Una serie criticada

La serie no hace gala de los elementos más sensacionalistas de la época basando mucha de su trama en los problemas y particularidades de aquellos personajes de las gesta, cosa que a uno como expectador lo mantiene entretenido aunque teniendo mucha crítica negativa por parte del mundo deportivo por exponer una caricatura de algunos personajes como es el caso del Gran exjugador y directivo Jerry West.

Si bien se conoce que West mantuvo algunos problemas con su temperamento, la serie lo muestra como un hombre atormentado, enfocandose tanto en ello que la interpretación realizada por Jason Clarke parece una caricatura de esta persona, es simplemente poco creible que en el ambiente corporativo de la época se mantenga a un hombre con semejante comportamiento y más conociendo todos los éxitos del personaje siendo uno delos directivos más exitosos del baloncesto en su historia aparte de un excelente jugador, en lo particular como seguidor delbaloncesto esa es la parte que me impide disfrutar totalmente de la serie, esta bien que muestren el lado humano y si,en esa época hubo mucha tela que cortar tras bastidores que es el gancho de la serie pero de alguna forma en este caso particular se siente forzado. Pat Riley tampoco sale tan bien parado aunque con una mejor interpretación de Adrien Brody, a quien en lo personal considero un mejor actor que Clarke.

Al Respecto West ha exijido una carta de disculpas por parte de los productores de la serie, la cual fué soportada por Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Cooper, y Jamaal Wilkes entre los jugadores de la época y personal administrativo como Claire Rothman, Charlene Kenney, Bob Steiner, and Mitch Kupchak
quienes niegan que el comportamiento del directivo haya sido remotamente parecido a lo que se observa en la serie.fuente

El gran salvador de la serie es John C Reilly cuya interpretación de Jerry Buss lleva el hilo conductor de la serie, el actor muestra un grán carisma interpretando a un millonario, hombre divorciado tratando de involucrarse e innovar en el mundo deportivo como el novato, ante una liga en decadencia en la cual el innova desde el punto de vista empresarial, paralelamente a la innovación del estilo de juego presentado por Magic Johnson y sus compañeros en la cancha, este ultimo intepretado de muy buena forma por el actor Quincy Isaiah.

Muy Disfrutable

Dejando los problemas de interpretación de personajes aparte, la serie es muy dinamica en su trama, a pesar que uno conoce la historia deportiva del equipo, sorprende y se hace entretenida aún para personas que no sean seguidoras del deporte, la serie es muy buena pero aclarando que es una ficción en la cual se agregan y omiten elementos con tal de captar la atención del espectador, y la mía la tuvo, por lo cual debo de admitir que si estoy esperando la segunda temporada de una serie aunque no tan apegada a la realidad es una gran dramatización en un contexto de baloncesto real.

Muchas Gracias por leer.

A series that has been criticized

The series does not show off the most sensationalist elements of the time, basing much of its plot on the problems and peculiarities of those characters of the heroic deeds, something that as a viewer keeps you entertained although it has a lot of negative criticism from the sports world for exposing a caricature of some characters such as the case of the great ex-player and manager Jerry West.

While it is known that West had some problems with his temper, the series shows him as a tormented man, focusing so much on it that the interpretation made by Jason Clarke seems a caricature of this person, it is simply not believable that in the corporate environment of the time a man with such behavior is kept and more knowing all the successes of the character being one of the most successful managers of basketball in its history apart from an excellent player, In particular as a basketball fan that is the part that prevents me from fully enjoying the series, it's good that they show the human side and yes, at that time there was a lot of fabric to cut behind the scenes that is the hook of the series but somehow in this particular case it feels forced. Pat Riley doesn't come off so well either, although with a better performance by Adrien Brody, who I personally consider a better actor than Clarke.

Al Respecto West has demanded a letter of apology from the show's producers, which was supported by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Cooper, and Jamaal Wilkes among the players of the time and management personnel such as Claire Rothman, Charlene Kenney, Bob Steiner, and Mitch Kupchak
who deny that the manager's behavior was remotely similar to what is seen in the series.source

The great savior of the series is John C Reilly whose interpretation of Jerry Buss carries the thread of the series, the actor shows a great charisma playing a millionaire, divorced man trying to get involved and innovate in the sports world as the rookie, before a league in decline in which he innovates from the business point of view, parallel to the innovation of the style of play presented by Magic Johnson and his teammates on the court, the latter played very well by the actor Quincy Isaiah.

Very enjoyable

The series is very dynamic in its plot, even though one knows the sports history of the team, it is surprising and entertaining even for people who are not fans of the sport, the series is very good but clarifying that it is a fiction in which elements are added and omitted in order to capture the attention of the viewer, and mine had it, so I must admit that if I'm waiting for the second season of a series although not so attached to reality is a great dramatization in a real basketball context.
