A flashy mashup of Boogie Nights and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' song "Magic Johnson." Contains no real life Lakers, but with the way they've been playing lately this is surely a big time plus. A cornball cornucopia of combovers, silicone, and illegal fun under the Cali sun. Glamour Professionals, for sure. Trippy camera work with more tricks than Sunset Strip. Snappy scripts with whiplash one-liners abound, as does some damn fine acting by both familiar faces and newcomers alike. It's awesome to see the late, great Jack McKinney, one of the NBA's most beautiful minds, finally get some degree of ennoblement. Most folks don't even remember him, though without him the fast break, showtime offense and Lakers Dynasty simply would never have existed. Watch this and pine for the halcyon days when basketball was a fun team sport and not an ungodly blob of bloated egos sliming up otherwise good wood.
