Buss had a PhD in chemistry. He was a smart guy. Not just in science but business
And he was street smart as well. He clearly understood people.
@@romancandle416 He treats men and women with respect.
The casting is superb. John C Reilly is killing it and Norm Nixon's son playing his dad is just so effortless.
Wow no wonder. I thought he was a dead ringer for Norm himself.
+missingno Chiklis is good, but how awesome would it be to see Burt Young as Red Auerbach
Idk about the Larry Bird casting though
@@Geojr815 I feel like his attitude makes up for it
@@Geojr815maybe not the look, but dude has the intensity
I'm addicted to this show.
As long as you know its not accurate of what their personalities were truly like, its okay!
@@BabylonGateLAoh im glad we have your stamp of approval
@@BlackedOutDreams You’re welcome buddy.
@@BabylonGateLAit's dramatization imbecile, you expect this in every live action rendition of anything?
If this happened then Red did in fact give Buss the best lesson he could have. The rivalry with the Celtics runs generations deep.
It’s not real
Imagine, I wish
He was a good choice to play Red Auerbach
That wasn’t the best lesson
It didn’t happen. Written purely for the show. Great scene nonetheless.
I'll bet you Michael Chiklis was/is having the time of his life playing Red Auerbach. Solid actor, but his hatred for Buss and the Lakers isn't acting...it's genetic!
Chiklis' father was a huge Red Auerbach fan, so yes he is
Once a Celtics fan always a Celtics fan.
The dude’s a huge Bostonian so of course playing Red Auerbach would be a huge honor
Whoa, Chiklis is unrecognisable, and he is absolutely killing it in this scene. Wow.
He's a Boston guy and a big Celtics fan IRL. In his mind, he's playing the good guy in the series!
John C Reilly is underated
Dewey Cox Walk hard is one of the funniest movies ever
Because underrated actors have 30 plus year careers.
@@andymoore9892 why do you say that
@@brooklyn695 Because everyone says everything is underrated when CLEARLY these actors/musicians/athletes have long careers because they are respected in their fields.
Underrated? He beat out of Micheal Shannon for the role
This is one of the best shows I've seen in forever.
I hope hbo makes a sequel to this about the Kobe Phil and Shaq years
Ong
How they gonna find another human on earth big enough to play shaq
Heck yeah, the 2000s Lakers are underrated.
Jeff Pearlman has another book they could do. It's called three-ring circus
It's already in development
So crazy I'm back watching 'The Shield' with Michael Chiklis after like a decade and this pops up on my TH-cam feed
The Shield is definitely a show I need to re-watch...I haven't revisited it since it went off the air, but I was addicted to it.
@@keefriff99 The Shield was one of the best shows on TV, I remember loving it when I was in college. The Armenian money train boyeee! Haha
Michael Chiklis has always been great. Before "The Shield", he used to play the protagonist in "The Comish", and he was awesome in that too. Good to see him here still pushing forward, breaking new ground.
From Dr. Steve Brule to Dr. Jerry Buss, Reilly's all versatility
He's really stringing some strong sentences together in this one and picking up the camera angle well. I wonder if that's actually Stan Brule ? He is really talented...so...it could be
"It's clobberin' time!"
--Red Auerbach
Nice to see some of us still remember.
"I'm gonna wreck it!"
-Jerry Buss
@@thomaspaull2594 😂
"Championships aren't won. They're taken."
If that happened, Red finally found his match in Jerry Buss during the 80s. 2-1 record in the Finals said it all.
2-1
When I watched this scene, I thought "Well good thing Buss has Jerry West on his side, who is also portrayed as someone completely unsatisfied, and wanting to win above all else."
What the show failed to show was that Auerbach's protégé, Bill Sharman, built the Lakers dynasty. He coached them to their first championship in LA, then served as GM when they picked Johnson and won five more chips.
True but everyone also said it came down to one lucky missed game-winner shot
I always wondered how that happened. How did the Celtics legend end up building the Laker dynasty?@@broadstreet21
I love this show. I’m a big lakers fan so this just makes it even better.
Hi boo lol
After this season y'all need it lol
@@RunningBack513 Knicks fan here… love it 2 !
Me too lifelong lakers fan love it waiting for season 2 hope this thing goes long
Good casting because Michael Chicklas is from Boston. And John C. Reilly delivers again.
Wow I didn't even realize that was him!
@@kylepatrickhall1426 great make up and wigs
But technically Red was from Brooklyn so I'm glad they made him talk with the Brooklyn accent and not Boston accent
@@musicalmelodies3595clam chowdah, Harvard Yard
"I'm tryna build something out here"
Why does this scene give me Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro, Casino vibes 😂
I'm a huge Bird and Celtics fan from this era and I love this. It takes me back!
The best movie John C Reilly has ever done is "Walk Hard". Besides you got to love those monuologues
Even as a Celtic fan I like this show
Very surprised by this series...the telling of the story has a lot of interesting variations with side narratives from the characters. John C. Reilly is terrific. The whole cast especially the choice of Magic actor was very good.
Two of my favorite actors Michael chiklis and John C. Reily
Red gave him advice without knowing it, just by boasting and trying to insult Jerry.
