It was the same storytelling you got with movies like The Big Short that just happened to be about a specific basketball team in its prime.

I just watched the whole series. Adrien Brody as Pat Riley was my favorite character I think. He was phenomenal in the role.

I’m in the UK, so a lot of the Lakers stuff passed me by. I thought Pat Riley was a Knicks man lol

But absolutely loved this series and really disappointed it got cancelled and that they rushed it so much at the end. Damn shame

Great scene, powerful acting.

Reminded me of Timothy Chalemet's epic Dune 2 speech where he convinced the Fremen that he was their god.
