Last week, Lakers legend Jerry West sent a letter to HBO demanding an apology and a retraction over how he’s depicted the network’s dramatization of the Lakers Showtime era, “Winning Time”. The letter was sent through West’s legal team and described the depiction of West in the show as “a deliberately false characterization that has caused great distress to Jerry and his family”.A few high profile Lakers, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson, have also condemned how the Lakers great is presented in the show.
