if Showtime gets this show there’s no doubt it my mind we’d make it all the way to Kobe and Shaq. They’d fukk around and go 10 season just to get us to the bubble chip.
‘Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty’ Season 2 Thread | HBO
- Thread starter Lootpack
- Start date
a damn shame a show about the rise of the Lakers ended on Boston winning and we obviously didn't get to see Magic's arc fully fleshed out
loved it for what it was though
we're in such a prestige drama era that it was good to see a show with some fukkin razzle dazzle and charisma oozing out the screen with some great acting to good with it.
the Jerry West portrayal killed me.. actor that played him sprinkled in that "fukkin" superbly every single time
nearly everybody killed it but a quick mention for Jason Segal.. when I see Jason Segal in things I always feel like I'm watching Jason Segal play a sappy version of himself to the point you don't get invested and see him as the character he's playing but in season two of this he put his working boots on

Damn shame it had to end like this. Not just the cancelation, but the last two episodes were duds. Too much Cookie, too much Auerbach, too much of Buss's storyline away from the Lakers.
Thought the first season was just okay, but this season was really going places with the rise of Riles and Bird/Magic coming into focus.

We already had the bookend. It was Magic announcing he was HIV positive.
Showtime doesn’t end their shows fam…
I know Magic somewhere is like

He is the family friendly Magic now but back then he was
All the players were really against this show.
Only Jeanie said good things about this show, but I know she had some
say since they gave her a good edit.
You really think the would have run this series until the Shaq and Kobe era?

The show barely got into the debauchery Magic was on back then. This could have been an all timer,. instead shyt ends with a montage.
YES niccaYou really think the would have run this series until the Shaq and Kobe era?

Dude, rememberIf we're being honest the show fell off after season one. shyt didn't feel the same.
Outside of the Magic HIV reveal there just wasn't much road left to go. Celtics win a chip one year, Lakers win a chip another year...only so far that shyt can get you.
The Magic/Cookie shyt was
We needed more 80s depravity.
I knew it was a wrap when the author of the book was on Twitter begging people to watch.
Kareem retires
Riley gets fired/leaves
The rise of the Bad Boy Pistons
Celebrities around at all-times
Buss & Magic's descent into depravity at the Forum Club
Hell, you could even touch somewhat on Magic & Bird playing together on the "Dream Team"
i have a lot of thoughts on this.
it goes back to when i was watching the lakers documentary on apple last summer.
i'll say more at a later time, but regardless of anything, it pisses me off when shows get cancelled like this. it makes me not want to start anything.

So much reality tv trash and they cancel this? I swear this industry is retarded.
They would’ve spent 3 seasons on the 16-17 Lakers.
Yeah. Dude that wrote the book on this era also did one on that era. They could’ve did some time jumps to get there.You really think the would have run this series until the Shaq and Kobe era?
