    He was literally the best character. Always said what people were thinking & topped it off with a couple necessary & uncontrollable f-bombs. Best character. My guy.

    I have major problems with the show but one thing ill say is the dude who plays Bird absolutely nails the form of his shot... He's pitch perfect with the placement of his arms, his flick & the hight of his jump.

    The Show is Great entertainment .The book was a brilliant read .But Jerry west was more of a quiet storm of a personality .A very tortured soul because of all those horrendous losses .

      In school we went to the State Championship 3 out of my 4 years. We lost -- crushed -- all 3 times. My senior year we lost in the semi-finals at home on an unsportsmanlike like conduct penalty. 14 years later there's not a day that goes by that I don't still think about those years. I can't even imagine what Jerry West feels with how fresh in his head it still would have been in 1979.

    That’s how West was from 76-81. He had gotten a divorce in ‘76 because Wilt exposed him about his womanizing in his ‘73 book without saying his name which is why he quit playing. He didn’t want to coach but he had no money due to the divorce. Once he became GM, he found his purpose. But from that period, he was a lost soul.

    It’s a good show. It’s not going to be the final, definitive statement on Jerry West’s life.
    He is solidified by his career and nothing will change that.

    The portrayal of Jerry West is a missed opportunity. Jerry came from dirt-poor West Virginia, where basketball was culture, to start professional basketball on the West Coast. He was and is, an elegant, sophisticated individual. The low score at the Bel Air Country Club. Angry competitor, yes. But also extremely sagacious. Complicated. But it begins with Jerry's body. The Logo. They needed an actor svelte and graceful, and put a brain on that. They didn't.

      No it wasn't. It was boring. Real life is never as exciting as the fiction. It's like what the feds say about wiretaps of the mafia. They aren't saying anything. It's pretty boring actually. Will people watch the Sopranos if it were like that? No. TV is entertainment and that's it.
