I think a lot of the former players were in denial about how inaccurate Winning Time was because of their personal image. If you read books and articles about them, you can see that Jerry West and Kareem specifically were more or less the people they were in the show.

[@foxmccloud7055]

Bobby Knight- Hold my beer.

[@jameslyden]

@@foxmccloud7055 While I understand what you're saying, Riley was doing this in an environment where the players had the power to get the last coach fired. There was no such thing in the NCAA then; guys like Knight and Krzyzewski (who both started at Army) could run the programs like fiefdoms and pull the scholarship of anyone they wished. Players couldn't even transfer schools without the last coach's permission.

[@TMthe33rd]

My favorite scene from this series We saw him from a nobody wandering around Venice Beach to the coach of a championship team

[@TheBorderJumper17]

American Dream

[@abstractdaddy1384]

The build up to this scene made it land so hard. The confusion around who was the coach after Westhead was fired. Riley having more of a friendship with the players because of how he was with them while he was the assistant. The following montage of the Lakers on fire with Grease playing in the background was a great way to cap it.

[@broadstreet21]

And then it kind of happened again with the Miami Heat and Erik Spoelstra, when he went from video coordinator, assistant coach, then head coach. Riley appears to be like a clone of Red Auerbach. He's a player's coach, friendly with the guys, always finding ways to connect, but he also knows when to lay it down.

[@cesaracosta5483]

I love the way he stood up to Jerry west. He’s the only guy so far to do it and get away with it. 🤣🤣👌

[@LoSoNBanks22]

No more of this riles shit 😂

[@broadstreet21]

West, I'm sure, is proud of Riley. He was known to be explosive and impatient about winning. And then Riley emerged from the shadow to prove himself. When they were teammates, West was the top dog on the team, Riley was a bench player. It's like Michael Jordan being Steve Kerr's assistant coach.

[@RagDraggo]

And I remember how Jerry West stood up to Laker team owner Dr. Jerry Buss once. Early in the 1986/87 NBA season, Dr. Buss was about to do a handshake deal with Dallas Maverick team owner Don Carter. Plan wasa to trade Lakers James Worthy to the Mavericks for Mark Aguire. Jerry West told Dr. Buss that he himself would resign on the spot if Buss were to actually execute such a trade. The threat worked,, as NO trade was made,, and the Lakers went onto winning the next 2 NBA Championships.

[@3243_]

​@@RagDraggo One of the best trades the Lakers never made.

[@benkizer9509]

Adrian Brody does an excellent job at Pat Riley. One thing I appreciate about Riley is he was always grateful for the roles Jack McKinney and Paul Westhead had in him becoming the Lakers HC. McKinney's unfortunate accident elevated Riley to assistant and Riley continued running McKinney's "Showtime" offense, which he always credited to Jack. Riley was good friends with Westhead and cared about him. While I'm sure he was happy to become the head coach, he also was sad about his friend losing his job, and also made sure to let Magic know he was partially responsible for Westhead getting fired.

[@bernardoestrela6029]

best scene of the whole show! Brody is one of the greats

[@rangerscoach]

People appreciate the truth when they hear it. Even if it’s hard truths

[@johnlozauskas778]

Pat Riley was and will always be bat sh-t crazy. So sad he did not bring a title home to NY when he was their coach but the 90's watching the Knicks was still awesome. I wish Ewing followed Cartwight to Chicago to at least get a ring. Good Times!!

[@paullentz1972]

Riley didnt have nearly the talent in NY that he did in LA. NY expected him to bring Showtime to NY....however you need the horses to run Showtime (which The Knicks clearly did not have). Riley is a perfect example of a coach tailoring his coaching...around the talent he has. Those Knicks teams had the personnel to play tough defense/half court offense...and he squeezed every bit of effort out of that bunch. They just happened to run into Jordan's Bulls...and a Houston Rockets team that turned out to be too much offense for them.

[@scarrillo31]

Yea, I guess it was well known he was a quiet laid back person, and shortly after he became he literally did a character shift on life and completely became a new person. I love his character arc in here, and from what I've read, it's pretty accurate

[@fredfuu5226]

My fav actor by far.

[@alexwebb1381]

One of the greatest tv scenes I’ve ever watched. If you had watched up to this point in the season, Riles had been such a pathetic, sorry character, a shell of the “Pat Reilly” we know and love. Between the build up of conflicting personalities on the team and the internal dilemma pat was facing, especially with his experience with his father, this was the best build up and breaking of tension I’ve seen in a tv show. I’ll never forgive them for not renewing this.

[@farnio9638]

[@ericd4542]

[@BigBlack81]

The rant is indeed great. But for me, I think what makes this scene so amazing is the vulnerability of the coach AFTER the rant where he looks at the team and they're looking at him to join him before going out to play. There's acting...and then there's what Adrian Brody was doing in emoting the rage and its aftereffects, in real time, on himself PERSONALLY. That look galvanized me and I bet it galvanized them even more than the rant did.

I read the book that this was based on and the series is very faithful to the book. Kareem was an aloof a-hole who acted like he was better than everyone, Jerry West was so competitive he was a wreck. These men are beloved now but they weren’t perfect human beings, and no one should have expected them to be. Nobody seemed to complain about the book being inaccurate. I grew up in the Showtime era and appreciate the attention to that time this series is causing.

[@cesarbriones2419]

I watched this clip and what occurs to me is the thought I often had. How did the Lakers the showtime 80s Lakers? How is it did not become a Primadonna team I mean that team basically as a unit was loaded with star maybe not individually would have taken over teams, maybe one or two other players besides magic but as a collective unit, they are unstoppable force, and incredible. Looking back now is that there’s no envy there’s no jealousy there’s no like shit between em ever, they are there for each other like for real and this kind of this clip kind of reminds me of why that possibly happened. It’s completely different than the dynasty that shack and Kobe were a part of.
