What Earvin really said about the sanddab fish was, "We get better fish than this out of Lake Michigan." A docu-drama's quality is a function of what you put in, and what you leave out. There were some curious decisions here.
Two episodes in and this is the first TV show that I have ever watch with a big goofy grin on my face from beginning of each episode until it ends...and I'm not even a Lakers fan. Its a very fun show.
Wow I can't wait to see this plus I was born in 84 when the Lakers were battling the Celtics for championship titles but I'm so glad I was born in that time period when the Lakers were on top I definitely would have been a hardcore Lakers fan and Magic was the guy but that all changed when I was told about this young kid From Wilmington North Carolina and Was drafted 3rd by the Chicago Bulls Named Michael Jeffrey Jordan so MJ was my guy growing up in the late 80s and 90s and I loved Magic to but didn't get to see his prime years but I first finally saw Magic on TV play my Bulls and Michael Jordan took over that series in the finals
This is the clip that sold me on the show. Binged all 10 eps in under a week. It's as close to perfect as a show should be. Every role acted perfectly. Every line, every actor tapped for the role. THE CINEMATOGRAPHY ALONE is worth the watch. Cannot wait for Season 2. I'm hooked.
Yeah he’s excellent in this. I also think the writers deserve credit, it’s a really interesting nuanced character they’ve created, and Reilly perfectly portrays him as this endearing, partly problematic but ultimately captivating character
I like that Buss always got along with Magic from the get go. In the scene when Magic says "Can I get a cheeseburger?" Buss laughs and says "C'mon Jack, the kid is 19, get him a burger."
Magic always said he saw Dr. Buss as a second Father in his life. They had a very close bond from the beginning. From suggesting cheeseburgers after Magic was picky with the sand dabs to telling Mr. Johnson of his experience working at a mill in Wyoming, he knew how to keep the talent happy and how to relate to them as equals.
The Jerry West preference for the Squid over Magic is overblown. Plus most people on here dont even realize how good King Sid was. The best 2 guard in the league until Jordan came along and gave Jordan fits when they actually did play each other. Excellent shooter and an equally great defender whose only peer defensively was Alvin Robertson at the time.
Love how Jerry broke that silence to relate with Magic’s dad, like ‘yea I made it, but Im not made from money’ a lot of, no matter the color, came from humble beginnings. Even when Magic gets called boy, you see his dad AND Bus turn like ‘nah nah nah you dont call a man boy’ the film does a good job with this.
The real Jack Kent Cooke was a much bigger Ahole than what is portrayed here. They actually toned him down for this movie. BTW, for anyone over 40, that actor is the same actor that plays the kid Danny in Caddyshack. Man, how time has passed.
@@TavaraTheLaughingLion From what I hear, the portrayal of West is accurate too, but not very flattering at all. It does show Magic as a little Wild, but Humble. I think this show nailed the personalities. If not, someone would have sued them.

Magic knew his worth & he was worth that and much more. Somehow the GMs still want to treat players as if their butlers, like they don’t have a mind of their own. Glad his father didn’t hold him back from speaking how he felt.
Magic was way ahead of his time. I mean he was the original Lebron. A guy who was very very hyped up with the talent that you knew he was going to be great. I mean imagine winning an NCAA title and then going to the NBA and you know you are that good. The Lakers at that point were a playoff team making it to the conference semi finals, but lost out to the Super Sonics. Magic was that hyped up player that could back up everything he said and he got the team to rise up.
@@whoknows20232 The only major flaw of Magic's legendary Post NBA career (not counting his brief comeback around 1995-'96)has actually been this. When he was the Lakers GM & Head of Basketball Operations/Part Owner in the Mid/Late 2010's right before LBJ arrived. Other than that as a Businessman Magic no doubts belongs in either a Forbes or Fortune 500 HOF as a Business Owner /Executive. Especially being the Front Man for the current Dodgers Ownership group that brought the team from crook Frank McCourt.
Flounders and Sand Dabs are delicious flat fish. Its a treat, especially the sand dab as they inhabit the deep Pacific. Im sure Magic developed the plalet for it as he matured.
Inflation. During the 70s & 80s, players in all sports regularly made 6 figures, which was to equivalent to what $50 million contract is today. And 6 figures a year was a lot of money back then. It wasn't until the late 80s, early 90s when salaries started increasing.

How ironic that Magic was fighting for $600k and no one taught him the value of stock options, thereby leading him to make the worst financial decisions of his life. He rejected an offer by Nike for 100k shares and $1 for every shoe sold. Nike sells approximately 780 million shoes a year now. He'd be making almost $1 billion every year just on shoe sales alone.

Magic is 19 and already knows how to negotiate like a pro. Respect.

This is loosely based off real life. It’s not a documentary.

He still missed out Nike offer though. Instead chose Converse.

He IS an equal to all of them. He doesn’t have to pretend.
Negotiating is about making sure the other side feels like they got a win. Negotiating failures happen because one side wants to own the other.
He was the new generation of leader, Jack Cooke was the old generation, put themselves above.
