*Everyone has their own characters to love and hate—or in the case of Kobe Bryant, both loved and hated—but on this set it is clear Jeanie and Phil get to enjoy the most comfortable feeling of being the protagonists, the folks the viewers feel are inherently good and deserve to succeed. Others are not nearly as fortunate—obviously Lakers coach Mike DAntoni (character: Tom Sellecks greatest acting challenge to portray a spineless, losing pseudo-genius) and especially Jim Buss (character: derived from awkward cap-wearing brother Chris from Family Guy). Lets be fair to Jim, though: Jerry Buss was actually pretty clueless when he first started out running the Lakers, and he made plenty of mistakes. Jim has a blinding spotlight on a narrow catwalk, with his investment in great player Dwight Howard completely logical except for missing the angle Jerry figured out fast: invest in great players with character.*
