    Watched episode 1 last night on HBO. Not sure how true it is but it's pretty funny. The casting is perfect! John C Reilly nails the role of Buss.

    Looking forward to the rest of the series.

    I like that they had to call it Winning Time instead of Showtime, because it's on HBO.

    A friend of mines daughter helped produce that show. Might watch enough just to be able to have a conversation.

    Would be great to celebrate watching this when the Lakers miss the play in completely, and don't even get their lottery draft pick.

    The guy who plays Magic both looks startling like him at certain angles and doesn't look like him. The guy playing Kareem is closer. I didn't know Jerry West had such a temper - I did know he was famously never happy.

    Why would I want to watch something that I'd end up throwing a brick through the TV to stop?

    Even if it is a mockumentary. Fuck the Lakers.

    People under 50 will not get the reference.

    All I know is it's on the jukebox in hell, right next to American Pie, Sylvia's Mother, and Me And You And A Dog Named Boo.

    Toby Keith and his daughter did a pretty awesome rendition of it...

    Anyone who's ever seen "Dumb and Dumber" gets the reference, and that includes plenty of people under 50.
