The acclaimed series Winning Time, from the Los Angeles Lakers broadcast on HBO, already has 14 episodes on the air and the response from the public has been spectacular, since it deals with the wonderful stage of the Californian team in the 80s with Magic Johnson and Kareem Ambdul- Jabbar at the head of the team.
In his second season, Johnson has many problems with coach Paul Westhead (Jason Segel), as he was not happy with his “system” and asked to be traded from the franchise that had offered him a lifetime contract for 25 years and $25 million. .
The second season of Winning Time is coming, an essential series for any sports fan, not just the NBA. Magic and the Lakers. Showtime on and off the pitch. And the rivalry with the Celtics, pffff. ????????⭐????pic.twitter.com/PM8Q2E36s6

Westhead won a title in Season 1 with Pat Riely (Adrien Brody) as the two took over coaching responsibilities left over from former manager Jack McKinney (Tracy Letts), but never felt like it was his team.
It is for this reason that Johnson declared to the media that he was not happy with coach Westhead in 1981 and asked to be traded, as he was not happy under the coach’s bet and wanted to have more liberties on the pitch.
The series has been a huge success with the story of Jerry Buss’s purchase of the franchise and his interesting bets in his early years as owner. It can be seen through the HBO platform, which is by subscription.
