HBO defended its depiction of Jerry West in “Winning Time,” saying in a statement the series based on the Los Angeles Lakers and their 1980s championship days “is not a documentary and has not been presented as such.“ The statement is in response to a lengthy letter sent from West’s attorney, Skip Miller, to HBO, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO and “Winning Time” producers. In the letter, Miller, on West’s behalf, demanded a retraction and apology.
