Winning Time: Rise of the Lakers Dynasty S2 preview
Iconic rivalries. The quest for sporting greatness. Grab a courtside seat and witness one of the most thrilling periods in basketball history for Wining Time: Rise of the Lakers Dynasty season 2, which follows the changing fortunes of the L.A. Lakers through the 1980s.
Executive produced by Adam McKay (Succession), created by Max Borenstein and based on the book by American sportswriter Jeff Pearlman, Winning Time charts the Lakers 1980s Showtime era and the determination of owner Jerry Buss (John C. Riley) to secure their place in NBA history. Instrumental to this? Crushing their opponents the Boston Celtics.
We last saw “Magic” Johnson (Quincy Isaiah) lead his team to NBA championship victory in 1980 after eight years of crushing defeat. But they'll need more than one win to secure their legacy.
Season 2 will chart the Laker’s triumphs and tribulations over the course of the 1981 to 1984 NBA seasons: a time filled with incident like the firing of coach Paul Westhead (Jason Segel) and his replacement by Pat Riley (Academy Award-winner Adrian Brody), family power struggles for control of the Buss Empire, and the beginning of a decade-long rivalry between Magic Johnson and Larry “Legend” Bird (Sean Patrick Small), star player of the Laker’s sworn enemies, the Celtics.
Commanding a charismatic ensemble and dynamic drama on and off the court, this is one rousing sports drama that will have viewers on their feet cheering – basketball fans or not. Read our guide below for how to watch Winning Time: Rise of the Lakers Dynasty season 2 online now.
