After the insane success of "The Last Dance", the docu-series documenting the wonderful years of Michael Jordan and the "Chicago Bulls" of the 90's (also won an Emmy Award), HBO also decided to go for their own basketball series, which this time will try Recreate the Los Angeles Lakers of the 80s.
Early Wednesday morning, the casting of legendary coach Pat Riley, who won four championships with Magic Johnson and Karim Abdul-Jabbar in the "Show Time" Lakers, was announced.
So if you asked who would play the man, the gel and the suit then the answer is that for the prestigious and played role Adrian Brody was chosen, who as I recall won the best actor award for the unforgettable "pianist".
It should be noted that the series, which was commissioned to air as early as December 2019, will document the professional and personal lives of the Los Angeles Lakers players, one of the most revered and dominant dynasties in American sports.
It should be noted that Jerry Bass, the late owner of the Lakers, who passed away in 2013, will be played by John C. Riley.
Actor Quincy Isaiah was chosen for the role of team leader, Magic Johnson.
