Dr. Buss and his daughter... visionaries in creating a new game day experience and building a winner.... I didn't realize how broke they were and how chaotic that roster was... Dr Buss certainly knows how to grease the skids to get stuff done his way.
I remember a lot of these events happening, but not at that level of detail.... excellent casting of those characters.
Chick Hearn to Pat Riley.... "don't speak while my fist is closed"..... LOL....
BTW, I looked up Pat Riley's pre NBA career...... only high school player to beat Kareem's high school team....
I've haven't looked forward to Sunday Nights on HBO since Tony Soprano faded to black........ this Laker HBO show has me hooked....
