    The show isn’t getting the love it DESERVES so far! Cast, writers, set directors,are all killing it. It’s been my favorite show this year and there’s been some bangers so far (OZARK, Book of Boba Fett, You, Righteous Gemstones, Peacemaker, etc.)

    Don’t get me wrong, KAJ should be able to feel some kind of way about this series, BUT I don’t think he should snub the actor playing him. Why not meet him and see for yourself how talented he is and how super cool he seems to be in real life.

    Its really interesting how they play with heights in this show. Solomon is truly tall but some of the other players/retired player actors are not. The scenes with the Pat Riley character and his wife for example make him look more than a foot taller, which is not at all true of the actors themselves.

      By far the worst so far. Both in physical looks and personality. Also bad is Spencer Haywood. Actor is fine, but Haywood was 30 in 1979 and the actor looks (and is) 50.

      @@SImSZN I get it, people looked much older in the 70s. It would be fine if this actor looked 40 or even 42-43. But he actually does look 50. The only think that saves the role is that the actor is very good (though not pulling off 6'9'' - it's hilarious how the actors are so much smaller than the real guys).