At this point Red is the ultimate basketball champion. He saw Jerry as another rich suit milking another franchise. Not a true competitor.
@@ShatamxBut he just told him what it takes.
I wished that this was in theaters for all to see I think this might be Oscar material.
Who's gonna sit in a theater for 11 hrs?
Adam mckay was right i love will ferrell but there is no way he could of nailed the buss role like john
exactly. will farrell would've played a great bill walton though lol
Apparently Will Farrell got so upset that he won’t work with Adam Makay anymore which is sad. I think John looks like Dr Buss and plays him well.
Split up their production company over it
He owns this role
I'm glued to this show.
I am soo disappointed 😞 we need more episodes of this brilliant show.
Best show in years!
Amazing!! Legends of the Game! Auerbach & Buss !!
John C is such a fantastic actor...I almost was ashamed that my brain screamed, "ORDER GUAC-A-MOLE!"
"Waiter, SWEETBERRY WINNNNE"
Michael Chiklis is an awesome actor 👏🏽
John C. Reilly is Dr. Buss
This scene is like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino meeting up in Heat (1995).
Red Auerbach is so underrated.
I love the portrayal of Buss in the show!
What Kareem, Jerry West and Magic do not seem to get is that if they had made it accurate, then it would have been boring.
This clip is 🔥.
Who was Redd kidding, he was doin it to feel good too. It fed his ego just like it would any other person in that position. Maybe at the time it didn't fed his ego as much as in the past cause he was used to it, but I'm pretty sure it was still satisfying...
Why does the celtics executive look like a 1960s Chicago mobster? Lol
What a great show. Amazing that someone had the idea to do this. Even more incredible that people invested in it, to get some great actors. This Laker dynasty was a piece of my youth. I was already a 13 year old Laker fan when we lucked into Magic Johnson. The rest is, as they say, hiss-toe-ree!
Can't believe you were already a fan cause the Lakers was trash before dey got Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Norman Nixon and dey still wasn't dat good oh I left out Silk I myself left the ABA and followed Doc my bro to the Sixers
@@jbwc I only became a Laker fan because they got Kareem a few years earlier by trade. He was my favorite player since the age of 7, so LA became my team, trash or not lol
@@jbwc ummmm idk about that because they always gone to the finals before they got kareem
Would love to see HBO do a show on how the Celtics were racial pioneers in not only the nba but pro sports as a whole, specifically drafting Chuck cooper, on Bill Russell being the first African American coach in the league and doing all of this in the racial pressure cooker that was Boston back in those days.
Like a prequel to this? Maybe have the lakers involved too?
@@805fillmore yes! Exactly! It would show what made West the way he was, the way Auerbach was the way he was etc. I know it’s just entertainment, but it rubbed me the wrong way kinda the way they portrayed Auerbach in this, they just rececntky honored him in Boston during Black history month, Boston like everywhere back then had it’s racial issues, but to tie the Celtics and Auerbach to any of it, even if it’s just subtle, is a disgrace to the memory of the great man and great organization the Celtics are!
@@HayastAnFedayi how was red portrayed as racist??
@@805fillmore that the Celtics drafted Bird because he was some kind of great white hope when home and Johnson weren’t even in the same draft, and the way they portrayed him as against fast action in the game because it’s like “street ball” when in actuality the Celtics were the originators of fast break/showtime style play in the 60s.
"Lets add a lobster to that"
One of the Best scenes ever. I love sports
Crazy how much John C Reilly looks like Dr Buss
I know we had Last Dance. But if you want ego, competition, undercutting, and envy - the Bulls dynasty really needs to be dramatized. Phil with his eccentricities, Krause and his Nixon like paranoia, MJ, Rodman, Pippen. The kukoc saga, Dennis, etc.
Does JCR ever flop? The guy is pure gold
This was a fun series. I loved it.
none of my friends have seen this show yet so I have no one to talk about this show with :/
Same
You dont have friends
@@e2zbasketball288 can't argue with that
This series is the best I've seen in years...and Mandalorian
Cringe
Best show on HBO
When you break the 4th wall abundantly, you know you're watching an Adam McKay project.
Take that as you will
Instead of walking out like he did, if I was Dr. Jerry Buss, I would’ve stayed and taken that all in for when the time came for the Lakers to beat his Celtics, 1985 and 1987, I would have thrown all that backlash Red Auerbach was giving me back in his face!
yeah, but it wouldnt have matterd. red beat him soooo many times it was laughable. even a stopped clock is right twice a day
@@fredwright5954
Really?!!!! Funny how the Lakers took 2 of the 3 Finals against those Celtics in the 1980’s and you’re telling me how Red Auerbach was beating Dr. Jerry Buss like a clock?
@@Jiltedin2007 he was..like 5 in a row...lol
This show is really good
wow! so much nuance. haven't seen this yet. great job!
Chickless kills it as red
To Help the youth understand how good Red was My Knicks won a Championship!! Im a middle aged man now in my 40's that has never happened in my lifetime
Wrong Red you speak of
Adam McKay is a genius!
