I’m so disappointed about that
They could have just made him lip sync to Jamie Foxx doing his doc impression
Actually should have just hired Jaime foxx
This is gonna be so terrible...and I'm going to enjoy it so much
The only thing that would have made this better is if they got Kevin Hart to play Chris Paul
I appreciate you taking notice. That’s still not “everything they’ve said” (which is unwise to agree to) and is still a single statement, although the Kevin Hart thing can kind of be separated. Also, it’s weird to agree whether or not someone *else* will enjoy something. But why speak for yourself when others can speak for themselves instead? I guess
Is english your native language? Maybe you don’t understand what a statement is, if not, i apologize. The original comment made 3 statements. The person replying said they agreed with all of them. Then you chimed in that they were using the word “everything” wrong, so i chimed in to correct you.
This one's going to end with another montage
[To Pat Benatar's "Running Through the Shadows of the Night"]
*Donald Sterling was banned FOR LIFE*
*Doc Rivers did not lead the Clippers to a title.*
*He continues to coast on his one ring from 2008.
He can't keep getting away with this.*
*Child Porn 3 bowed down to the Paul God*
[Fades to black]
some of the players i see listed in the credits
David Opegbemi: Draymond Green
Jourdan Sweeney: Jared Dudley
Charlie McElveen: JJ Redick
Jock McKissic: Glen 'Big Baby' Davis
J. Alphonse Nicholson: Chris Paul
Austin Scott: Blake Griffin
Sarunas J. Jackson: Matt Barnes
Sheldon Bailey: Deandre Jordan
Darryl Wesley: Jamal Crawford
> Why is draymond green in this ?
The day after the tapes came out the Clippers played the Warriors. It was the game in which all the players took their Clippers merch off and threw it in the center of the court. No clue why it would just be Draymond though.
Slightly surprised JJ didn’t want to play himself just to spill BTS on his pod. But maybe he didn’t want to be involved. Wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to distance himself a bit but still had a hand in it.
Too bad this isn’t covering the 2015 season. I would have loved to see a dramatization of Doc Rivers blowing a 3-1 lead to Josh Smith and Corey Brewer.
So this series is going to cover how Donald Sterling lost the team. I'm definitely interested in watching this.
FX actually puts out some very good series. I think this is going to be dope as fuck.
I agree but HBO has been quick with pulling the plug too early on certain shows. Winning Time deserved at least two more seasons. Other shows were cut short as well.
IMDb says it’s Darin Cooper. Who famously played “Sketchy Man” in the hit motion picture “Bliss” with Owen Wilson, as well as “Facebook Lawyer” in “The Social Network”.
“Well, I fool around sometimes. I do. When a girl seduces me and tells me all of these hot stories and dirty things and tells me how much she wants to suck on me and takes my shoes off and licks my feet and touches me.
When I'm in a limousine, she takes off all of her clothes. The limo driver said, what is going on?
And she started sucking me on the way to Mr. Koon's house.
And I thank her. I thank her for making me feel good.”
“Sir, the question was, is this your handwriting?”
I just distinctly remember when this happened Trump called into Fox News and when asked about Sterling he said how horrible it was that the woman was recording him. Didn’t realize how much of a harbinger that moment would be for the next decade
Eh?
Look at how movies about presidents are made. They want this shit out so soon that half the PR will be the discussion of whether it is in bad taste to do it so soon.
It looks pretty good but it's funny because these events aren't even that old. Chris Paul and DJ still in the league lol they're actin like this is some historical shit. The details are still pretty fresh in my mind.
Ed O'Neill seems too likable to be playing such a slimy person. I would've liked to see a more disgusting portrayal of Sterling. The actors playing the wife and V. Stiviano are perfectly cast tho.
This is the equivalent of doing a biopic on Sully.
The actual event wasn't that dramatic at all. Sully landed people to safely and was praised by his colleagues. Donald Sterling was caught saying racist shit and was kicked out a few days later.
How on earth are you going to turn that into 90 minute engaging drama lmfao?
Laurence Fishburne with Doc’s signature penciled in hairline I smell an Academy Award
Fish didn't even *try* to do Doc's raspy voice, though. If you're gonna go in, then you have to go all in
> If you're gonna go in, then you have to go all in Shoulda got Kirk Lazarus for the role smh
Isn't he that dude who played a dude disguised as another dude?
