- TriviaExecutive producer Adam McKay and Will Ferrell had been producing partners for 25 years, until 2019 when their partnership and friendship ended abruptly, because Ferrell had his heart set on playing Jerry Buss in the series, then in development. McKay agreed, casting Ferrell in the role, before changing his mind and casting John C. Reilly (who worked with Ferrell and McKay on Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), Anh Em Ghẻ (2008) and Huyền Thoại Tiếp Diễn (2013)) instead without telling Ferrell. Ferrell was furious and ended their business relationship; McKay thought their falling out would last several months before realizing that Ferrell was far more hurt than McKay thought he would be and told Vanity Fair in November 2021 that Ferrell "will never talk to me again."

Featured review
So far - it's Engaging!
Okay - slight update to my original review - I have finally watched all of it! Both Seasons - and I loved it all! I was personally hoping for a Season 3 - it was a GREAT SERIES!! Only one episode in - but it's engaging!!! They could probably clean it up just a bit - I don't really need a lot of raunch in my basketball - there's a lot more to the story than just sex. There are a lot of elements to explore here - But it's not bad so far!!
Now that I've finished the entire series let me say this - IT WAS GOOD!!! I enjoyed it tons!!! And sure, some of the players, coaches, and staff felt like they weren't portrayed 100% accurately - and they weren't consulted during the making of the show! BUT - I don't think anyone was really represented badly - and it's a show - it was good - I really enjoyed it!!!
