Attorneys for Lakers legend Jerry West have demanded a retraction from HBO over his portrayal on 'Winning Time,' calling it 'a deliberately false characterization.'
Los Angeles Lakers legends Jerry West and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are none to pleased about their portrayals on the hit HBO series"Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty."
"Winning Time" chronicles the early 1980s Showtime Lakers following the purchase of the franchise by Jerry Buss and the drafting of Magic Johnson. "The Jerry West in `Winning Time' bears no resemblance to the real man," the letter said."The real Jerry West prided himself on treating people with dignity and respect. 'Winning Time' is a baseless and malicious assault on Jerry West's character. You reduced the legacy of an 83-year old legend and role model to that of a vulgar and unprofessional bully -- the polar opposite of the real man.
