Jerry West has a problem with his portrayal in HBOs new series Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.

The former Los Angeles Lakers player and executive has demanded a retraction and an apology from HBO, arguing that the series showcases him as an out-of-control, intoxicated rage-a-holic, according to ESPN.

Wests attorney sent a letter to HBO and producer Adam McKay on Tuesday night calling the shows representation of him a baseless and malicious assault. The letter, which was obtained by ESPN , asks for a retraction in addition to a public apology.

The portrayal of NBA icon and L.A. Lakers legend Jerry West in Winning Time is fiction pretending to be fact a deliberately false characterization that has caused great distress to Jerry and his family, said Skip Miller, an attorney representing West.
