this show had no reason to be so good and hbo being hbo cancelled it. we could of gotten different coaches like red or phil building their dynasties.

thx for sharing !

The editing is truly spectacularly awful

The birth of The Godfather

This is the Anti Ted Lasso show apparently.

The only coach that can save Manchester United

This series was supposed to go at least four seasons. If you’re a fan of it, I highly recommend the book it’s based on by Jeff Pearlman. So many insane stories but my favorite by far is the one in the epilogue. It’s about the 12th man on the bench and how the team absolutely tormented him the entire year. The veterans on the team were just relentless to the guy, he almost considered retiring as a rookie. But once the team won their championship of the 80s, they celebrated with him like he was family. He was invited to dinner at Magic’s house, went on vacation with everybody. The lesson? You’re not truly a Laker until you win a championship. That was the culture Pat Riley created. So good.

I didnt know mr. Changgreta retired from being a mob boss to being a basketball coach?

"I don't know where you got the idea you're a star, but you're not." Looked a grown man in the eye and told him that. The best coaches aren't afraid to call out their players when they start slipping. Tom Landry, Bill Parcells, Jimmy Johnson, Pat Riley, Phil Jackson...these men and others knew how to get the best out of their players and that's why they're all in the Hall of Fame.

I love this clip. I may watch this every day.

Kareem, Magic, Jerry West, Shaq, Kobe, Gasol, Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, Jerry Buss, 17 rings, and today we have what? Jeanie, JJ Redick and Bronny James.

This is three men in discussion. Real as it gets.

Why couldn't the pacers parlay that success back then.

When in command, take charge.

You can’t coach if your afraid of your players.

Adrien Brody nailed Riles. All the actors in this series were fantastic. Can't we get another season, HBO? PLEASE?

If Kobe and Shaq had the Pat Riley of the 80s they’d have twice as many championships

This is what Kobe and Shaq needed

The casting for this was amazing

How did they find the perfect actors for all these legends?

this show is just full of bs

Had so much material for a good 5 season saga. Most of all the actors brought it from the real players! Bird!! Cap! Etc.. Season 2 felt rushed.

Bought both seasons on this scene alone.

Cant hear you bill

Such a GREAT SHOW!! And the NBA cancels it! So it really must’ve been authentic 👀

Dude that was such a cool speech! No more of this Riles sh**.... ITS COACH

A B C!

Phenomenal actor

F the Lakers.

When did Pat Riley become Jewish?

Brody’s such a talented actor

Folks think that Riley was all Armani suits, slicked back hair, and cool personality but forget he's from Schenectady and would throw hands with ANYBODY

The Rangers could use Coach Reily right now, but everyone is soft nowadays they need their safe places.

Did this actually happen?

I wonder if Pat Riley has actually seen this.

Brody is S-tier on the acting tier list...

This has to be the greatest portrayal in tv show history.

Now that was the Pat Riley I was familiar with and the one that got his face on that SEGA Genesis video game I liked to play.

I’ve never seen Adrien Brody like this, and I LOVE IT!!!! Incredible speech. Incredible acting. BRAVO!!!!!!

Mr Changretta

Michael Cooper was star. Not many guys were hitting three pointers in the NBA during his time. And the defense. Unfortunately, he got his ass dunked on by the doctor.

Yes!!!

And that’s why he’s the godfather

Great actor

Washington Bullets logo in the backdrop.

What a great performance by Adrian Brody!!!

never seen this, but now I wanna. Really enjoyed how they steered away from the cliche that gets overdone in so many team movies, where "omg coach said something profound and hard...now we have to do a montage of us being pissy at him, while we slowly get better, and then suddenly we're all a well oiled machine." Nah here they realized immediately "ya know what...not sure if he's right or not...but he's the coach for a reason, so let's give it a go with good attitude." and then we got the last 30 seconds of the clip from 2:18.

BRING THIS SHOW BACK 😓

This looks like SNL skit but not funny.

Can you imagine being a professional athlete giving it your absolute all every time youre out there, and you get to the championship 9 times out of the 14 seasons you're playing in, and you lose not only 8 of them, but 6 STRAIGHT YEARS to the same goddamn team???? Just once is heartbreaking to anyone, but 6? 6 consecutive fucking times. Not only that. But you eventually DO win a championship, and its against a completely different team. So you can't avenge your loss to the team that beat your ass all those times. Damn Jerry. I can't imagine the torture. God bless you and God rest your resilient soul.