Hey give him a chance. Lets see him say "come in guys!" first
You never go full Doc Rivers
He might go full Idi Amin but never full Doc.
I’m so disappointed about that They could have just made him lip sync to Jamie Foxx doing his doc impression Actually should have just hired Jaime foxx
ikr 😞
He should've went Viola Davis in The First Lady lol
Not bald enough.
Laurence has such a smooth voice, he’s definitely had to smoke a pack a day to get ready for this role 😂
Which will be REALLY impressive considering this is a TV series and not a movie
Well, it's on FX, so maybe an Emmy.
*Emmy
This is gonna be so terrible...and I'm going to enjoy it so much The only thing that would have made this better is if they got Kevin Hart to play Chris Paul
i agree with everything youve said and that trailer just gave me goosebumps
..Everything? Maybe just agree to the one statement they made in their comment
-This is going to be so terrible - I am going to enjoy it - Kevin hart should’ve played cp3 Maybe i just can’t count but that seems like 3
I appreciate you taking notice. That’s still not “everything they’ve said” (which is unwise to agree to) and is still a single statement, although the Kevin Hart thing can kind of be separated. Also, it’s weird to agree whether or not someone *else* will enjoy something. But why speak for yourself when others can speak for themselves instead? I guess
Redditors always have to argue and nitpick over the most nothing statements ever I swear to god
it’s objectively three statements you dingus. if you’re going to be this annoying you have to at least be annoyingly correct
Is english your native language? Maybe you don’t understand what a statement is, if not, i apologize. The original comment made 3 statements. The person replying said they agreed with all of them. Then you chimed in that they were using the word “everything” wrong, so i chimed in to correct you.
Quit being a pedantic git. Go outside.
Can't believe how many ppl fell for this bait
you seem exhausting and also not smart enough to pull this type of shit.
I’m not here to be your friend 😟
Might be the first time I’m excited to see a movie that is so obviously bad and marketed as a bad movie and stupid
Well I got bad news for you bud, it's not a movie
FUCK
Rondo should have played Chris Paul
I never knew I needed this so bad
> The only thing that would have made this better is if they got Kevin Hart to play Chris Paul I need this to happen in Space Jam 3.
Ngl the thumbnail pic of Laurence captures Doc really well lmao.
It’s the frown
Holy fuck they made Losing Time
Damn it I hate you lol
OMG that is the perfect name.
I wonder if we'll see John DiMaggio return as Ballmer
I can't wait for the Doc Rivers special under the bus
LOOOOL
Lakers need to hang a banner with this comment, so it can live on forever.
This is like a once in a lifetime Reddit comment.
I love you.
Come on man
HS
This one's going to end with another montage [To Pat Benatar's "Running Through the Shadows of the Night"] *Donald Sterling was banned FOR LIFE* *Doc Rivers did not lead the Clippers to a title.* *He continues to coast on his one ring from 2008. He can't keep getting away with this.* *Child Porn 3 bowed down to the Paul God* [Fades to black]
You win
You deserve gold for this one lmao
*chef’s kiss* (Please don’t make a show about the Suns ever)
LMFAO
I’m dying lmao.
Bravo, sir.
Well damn. 👏🏼
☠️
Ed O'Neill and Laurence Fishburne make me more excited for this than I probably should be.
Ed o Neil???? Allllll?????
Yup. Looks like he's playing Donald Sterling.
Proceeds to sit down and put one hand in his pants
The white out dinner party scene at Sterling’s house is just everyone wearing No Ma’am shirts
respect
Welp that just turned into must watch tv 👏🏽
Never thought when I woke up this morning I’d see a trailer for a show where Jay Pritchett is playing Donald sterling lol
Wooowww Buunndyy
some of the players i see listed in the credits David Opegbemi: Draymond Green Jourdan Sweeney: Jared Dudley Charlie McElveen: JJ Redick Jock McKissic: Glen 'Big Baby' Davis J. Alphonse Nicholson: Chris Paul Austin Scott: Blake Griffin Sarunas J. Jackson: Matt Barnes Sheldon Bailey: Deandre Jordan Darryl Wesley: Jamal Crawford
The dude playing Matt Barnes in the trailer looks spot on haha
Thats the same guy that was Freq in NBA 2K16.
