    Also, I don't know how true the Rambis makes the Lakers bit was but regardless, it just reminds you of how much luck goes into putting together a championship team.

    Some great scenes and performances in this week’s episode. Jerry cusses a lot and Riles takes over.

    Heh, I've thought about watching that doc after every episode. Will check it out eventually.

    i finally watched it only because this show leaves me wanting more every week!

    the casting on this show is so good. i know its exaggerated versions of everyone, but just based on looks they really nailed it. the recent arrival of "hippie" rambis is another great example.

    No more Vanilla Thunder (HIMYM) makes me sad.

    The origin story of Patrick's slicked back hair style was a nice touch with the Grease intro song playing in the background.

    this show is just fun, who cares which parts are real

    every scene with Jerry West is comedy gold

    If you like the show, you should definitely check out the podcast. I like to listen right after I watch each episode.

    First disappointing episode of the season. I felt like it was just filler. Still better than any episode of Season 1 though.

    It's okay, it happens in every great mini-series.

    I liked that it gave Kareem some locker-room "**** you, let's go" presence.

    His losing his house and album collection was 100% true...

    Yeah, I remember reading about that years ago.

    Also, according to the podcast, the fans giving him jazz albums was also true. And had a lot to do with him changing his mindset.

    Kareem is a super interesting guy. I'd love to read his autobiography...but he's actually written 22 books. So I wouldn't know where to start.

    He's a fascinating guy, on a whole lot of levels.

    I'll admit, I kinda teared up a bit when the kid gave him his dad's favorite jazz album.
