It’s finally showtime, baby.
Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty to the court as your next TV fixation. The HBO series, which debuts March 6, returns watchers to the charm and allure of the 1980s and the start of the NBA’s Showtime time.
Based on Jeff Pearlman’s top rated book Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s and leader delivered by Adam McKay, the show annals superstar Magic Johnson’s (Quincy Isaiah) rookie season after the team was purchased by the flashy Dr. Jerry Buss (John C. Reilly), who needed the games to more engage.
Adrian Brody, Jason Clarke, Jason Segel, Gaby Hoffmann and Sally Field also show up in the series, which fills in as the acting introduction for a long time its stars, including Isaiah as Johnson and Dr. Solomon Hughes as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. While they are playing two of the game’s unsurpassed greats in their first significant jobs, one Lakers legend’s child is playing his dad in Winning Time. No strain or anything.
