. For all the focus on Larry Bird and Red Auerbach (not to mention Jerry West’s angst over the fact that he never could beat Boston), and the fact that the Lakers-Celtics rivalry defined the NBA in the ‘80s, seems a shame that we’re not going to get that far. There’s so much material there.

Huh? Is this just a one season show or miniseries? Where are you getting that this won’t go beyond 79-80?

Sniper out now on all digital platforms brev
first scene clearly shows Magic at the clinic seemingly getting his HIV result while looking at Jordan on magazine covers
show is clearly gonna cover the whole Showtime era
I know posters aren’t feeling the breaking of the fourth wall but it works for me
Dude who plays Earvin GOTTA be Magic’s b*stard son in real life. Thats some top quality method acting.
Jerry West gotta be mad as fukk at his caricaturization

I used to work with this white girl a few years ago. One day some guys are talking about basketball around her.Kareem pawging
Her: My aunt used to be with a basketball player, pretty much married. I think his name was Kareem Abdul Jabaar
Guys in the office:
Your aunt was with Kareem?Her: Yeah, is he good
She talked about how him and her aunt used to kick it in Brentwood, hang with OJ and shyt
So the white girl that was chilling in Kareem's trailer is this girl's aunt

just like succession, this shyt is low key funny as hell with all the subliminals.

all those black militants from that era were into white hoes. MLK, malcom x (prior to conversion), poitier, belafonte. it's actually NOT surprising.

I like how this is shot. It just feels authentic. People who lived this era must be loving this