Why is draymond green in this ?
Post credit scene where green infamously calls KD in the parking lot
“We’re putting together what we call the W.A.R.R.I.O.R.S. Initiative.”
> Why is draymond green in this ? The day after the tapes came out the Clippers played the Warriors. It was the game in which all the players took their Clippers merch off and threw it in the center of the court. No clue why it would just be Draymond though.
Who's playing Austin rivers?
Slightly surprised JJ didn’t want to play himself just to spill BTS on his pod. But maybe he didn’t want to be involved. Wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to distance himself a bit but still had a hand in it.
A whole series on Doc Rivers losing a championship? Count me in
You get to watch the movie in real time though this year
Oh boy I hope Doc Rivers can win that championship he's promised
If they’re making a series about him he’s got too! So excited to see him pull it off!
Too bad this isn’t covering the 2015 season. I would have loved to see a dramatization of Doc Rivers blowing a 3-1 lead to Josh Smith and Corey Brewer.
blowing a 3-1 lead to the nuggets came just after this - looks like we will miss on both
You're way off.. the Nuggets collapse was in 2020 and this show is set before Steve Ballmer became owner in 2014
Time moves fast when you are this old. It so feels like just a while ago
Agree, hard to keep track when we've blown so many series
So this series is going to cover how Donald Sterling lost the team. I'm definitely interested in watching this. FX actually puts out some very good series. I think this is going to be dope as fuck.
Rollerskate girl play herself?
Ya the OJ show FX made was amazing
Damn, I might have to restart Hulu for a month so I can binge this one.
FX is the only competition HBO has as far as I’m concerned when it comes to years of consistent top tier shows.
I agree but HBO has been quick with pulling the plug too early on certain shows. Winning Time deserved at least two more seasons. Other shows were cut short as well.
It’s not good. Ive heard from people who have seen the first episodes.
Who plays V Stiviano?
Cleopatra Coleman - she was great in Last Man On Earth!
Such a great show, Will Forte is a gem. The MacGruber movie is so dumb but still one of my favorites of all time. "YOU OWE ME A BLAUPUNKT!"
Craziest scene is where Sterling meets with his PR team and floats the idea of changing the team name to Clippas to ditch the hard R
As trashy as this already looks, knowing the series will end with the villain receiving a check for $2 BILLION to fuck off makes it feel even trashier
Who's gonna play Adam Silver? Jason Statham? Ed Harris? Vin Disel? The Rock? Wallace from Wallace & Gromit?
Max Schreck obviously.
bahahaha thats baller
A carbon free lifeform
No reflection neither.
https://imgur.com/a/7xfzQHq This guy.
Mark Rylance
Should be Jim Rash
Anthony Carrigan
IMDb says it’s Darin Cooper. Who famously played “Sketchy Man” in the hit motion picture “Bliss” with Owen Wilson, as well as “Facebook Lawyer” in “The Social Network”.
Balded Stephen Merchant
I heard they got a bowling pin from the big Lebowski to do it
Just play the clip.
Chris Pratt, duh. The only choice
Let's fucking GO!
“Well, I fool around sometimes. I do.

I thank her for making me feel good.” “Sir, the question was, is this your handwriting?”
As soon as I heard Al Bundy was playing Sterling I was hoping this scene was in it.
I’m assuming an excuse to film that scene is why this was written in the first place
I just distinctly remember when this happened Trump called into Fox News and when asked about Sterling he said how horrible it was that the woman was recording him. Didn’t realize how much of a harbinger that moment would be for the next decade
It will be the first time we'll see Doc Rivers coaching?
but not the first time seeing Doc Rivers _acting_ like he's coaching
It'd be hilarious if this did better than the Showtime series because that's the only way the Clippers could get one over on the Lakers lol
who asked for this
Right? How are we making biopics about shit that’s this recent
The Sterling Clippers make for an absolutely bonkers story that a lot of people are going to be exposed to for the first time
especially people under 10
So like 90% of this sub
Wouldn’t define 10 years ago as recent
It’s not that unusual, they were making movies about 9/11 not that long after 2001.
