Lots of NBA fans can't wait to watch Winning Time, the HBO show about the 1980s Lakers dynasty. But it's not on Magic Johnson's radar. 'I’m not looking forward to it. I’m going to leave it at that.'
Magic Johnson is not looking forward to Adam McKay's Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. HBO's upcoming sports drama/dark comedy television series, written by Max Borenstein and directed by McKay, details the story of how the Los Angeles Lakers became the most successful professional basketball team in the 1980s. John C.
Initially discussed as Showtime, named after the Jeff Pearlman book, Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s, that inspired the series, it was later titled Winning Time in order to avoid any misperceptions relative to HBO's competitor.
With the success of television projects like The Last Dance, the observation of the Chicago Bull's rise in the 1990s, led by Michael Jordan, it is clear that there are audiences for the off-the-court stories surrounding the sport of basketball. Rather than being a documentary, Winning Time will serve as a fictionalized version of real events and will likely include factual elements, which can appeal to even more viewers.
Johnson doesn't elaborate on why he isn't looking forward to Winning Time, perhaps in an effort to avoid stirring up any controversy prior to the show's release. His reasoning could stem from the fact that he lived through the story, so he doesn't have much interest in watching it play out onscreen. Additionally, since Winning Time is a dramatized retelling of the events , Johnson could be concerned about how he's portrayed in Winning Time.
