The New York Post reports:
Jerry West believes he has been wronged by the way he has been depicted in HBO’s “Winning Time” series about the 1980s Showtime Lakers and he wants it made right.
There's more:
The Hall of Famer and his legal team sent a letter to HBO and the show’s producer Adam McKay. The letter, which was obtained by ESPN, demanded an apology, a retraction and damages from the network. It claims the show has made a “baseless” and “malicious assault” on the character of the former Lakers player, coach and executive. It asks for a retraction, no later than two weeks from the receipt of the letter, and a public apology.
When Hollywood attempts history you should watch out.
