Yeah that's something that might be lost on younger ppl; Magics generation was the one that made pro ballers superstars like that

Also now I'm confused about the shows timeline: I thought it was about the whole era but we're about to start episode 3 and Magic had yet to play a game

I’m assuming they’re gonna do multiple seasons. Season 1 probably ends with Magic winning the ship while playing center. The book was the same way really. Basically every chapter was a different season and each season had a focus on a different key laker not named Magic. But the meat of the book was all the stuff off the court and in the off season.

I really hope they go the distance with this show cause the Isiah stuff was some of my favorite shyt in the book. Isiah looking at Magic like a big brother, until he became formidable than their relationship deteriorated. Gonna make GREAT tv.

Artemus Gordon on IG denies that ever happened. Give him a follow and after the episodes hell confirm what did or didn't happened.

Bet. I think i heard on a podcast that it was real but they probably didn’t know what they were taking about.

Super dope show. Reilly is killing it. As is everyone else really.



















































Cookie is too fine.

Anybody read the book it's based on?

yup...must read for any Lakers fan. All those Roland Lazenby books are. The Jerry West one...the Phil Jackson one...the Kobe one.

Most of the shyt that's in the book you can separate from the sensationalized shyt. Like Magic in Michigan. He was working on his craft everywhere he could. But the book made no mention of him knockin down hoes in the church parking lot or humiliating shoe store broke boys. Jerry West was tormented by the Boston losses. The balloon story absolutely happened. They never said he was breaking golf clubs, tossing around trophies or sleeping on the floor when he didn't get his way. One cool thing they kinda show but don't explain is Jerry West outside in the rain shooting til his hands bleed on an unpaved makeshift court. In his book he explains the condition of the court caused him to bounce the ball harder and elevate as the ball was in mid bounce which is how he developed his unguardable pull up jumper.

man, this show is really making jerry west look bad. I know he struggled with depression, but

Thats cookies kid, and yes Cookies friend was mixin with Majic and thus came out Majics first son and oldest son.

in hindsight, magic probably like and thank goodness he got that first kid with the jumpoff given how his son who he gave his name to turned out to be.

Damn that was some foul shyt Magic did to Cookie's boyfriend. I mean in the end Magic got her but that was foul as fukk!

that shyt was petty. but then again, magic was like 19/20 at the time, so what u expect
