Man, HBO got Jerry West outchea as a straight maniac.
Norm's son actually portrays him in the show, which is cool.I finally got around to watching the 1st episode at least. My random observations so far:
I never knew behind the scenes that Jerry West was as uptight as he was portrayed to be. During the short time that he was the President of Operations here with the Memphis Grizzlies, I never caught that side of him. They had their first winning seasons and playoff appearances under his run. There was a Black GM in that role before him that was making strides. I forget his name, but when Jerry came, he made moves and really got stuff done with the quickness.
I remember Norm Nixon very well during the Laker years. If those beginning interactions with him and Magic was like that, then it made sense as to why Magic was as good as he was from the start. I mean, it was his talent no doubt, but I see he had the right person in Norm to either break him or make him. Norm was nothing to play with on the court though, much respect.
Looks like they are really not holding back...

"The portrayal of NBA icon and LA Lakers legend Jerry West in 'Winning Time' is fiction pretending to be fact — a deliberately false characterization that has caused great distress to Jerry and his family," Skip Miller, one of West’s attorneys, told ESPN. "Contrary to the baseless portrayal in the HBO series, Jerry had nothing but love for and harmony with the Lakers organization, and in particular owner Dr. Jerry Buss, during an era in which he assembled one of the greatest teams in NBA history.
"Jerry West was an integral part of the Lakers and NBA's success. It is a travesty that HBO has knowingly demeaned him for shock value and the pursuit of ratings. As an act of common decency, HBO and the producers owe Jerry a public apology and at the very least should retract their baseless and defamatory portrayal of him."
