I mean Jason Segel even looks like Westhead. Reilly looked like Buss. The actors for the players were good (except for the 50 year old man playing Spencer Heywood) as well for parts that had to be really hard to cast.
The casting was across the board aces.
And I re-read Showtime last week and I really think the bitching about the portrayal of West is over the top at this point.
Look - there's a real good chance that West was a gigantic asshole and it comes through loud and clear if you read that book listening for the moments that led to that conclusion.
And like I said earlier - it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. This is like 5 years after he was one of the fiercest players on the court and a savage competitor.
