Did you know
- TriviaExecutive producer Adam McKay and Will Ferrell had been producing partners for 25 years, until 2019 when their partnership and friendship ended abruptly, because Ferrell had his heart set on playing Jerry Buss in the series, then in development. McKay agreed, casting Ferrell in the role, before changing his mind and casting John C. Reilly (who worked with Ferrell and McKay on Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), Step Brothers (2008) and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)) instead without telling Ferrell. Ferrell was furious and ended their business relationship; McKay thought their falling out would last several months before realizing that Ferrell was far more hurt than McKay thought he would be and told Vanity Fair in November 2021 that Ferrell "will never talk to me again."

Featured review
Cancelled even before reaching the peak?
The decision to cancel the show is still mindbogglng to me. I thought they received positive reviews from critics and fans.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the show. I might be biased as I'm a big Lakers' fan. But I think the combinaton of well established stars (Reilly, Brody, Clarke) and the least known ones did work. I really like Quincy Isaiah acting as Magic, it's perfect. The different pace between first and second season might be confusing but it's not a major flaw. The cinematography is also very good and it fits the narrative of the show. It's Lakers, 1980's Lakers, the showtime.
Again, I'm still annoyed with the show cancellation. I thought there could be more saucy stories or plots to be developed in the following seasons.
