The series is the second time Reilly, who portrays legendary Lakers owner Jerry Buss, has worked with executive producer McKay. The first was the beloved comedy film premieres in August. "Fatherhood is a big theme this season, you know, you see [it with] Kareem and Magic and Jerry and Larry Bird," Robinson shares. "Most characters actually deal with fathers or fatherhood or they are the father. But I think [the] relationship [between Jerry and Jeanie Buss] is explored deeper in this season.
He recalls:"Michael Jackson [got in] touch with Kobe Bryant and invited him over to Neverland and gave him advice. One of the things he said to him was when you get around people you admire, do not be a fan, be an interviewer and ask them every question that you think might be helpful on your journey. This is going to be your ammo for becoming the best you can be. And it really stuck with me.
"Quincy has a lot on his shoulders in carrying a show like this and he was baptized by fire," he pointed out."And I just think it's wonderful. He thrived, and I rooted for him all the way, and I watched him come into his own. But he always brought this humanity and his own joy that's very much relatable, and that represents Magic quite well."
"My father was a massive Red Auerbach fan, you know, that was his era when he was coaching. He was the man with the plan when I was coming up," he tells ET."He was president of the club at the time. So he was the architect, and I have been hearing about Red my whole life. So the idea of getting to play this guy... [it's] kind of crazy. And also a little like, 'Gulp..., better get this right.' I want to be able to go back [to Boston], you know? That kind of thing.