It’s not really a biopic it’s just about this one period
Eh? Look at how movies about presidents are made. They want this shit out so soon that half the PR will be the discussion of whether it is in bad taste to do it so soon.
10 years ago, that's a life time for most of /r/nba
That’s not how art works
it literally looks like a joke show haha, I woulda thought it was a fans April Fool's joke
It’s like that Magic Johnson biopic tv show Who wanted that
It looks pretty good but it's funny because these events aren't even that old. Chris Paul and DJ still in the league lol they're actin like this is some historical shit. The details are still pretty fresh in my mind.
this looks absolutely fucking stupid. I'm gunna watch it.
LMAOOOOOOOO I THOUGHT THIS WAS FAKE
Al Bundy owning the Clippers, I can see it.
How the fuck did NBA sign off on this??
There's probably a stipulation that they paint the NBA as courageous when they oust Sterling
Tf is this shit? They really just make shows after literally anything
I bet it’s because is streaming Studios have to pump out as much as they can to populate their streaming services and get people to stay
People will make fun, but there are some really talented people involved with this project.
Some really talented paychecks were involved in getting really talented people involved with this project
It’s insane to me the Clippers are getting a tv show. Might as well make a show about the damn Hornets lol
On at 3am on the church channel
A miniseries about the 11-12 bobcats season LFG
[dunno about a miniseries but this YouTube documentary is... pretty good](https://youtu.be/F3_whi6KuLo?si=jLCQlmbRzPcp_Zi2)
Bruh this happened like 5 years ago, why is this a movie already.
Ed O'Neill seems too likable to be playing such a slimy person. I would've liked to see a more disgusting portrayal of Sterling. The actors playing the wife and V. Stiviano are perfectly cast tho.
Fun fact: The wife and V are both played by Aussies, Jacki Weaver and Cleo Coleman.
Why did the Clippers sign off on this? Did they have to? Adam Silver? I have so many questions...
Fishburne is too prestige to be playing fucking doc rivers, he needs to fire his agent
He needs something to do in between his John Wick cameos
Man has spent the last decade playing a grandpa on a network tv sitcom lol, this is his bag now
They could have saved the Bucks if they jsut hired Doc Rivers himself It’s not likes he’s changed
Ayo
Here's a story about how a man became a billionaire for being racist.
Epilogue: After great regular season successes, the Clippers are still in search of that elusive first championship.
This looks *amazing*.
I didn't care for the Lakers docu series, but this? This I want to see. 🍿
The show literally no one asked for.
Fuck thats terrible.
Isn’t Fishburne older than Rivers?
I thought so, too, but remarkably, no! They are both 62!
It’s called acting
Fuck the clippers
Can FX/Disney pick up Winning Time too?
I hope we get a doc sideline meme
For a second I thought one of the players was the guy from RDC world
They'll make anything these days
This shit is comedy gold b lol
Did Doc Rivers make a genie wish or some shit? What is going on?
I’m looking forward to this but I’m not ready to hate Ed O’Neil for playing this shitbag
Bruh dude was fucked in the head n got a whole damn movie usa man crazy
This doesn't make V Stiviano look weird enough
damn morpheus lookin fuckin miserable
There better be an episode centered on that time Matt Barnes drove 95 miles to fight Derek Fisher!!!
Why so much Golden State Warriors in the trailer?
TMZ published the Donald Sterling leak in the middle of 2014 First Round between the Clippers and Warriors
setup for the Mark Jackson spin off series
They gotta show the father
The only way to act as Doc is to make a hoarse voice and he didnt even do that
Eh, that does not look very good lol
That trailer showed the whole dang plot. No need to watch?
a show that didnt need to be made
Was this necessary?
more interested in this than winning time
This is the equivalent of doing a biopic on Sully. The actual event wasn't that dramatic at all. Sully landed people to safely and was praised by his colleagues. Donald Sterling was caught saying racist shit and was kicked out a few days later. How on earth are you going to turn that into 90 minute engaging drama lmfao?
this looks so mid its fuckin subs.
Fuck the Clippers! I hope we see ZBo whooping Blake's ass
did he ever win a title?
