      @@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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    "I don't know where you got the idea you're a star, but you're not." Looked a grown man in the eye and told him that. The best coaches aren't afraid to call out their players when they start slipping. Tom Landry, Bill Parcells, Jimmy Johnson, Pat Riley, Phil Jackson...these men and others knew how to get the best out of their players and that's why they're all in the Hall of Fame.

    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.

    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
      @paullentz1972 Рік тому +1

      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.

    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.

    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.

    It's crazy to me they didn't at least bring back a season 3 to finish the 80s and resume the whole Celtic-Lakers rivalry. This was the best series going on on TV for a while and every episode knocked it out of the park. Maybe another can pick this up and start telling the Kobe years which were legendary and perfect for storytelling
