winning timeHBO’s series about Adam McKay’s Lakers dynasty brings the California sun back home with a new trailer.
Adam McKay recently told us about a meteorite that hurtled toward Earth in his Don’t Look Up: Cosmic Denial. On this occasion, the impact will be that of the round ball in the NBA basket, sinceA trailer for his HBO series about the Lakers just arrived, Time to win: The rise of the Lakers dynasty (broadcast in France by OCS).
The series should show the meteoric rise of the Lakers during the 1980s in the American supreme league. The hiring of Magic Johnson by millionaire Jerry Buss and his daughter Jeanie will be followed by a decade of disproportionate success with no less than 5 titles obtained during 9 NBA finals between 1979 and 1991. The Lakers will get the nickname “Showtime” during this period.for his dazzling, if not spectacular, attack.
Almost 3 minutes of entertainment are on the program in this fun trailer. which is full of colorful material and characters. Music, graininess in the image, multiple references to basketball history (for example to the career of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), everything is there to reproduce the tension around the future empire of the Lakers under the Californian sun of Los Angeles.
It’s hard not to put on the shirt before an exceptional cast that will make John C. Reilly (Magnolia, Boogie Nights) the millionaire and new owner of the Lakers Jerry Buss, Quincy Isaiah (Corporate Coffee) the prodigy Magic Johnson, or Solomon Hughes center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, another asset of the Lakers.
