* RootingForTheEmpire: While the Celtics aren't ''evil'', they are the show's main antagonist thanks to their rivalry with the Lakers. Nonetheless, many viewers admitted to rooting for them in Season 2, primarily because they prefer Red Auerbach's and Larry Bird's no-nonsense approaches to the frequent squabbling and ego clashes by Jerry Buss and the Lakers players.

* AwardSnub: Despite its meticulously designed PeriodPiece setting and an excellent cast of seasoned veterans and newcomers, the first season only earned one Emmy nomination, for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (One Hour). One could argue that this was for the best, given just ''how many shows'' were out there vying for nominations (Emmy voters preferred fellow HBO shows ''Series/{{Succession}}'' and ''Series/{{Euphoria}}''), and the fact that its heavy ArtisticLicense and hyper-stylized look was bound to turn off a few viewers.

* SlowPacedBeginning: A common criticism of the show is that, despite being advertised as a series about the 1980s Lakers dynasty, the first four episodes are focused entirely on the lead up to the 1979-1980 season. In fact, by the end of the fourth episode, the team has only just started training camp.
