Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4203543, member: 405"] Adrian Brody will be a commanding presence. I'll bet he pulls it off. As for tomcat's reference to Jerry West, Buss taking Magic was blowing up his team, and who the hell was this clown with the comb-over anyway? He doesn't understand what it takes to win!! So, yes, that part I can kind of believe. But obviously West became GM under Buss and served them all for a very long time, so I'm sure they all worked it out, as the series will eventually attest. Success has a habit of making everybody a bit more happy, and a bit more tolerant of stuff that could otherwise rub them the wrong way. And yeah, the vibe is like "of the era" right down to the graphics, the cars, the outfits. It is all so "on point!" Love it! Off to a great start! It's all going to come down to the writing eventually, and whether we truly grow to like some of these characters. Putting the Kareem from Airplane bit into the first episode was epic. [/QUOTE]
