Lakers documentary on HBO Max

Quirky, retro, weird thus far. John C Reilly is great as Jerry Buss- IMO the only "accurate" portrayal thus far. Some observations:

- Whomever did this has an axe to grind with Jerry West. LOL. West was not a drunk off the hook insane asshole in real life. Yes the Celtics got to him, but he was not unhinged and vulgar as portrayed- not close
- The whole Tarkanian thing is wayyyy overblown/over sold
- Pat Riley was not some desperate, whiny, loser post playing career
- West loved magic's game- not the opposite as portrayed
- Magic is much more intelligent than portrayed thus far
- They did get Norm Nixon right
- Kareem's character is way off

I get the need for entertainment. But this is not a documentary.
