Chris Broussard and Rob Parker Have Heated Debate on Jerry West Demanding Apology From Winning Time 

He's clearly lying. Rob is a professional journalist. I'm pretty sure he takes pride is his ability as a journalist. If there was a tv show that depicted him as an idiot in his capacity as a journalists he would be pissed. And if regular people who watched that tv show came to the conclusion that Rob was an idiot based on that tv show, he would be pissed.

Haha for real

I do understand Mr. West wanting an apology, but good luck getting one. The show is still fantastic.

@@uberhikari he doesn't need a TV show; listening to this podcast pretty much confirms he's an idiot if he thinks what the show is doing is okay. It's one thing for a TV show to dramatize an event by using a different person's name with his likeness, but it's another thing to actually use Jerry's name and portray him as a neurotic clown. An example how it would be wrong is if when the show gets to the part where Magic announces he has HIV, it suggests that he got it from sexual activities with a man or he was using drugs with a shared needle. It would be wrong because that's not what happened, and it would be wrong because it further promotes the myth that HIV was a gay/druggie disease.

@@uberhikari wasn’t Kareem in the movie Airplane playing himself playing an airline pilot being really rude to a kid?

He’s the worst, it leads to so many of his bad takes

Pretty much the whole time Chris is talking you can tell Rob is playing on his phone. He is NOT even paying attention..

It's a work of fiction loosely based on true events, they put the disclaimer in every show......Why niggaz acting slow, it's not a reality show or a documentary...

Exactly. So he's suing them. Good luck with that.

The crazy part is they didn't have to do Jerry like that

Yeah you can feel some type of way but a bitch says they expect an apology and sues the other person. That's a pathetic bitch move. Grow up Jerry West. Be a mature adult.

I don't see why Jerry West is the focal point. They did EVERYBODY dirty in that series so far except the Buss family.

Those two things aren’t the same.

@The Nfl is NOTHING without Tom Brady! !!! Whitlock is a clown, those situations are not comparable whatsoever

@@Jmw357 how are they so different then ?

@@SkinsFan902 The truth hurts sometimes

@@SkinsFan902 Whitlock is doing more on his own than these two ever done by themselves

You should never be with rob over Chris. Rob is a whack job

Rob is most time wrong. I bet with him on Brady too. By being the loat. U know damn well Brady is the goat

That why him and skip are best friends

🎯💯

Don't forget Rob lives in Skip Bayless's world, one of the biggest hypocrites of all time. On the real side.

Nah. He is just being a Troll 😈

Old fried bologna eating ass dude🤣🤣🤣

lmfao broussard got him with that one

That was a good shot lol

But it is true! Jerry west was super passionate about basketball! He was super hot tempered when things didnt go his way. There's nothing about being a hot head when you're young. Ofcourse jerry eventually grew out of it (because of age) Jerry is now know as a god when hes an executive.

@@gunkmasterflex942 You talk as if Jerry West was a young immature hotheaded man, but he was like 42 yrs old by 1980. You really don't know much about him, just shhh....

No. Rob is right. It's not the production companies fault that people who watch the show are stupid.

@@zacharykendall9653 The smartest person in the world couldn't watch that and decipher what is true and what is made up.

Fact

Gangsta behind tha phone🤣🤣

After hearing stories how Chris put hands and feet on one of his teammates in college. I don't want no problems with that man.

Studio gangster..

@@cease25 Me neither. I call him Crunk Chris.That does is wild.

@@cease25man whatever. I don’t care if your Mike Tyson in his prime, you disrespect me or call me out I’m defending myself

Huge difference between a documentary and a TV show

@Beery stop yes he is lol

I dont think magic kareem or west have seen the show except some selective clips....none of them are portrayed in a negative light at all....all of them are complex characters in the series

Its not a true story they had a disclaimer. Take everything you see in the show with a grain of salt. If it was a outright documentary with actors to play out actual events you would have a point

@@kingshottah4429 They should change the names of these characters then. You shouldn't be able to use the real names of living people and falsely represent them. You are slandering them because there will be many people who take these fictionalized shows as facts. It happens all the time with fictionalized dramatizations and is why they usually have to change the names in those stories. They could call him "Harry East" or something like that. This was a mistake by the show runners.

It’s still defamation of character by the letter of the law.

@@bbginc694 No, no it is not.

You have a right to feel a certain way about it, but it doesn't mean the people making it don't have the right to make it as long as it makes clear its only based on true events. That's what Chris is arguing (though trying not to seem like he is), and it is absolutely anathema to freedom of expression and speech.