I have to start watching this show
Celtics 18 Banners, Lakers 17, Two of the best
What a scene !!! I watch it 4-5 times a day for almost a week now. And Jerry Buss stood well.
I don't know if this scene is realistic or fabricated for drama. But Red was cerebral, eccentric and I don't think he'd get real angry over dinner. For one thing, it would have been much more realistic if they had Red at a Chinese place - that's almost all he ever ate. Red wanted very badly for Larry Joe and the Celtics to beat Magic and the Lakers. However, after the fight he would have told you the rivalry was the best thing that ever happened to the game.
This scene was fabricated, no question. Maybe they did meet but it wasn't this exact setting or dialogue.
Auerbach just talked Buss and the Lakers to becoming a dynasty...Smart mouth lips sink their own ships.
John was a better pick than Will Ferrell.
Whoa. Didn’t know Riley was playing Buss. That’s crazy
I've watch Michael Chiklis on The Shield and I hate him more as Red Auerbach than as a cop who also killed innocent people
Wow I did not expect the Commish to portray Red Auerbach. This show is HBO gold.
I hope they do one on jordan
"I can be a miserable person in the front office. More miserable than anyone," Red Auberach.
"Hold my box of donuts," - Jerry Krause.
Auerbach reminds me a bit of Archie Bunker from All In the Family. But he is the GOAT in the game. If Buss really wanted to win, he ought to have tried to hire Auerbach, see if he'll take the bigger bucks or laugh him out.
I'll agree with Kareem and Magic that this show could have been great had they just stuck to the true story of the Lakers back then and not did a fictional version.
John c absolutely great
Wwwoooww...great writing.
This scene is too cold, lakers are now tied with celtics with the most championships of all time and celtics only have had 1 in the last 25 years
Nova Corp and The thing.
red was a gangster 🤣🤣🤣
Count me in.. 😂
Is that Vic Mackey?
Def saw Chiklis’s inner Mackey come out when he said “they are taken…by men like ME!”
Always nice to see a 100% fictional show.
The thing is red auerbach. Wow
I wonder if Red regretted those comments because the Lakers won five titles in the 80s to Red's Celtics three and it could have been 6 to 2.
This conversation probably never even happened, it's a dramatization
red won his in the 60s, and five against the lakers
@@fredwright5954 and the 70s and the 80s. In fairness, Red was a competitor. He wasn't going to let his guard down for anyone including a hotshot like Dr. Jerry Buss.
They probably never even met like this. It's called dramatic license.
If only Bird didn't break down and Len Bias didn't die
New owner of the Lrakers, Jerry Bungus. For your health.
Pretty good, if sad, advice from Red
Jerry West portrayal is bordering on cartoonish. They went overboard with that character but mostly i like show.
I like Richard Pryor's portrayal.
It says Red Auerbach was the owner but he wasn’t, was he?
Well it’s not the bill Walsh 49ers story but I’ll take it
Or a spinoff series about the Celtics of the 80s
John C Reilly is perfect, sorry but Will Ferrell would have been a terrible Jerry Buss.
John C Reilly best actor award 2022?
Kareem and Jerry West crapping on the authenticity of this is hilarious.
Why
@@TV-ob1if Kareem has come out recently criticizing the show for it not being real
@@tonylang3163 oh yeah definitely. But to be fair it’s very clearly stated in the forward that it is not a documentary. Besides. My Question was more along the lines of why it’s hilarious.
@@TV-ob1if Well it is over the top. These guys are acting like they're doing a "Watergate" skit. Very cloak and dagger
It was a good drama but man, they sure cast the net wide on reality.
Anyone know if this meeting is at Dan Tana's restaurant?
now were tied for most trophies!!! GO LAKERS F THE SUCKTICS
Buss hired Auerbach's ex player, Bill Sharman.
Lakers went on to win 11 Chips and Celtics 4 after the 1979-80 season. Both tied at 17.
You’re mistaken astronaut. LA Lakers have 12 not 17. The Boston Celtics have 17.
@@vinniesikka6187 You joking or?
@@AstroSully are you saying there are 17 banners in Lakers arena in LA? There’s 12 and then there is one weird looking one with 5 squished together from another city thousands of miles away.
@@vinniesikka6187 Who tf brought up Banners? We're talking about how many Chips have the Organization not the city ffs. You're deeping it too much. Let me guess Boston fan?
@@AstroSully I’m not a fan of either city but find it ridiculous that the Lakers (as an organization) can actually say with a straight face that they have 17 championships. Do the OKC thunder have a banner from their championship in Seattle. The LA Lakers have 12. To count the other 5 is disingenuous.
What’s so scary is that Magic one the fIRST SEASON
all that talent, was ready. larry had to work and build his
Got the part because of boogie nights
Are all episodes available or they come out weekly
Weekly
once a week
Red admitted that the NBA is rigged and it benefits him.
I wonder what kind of advice she would ask the arch enemy?
Just so everybody else know, this is about 20% all factual series in general. Great acting, good entertainment, but not as factual as people want it to be.
Did they make Auerbach the owner of the Celtics in the show? Cus he was never the owner was he? Coach then GM and President right?
No, he’s the president in this show and he calls the shot on who he picks to play with Larry Bird
