[@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.

[@cane6074]

Adrian Brody doing his stuff and great as always, plus I really like the retro 1970's cinematography recreated here and it looks authentic, kudos to those who did that as well.

[@garyleroy91]

This was a great scene, Pat Riley is showing his team he’s not a pushover he’s a coach for a reason by having leadership, discipline, and balls of calling out everyone in the locker room. Awesome speech

[@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.

[@3243_]

​@@fml5910 Well, Riley played in an era when many players smoked.

[@Potpourri-o7m]

The way he told off Kareem there was amazing. I mean, I know its just a scene and that was not actually Kareem but an actor portraying him, but anyone that knew what Kareem is like in person knows that it takes huge balls to tell him what Pat tells him here.

[@broadstreet21]

@@jameslyden Very good point. In the professional league, players were paid more and were the face of the franchise. If they were unhappy and wanted out, they had the leverage. It's easy to wield the fiefdom power when you have the leverage - like in the NCAA or if you're Herb Brooks coaching in the Olympics. But it's hard when you are coaching professionals. Riley hit on the nail when he addressed the problem everyone knew - the team was losing and everyone was blaming everyone, no million dollar star could argue with that. Much as they wouldn't feel good about the coach chewing them out, they couldn't deny it couldn't be worse than their chewing each other out over losing games. They couldn't deny he was right.

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.

It didn't happen at this point in the show, but it did happen during the 85 finals. Thats why when they make biographical shows based on true events, they have the "the events have been dramatized" at the beginning of a show or movie. It's for dramatic effect. The time the event happened doesn't matter. Biographical movies do that all the time.

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

[@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.

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.

[@brmhandle]

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.
