Super Bowl Spot For The LA Lakers Series WINNING TIME: THE RISE OF THE LAKERS DYNASTY
During the big game this past weekend, a ton of trailers were released for upcoming big films and TV shows. One of the Super Bowl spots that I missed posting was the great-looking new HBO Max series about the Los Angeles Lakers titled Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. So, here it is!
The series is described as “a fast-break series chronicling the professional and personal lives of the 1980s Lakers, one of sports’ most revered and dominant dynasties — a team that defined its era, both on and off the court.”
Winning Time comes from Adam McKay, director of The Big Short and Vice, and it will put a focus on the “rise of basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson and the lengths one man will go in pursuit of securing a basketball dynasty.”
The series features all main athletes and people involved including Quincy Isaiah as Magic Johnson, John C. Reilly as Jerry Buss, Sean Patrick Small as Larry Bird, Sally Field as Jessie Buss, Adrien Brody as Pat Riley, Mike Epps as Richard Pryor, Max E. Williams as Jack Nicholson, Carina Conti as Paula Adbul, Jason Segel as Paul Westhead, Michael Boucher as Jack Curran, Solomon Hughes as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael AG Scott as Butch Lee, Gaby Hoffmann as Claire Rothman, Hadley Robinson as Jeanie Buss, DeVaughn Nixon as Norm Nixon, Molly Gordon as Linda Zafrani, Rob Morgan as Earvin Johnson Sr., Spencer Garrett as Chick Hearn, Kirk Bovill as Donald Sterling, Delante Desouza as Michael Cooper, Stephen Adly Guirgis as Frank Mariani, Tamera Tomakili as Earletha “Cookie” Kelly and Joey Brooks as Lon Rosen.
Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty series will be streaming on HBO Max starting on March 6th, 2022.
