It sounds messy, the reported falling out between business partners Adam McKay and Will Ferrell.
The Academy Award-nominated director and the hugely talented comic actor, respectively, have collaborated on beloved laugh fests including 2004’s “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” and 2006’s “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.”
McKay is an executive producer on the consistently entertaining HBO dramedy series “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty,” debuting Sunday on HBO and HBO Max with its first of 10 hourlong episodes. It is based on Jeff Pearlman’s 2014, nearly 500-page tome, “Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s.”
