In this Best of The Herd, best-selling sports novelist Jeff Pearlman stops in studio to discuss the contrasting state of the Lakers from a few decades ago and now, Jerry West's portrayal in HBO's "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty," creative liberties taken in the series, and the next book he would like to see made into a television series or movie.

Also, it's the Boston Celtics that are rising to the top in the Eastern Conference Finals.  That's no surprise to Colin--he's been expecting this Boston team to round into form for a while now.
