He always did. He and his brother been looking late 40s for 30 years.

It looks worse with him acting with people half his age and playing a 30 year old at 52

Another really good episode with the focus on Kareem this time

Still impressed with how good this series looks.

Coach at the end there

Magic ain’t even inbound the ball in real life

They got dr j’s rock the baby dunk in the season coming previews and that dunk didn’t happen for another few years.

I get fukking with the background stuff that isn’t easily verified but we have footage of the games. Play it straight.

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.

No matter the role, Wood Harris never misses! Just when I thought I couldn’t like this show anymore than I already did.

For the Lakers is what I meant but thanks.

He was all kinds of fukked up after. In Indiana they said he was a disaster and that he couldn’t remember plays. At one point when trying to remember a play he asked them about a play they ran against a college team thinking he was coaching back at college.

Magic & Kareem fighting

When Magic bust in the locker room with the Funk Tunes

Dude is murdering this part as Dr.Buss you can tell he’s enjoying that shyt.

I wonder if Kareem and Magic ever fought in real life. I know Kaj was with the shyts and magic wasn’t no p*ssy.

It was a massive tragedy and what if moment.

World b Free opened a can whoop ass on dem boys opening night with 46 points. he was giving magic so many buckets early on that Brent Musburger had to remind the viewing audience, that magic just turned 20 in August and just won the national championship.
They should have highlighted that more in this episode; Referencing how Norm told Magic the guards in the NBA would be too quick for him on the next level. Showing Magic fighting adversity and him and Norm gelling and working together. They also should have highlighted it was Micheal Cooper that help create that turnover at the end of the game for his story arch.




great find btw at magic really draped over Kareem like they just won a chip after game one.

I love the little accuracies they have in this show. right down to them zooming into kareem's bald spot

Paula Abdul in HS while a Laker Girl?

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

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