Rob is a fool so he won’t understand lol

@Jim Brave No one's saying it's against the law but that it is morally wrong and Jerry West is allowed to ask for a public apology.

Truth

Facts

"Look bad" is subjective, he's not portrayed as an idiot or overly awful, Chris is wrong, they clearly don't show anything about any of his future picks, not sure where that came from or that he was bad at his job, he seems more like an overly competitive person dealing with a career of loss and struggling to let go. He's a comedy relief character but these shows need that otherwise they would be unwatchable.

@MoXy making him look like a drunk bumbling idiot is not subjective, it’s very damaging to his character.

ROTFLMFAO!! @ "Drama" Dramedy is more like it, and NEWSFLASH They are not to me taken seriously. Personally I think the Show sucks and have yet to see anything by Mckay that doesn't suck but this whole controversy is ridiculous. WTF gets their panties in a bunch over their portrayal in an Adam Mckay movie?

@@bbginc694 He's portrayed as an overly passionate constantan loser struggling to let go, he's not drunk all the time, in fact I barely remember the scene you're referencing, he's had tantrums and thrown a trophy through a window while trying to do the right thing. If you see his portrayal as bad/damaging, you're extremely soft/way too pc. Churchill wasn't always drunk and insulting people, he also wasn't mad when he was caricatured as such.

@@pycellesbeard9728 Also Step Brothers and Anchor-man are fantastic, Ant-Man is okay too so whatever your personal issue is with Mckay, maybe keep it to yourself

Yea seriously how are people supposed to know what's true and what is false . Yea their is a disclaimer but how are we supposed to know what is true and what isn't its not all false and its not all true unless you know before hand your goina consider it all true

Lol do you know rob is a professor at UCLA? He lectures about broadcasting. Rob gets paid for hot takes.... .... wait ....did you not know that the majority of robs takes are all about creating controversy

You all need to watch "The people Vs. Larry Flynt"

@@Lefthandrightband There’s a disclaimer take everything in the show with a grain of salt what is there to not understand

He already makes himself look like a complete clown, maybe it wouldn’t bother him that much.

@Jim Brave I actually agree with Broussard. If I was portrayed poorly in a series, I'd be pissed off and I'd be suing too for defamation. I was just saying that Rob Parker is a clown, he don't need any extra help to look like one.

All true here. So, Mr. West can sue, he lives in America where you can sue anyone for anything. Good luck winning tho. I noticed that "hundreds of thousands of years ago" statement too. I laughed. History isn't his thing, remember he's religious!

"Should" is the key word there. For a guy like Jerry West, who is the logo and will be referenced pretty much forever, "should" isn't good enough and I'm with him being upset because frankly I believe most people see dramatization as just a disclaimer that the actors obviously aren't the real people and that the film is filling in some gaps creatively but otherwise what they are displaying is true. I mean, true crime shows are dramatizations a lot of the time but they are supposed to be portraying how the story really went. How do you separate the two when they use that same word and doing different things with it.

This is all that I'm saying and it doesn't take away from the "story" being good as hell to boot.

@@vibratinghigher3466 it's really not that good. I watch it because I'm a huge fan of John C. Reilly, but Kareem is right when he says it's boring and deliberately dishonest. The characters are all caricatures of themselves, and the writing is really unimaginative. The show is lucky that it has an outstanding cast.

@@Hienieken Kareem is boring and dishonest himself look it up and trust me it’s not…..more people like it than don’t

@@tommyduran7575 it’s average at best, no one is going to rewatch it. And Kareem is a civil rights legend, you sound dumb. Kareem has never been on the wrong side of history.

Right

nope

Though I get you analysis if that is the only way West is portrayed, then you'd be correct. However you can't disregard that the basis of the story is from a book that interviewed a lot of people from that era as well. If you only take into account the accounts by Jeanie, Magic, West etc. they will only give the good side of things and as we all know that isn't always the case. An example, Norm Nixon gave a detailed account of the verbal beatdown's West handed down on him when he was new to the team back in '83. Magic would routinely boast about his many female encounters publicly as well. Though this isn't an accurate account that HBO is portraying, is sure as hell isn't as inaccurate as the Lakers are trying to say it is either.

@@rodrigosanchez2537 i haven't watched the series nor do i have a really good idea in my mind of the type of person Jerry West is, especially not who he was 40 years ago. i'm just saying i can't agree with Rob that you can just put a little disclaimer and then portray real life people in any way you want. the same way people got mad when they made Bruce Lee look like a cocky, condescending-douchebag in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and people got mad about that. even though that movie was even a way more fictitious portrayal of real & made-up characters.

