Anybody going to watch this? I'm not super knowledgeable about basketball, and it even looks interesting to me. Like the vibe and style of the show judging by the trailers.

You barely even have to dramatize all the wild shit going on in the 80s NBA from what I've heard so this should be great

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Yeah I knew I forgot to post the Trailer for this. The Lakers and the Celtics surely helped raise the fortunes of the NBA in the 80s especially Bird and Magic. They owned the NBA till Michael Jordan came knocking.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Had a good laugh reading the title of the documentary because I legit thought to myself, "Wait, which one, the 50s, 80s, or 2000s Dynasty?"

 

[Kairi HoHo]

I still need to see the first Season but here we are now for Season 2. So ah we've got the Bird vs Magic rivalry coming to the forefront. I'm confused though because the Lakers won the NBA Title in the 79/80 Season and the Celtics vs Lakers first meet in the Finals in 84. So were just skipping my Sixers whooping their asses in 83 after losing to them in 82 okay. Still they played each other in 84, 85, 87, so strap in people.

Tried watching......it stunk.

Was just Ballers in the 80s and might be the worse thing John C Reilly has been apart of......that wasn't that Will Ferrell Sherlocke movie.

On the first episode and already like it. Going to be a binge for me.
