    Googling Vic Weiss has led me to the conclusion that UNLV threw the game against duke in 1990 leading to Coach K’s first title. Fuck the mob for what the next thirty years brought because of that.

    agreed. Just finished and it was fantastic. How many EPS is this? I feel like it might be multiple seasons with them not even starting the season yet. Riley wasn’t their coach until they fired their current assistant as the HC, Paul Westhead after the title in year1. Not sure what happens with McKinney(don’t spoil)

    The camera holding on him underwater after he jumps in was a fun wink to the pool scene in "Boogie Nights".

    they also built it up well, by demonstrating that he was finally accomplishing what he set out to do :(

    100% believable as a coach. Will be interesting to see how Westhead gets to where it eventually ends up with him because Segel is playing him as a nice, soft spoken guy so far.

    The show runner was on Russillo's pod and he said they tried to pitch for almost a decade but no one would touch it because they didnt think you would find believable actors to play Magic and Kareem

    yeah they absolutely nailed the casting there.

    love the show, but wish they would tone down breaking the fourth wall thing. It's cheesy and unnecessary. Show still remains very entertaining in spite of it. I love that they covers tons of aspects of the characters lives and it's not just restricted to the major basketball moments.

    The look of the show is awesome. Was talking to a cinematographer the other day about how they switch between different film types during scenes. Gives you that 80's broadcast feel but then they'll go back to a traditional camera.