Nope. Only one of them is right.

Facts

@@danielcastillo9587 Bozo 🤡

@The Nfl is NOTHING without Tom Brady! !!! William Wallace was not killed like Mel Gibson in Braveheart, friggin dummy.

@The Nfl is NOTHING without Tom Brady! !!! no I didn't live in the 12th century nor the '70s, but if not true should West be flattered at being seen as an incompetent, drunk, violent, cartoon character?

@The Nfl is NOTHING without Tom Brady! !!! Ok Troll

😂😂😂😂😂

Lmao, nah, they need Seth Curry to play Broussard. Then get Don Cheadle to play Parker.

Lol how can YOU say they didn’t defamed anybody when the main character is saying they defamed him

@@smugz1219 Because the media makes these idiots think that their opinion matters more than the actual person who really matters

By just about every account Jerry West was nothing like he's being portrayed like not even close.

@@anthonyanderson9303 I think they took West's one known trait, his anxiety, and they over-emphasized it to the point where he's depicted as a clown.

@@Hienieken perhaps, but the cussing people out and breaking windows? There's been a report of him being like that. He's pretty soft spoken. I get certain scenes we'll never know like him showing up at that bar during a funeral reception after they won the 72 finals. That was a good scene but I have no clue how accurate that is.

They don’t need to be on tv, radio and YT is fine. First thing first is whack though

Naw I like First thing first when Broussard is on

@@bbginc694 they actually on Fox Sports Radio

Agreed

He not dumb in the show

You havent seen the show he is not a drunk idiot at all in the series

Yes I have bruh that first two episodes are def what he’s pissed ab

Naw you haven’t watched the show and you don’t know him personally either to call him nice lol.

Yup, most younger LA people are idiots that believe anything their screens tell them.

But if they're using his literal name and persona, it's basically defamation, no?

@@TheShepdawg9 it is. Legally he can pull the entire show off the air. Putting a warning label over doesn't make you not liable

And here I was embarrassed that bad 90s Godzilla made me think iguanas could reproduce asexually until I was 12. 🤣

@@kyletucker3811 yea according to Chris, Godzilla should sue

Lmao 😂

Magic admitted to Oprah that he had sex with multiple women at the same time 🤣.

He actually did do that. That's apparently how he got aids.

😂😂

Eh that's a matter of opinion. Even documentaries misconstrue the truth. Don't get me wrong, it was great, but there's very clear slants to portray things in a certain light. Whenever watching a documentary you have to ask who it's for, who is producing it, and what they want from it. Otherwise you'll take things at face value that might not be quite that way.

My point is everything that happened actually happened. You can argue if things were portrayed favorably to one person or another but all the events in the last dance actually happened. That's not even debatable.

Def not

Not… Really? Pat Riley, and Jeanie Buss have also been portrayed poorly

@@seen3804 How has Jeannie been portrayed so far?

@@seen3804 actually if you look up how Pat Riley was in the late 70's it's pretty accurate. He was a long haired hippy before getting the Lakers head coaching job. The slick back hair and Versace suits came later.

Maybe bcuz it’s a comedy

@Jim Brave NO, it's a comedy, made by Americans.

@Jim Brave This SHOW isn't saying "something about someone". This is a TV show that is loosely based on the ShowTime Lakers. The thing is, I know the difference between a documentary and a TV show. Jerry West is suing them. Let's see how far he gets with his suit.

@Jim Brave You sound like a lot of family of mine from Baltimore who were complaining about one of the best series of all time, The Wire. They whined and cried all 5 seasons saying, "It's not like that, that person didn't act like that, that's not how it was done.....". They, just like Winning Time, put a disclaimer up before every show starts. I do understand Mr. Wests position, but he lives in America where you can sue whoever for whatever. Good luck on your suit sir.

😂😂😂

Except those are obviously parody sketches. This show wasn't designed to be same and likes to portray itself as a biopic.

@@atlien1988 even biopics dont claim to be real, just realistic… only a documentary should be held to such scrutiny

@@Dc225_ you're living in an unrealistic scenario. The problem is that the greater public who don't know much basketball history will judge west based off of this series. The story is based on true events, with real names, and so absolute I'd be pissed if I was Jerry West.

@@TheShepdawg9 you dont know what kind of scenario im living in… if the “greater public” is dumb enough to think that this tv show is real, thats their problem. I understand why Jerry West is mad, and thats his right… but its just how entertainment works, he is far from the only one who has to deal with it

@@Dc225_ so if a tv show used your name, persona, etc, and made you out to be a rapist, you'd be fine? After all, it's just entertainment.
