Growing up in Schenectady, New York in the 1980's, there was an old Italian guy that lived next door to me. He told me that Pat Riley coached his son's softball team, when his son was growing up. Pat Riley grew up in Schenectady, N.Y.
He went from hippie to yuppie lookwise
Damn. Jason Segel sounds just like him!
sorry..but i still blame Westhead for Hank Gathers death.
Pat has always been a rat .
Who here watching after Westhead and Riley took the job in winning time
Magic didn't like, or get along with Paul Westhead. He gave the Laker management an ultimatum. Him or Westhead? That was a no brainer.
After this, therefore, because of this.
"FAST BREAK": is a must see documentary about, COACH, JOHN MCLENDON. This Legendary, African-American basketball coach, INVENTED, the fast break. He also helped integrate the sport. I'm only here to enlighten basketball fans. Enjoy the show, Winning Time, but, know the "TRUTH."
HBO bought me here😉
A better title: How Former Lakers Coach Jason Segel Gave Pat Riley His First Coaching Job
I thought Adrien Brody casting for Riley was poor until I see this picture
Wow sounds like Jason Segal 😂
An honest man
This guy was a weird coach of the best team in sports history
Winning time brought me here
What superstar did Kobe have when he won 2 after Shaq left?That's the difference between Kobe and Lebron
he wanted magic to play power forward and that was his biggest mistake.
He is underrated in laker history
Show's mostly good, but all the casting was perfect.
