For a medium that is all about creating and maximizing drama, the cinema spectacularly falls short of replicating the drama of an actual game. Every. Single. Time. What an absolute joke of a scene. Zero drama whatsoever.
I couldn’t get into the tone of this show but the actually basketball action always looks good

Hollywood, baby. Over-dramatize everything.

In real time you can see he actually had a great look, just bricked it. Fuck The System!

Magic won a ring and was the Finals MVP the next year.

This show is so corny but so good at the same time. I feel like I’m watching the men’s version of sex in the city or some shit

This is why I can’t take any fucking TV series or movie seriously, it’s so fake it’s like watching fucking anime. That little nod “Magic” gave to the coach 🤮🤮🤮. And how you hear the sneakers squeaking and the players grunting as if a single fucking player would be able to hear that over the crowd… which 90% doesn’t make a single noise for god knows what reason. This shit is laughably bad. It’s so fucking obvious not a single basketball fan or player actually had any input in this shit.
Edit: just looked it up, and yep, they didn’t get the opinion or insight from a *single* Laker player, coach, or staff member. It’s embarrassing when it’s that noticeable from a fucking 20 second clip on reddit. Everyone who made this should fucking feel ashamed, and anyone that likes it doesn’t actually like basketball, they like drama and storylines. What a fucking joke. I called it a 20 second clip cuz I had to stop watching it and couldn’t make it to 25 seconds due to how absolutely cringey it was, holy shit.

LOL the re-enactment makes it seem like every Laker was open.

Quincy does not look good this season. I don’t know if he gained weight or I didn’t notice as much last season but he looks awful in uniform and it’s become distracting.

You should do more side by side comparisons!

Winning Time is such a great time! I highly recommend it, Season 2 is awesome! I really hope we get a Season 3, please!

Winning Time is my favorite thing on TV right now and it’s a shame that it is [apparently on the chopping block at HBO](https://twitter.com/jeffpearlman/status/1697150902782857627), according to the author of the book it’s based on.
That Houston team went on to go to the finals eventually losing to the Celtics. Moses Malone was a beast
Wait which one is from the show, the top or the bottom?
Top is from the show right?
He missed because he didnt follow the system

What a bum, Curry would never.
I been meaning to watch this but wow that was like a nauseating amount of cuts
I like this show. I really hope it gets renewed.
Kenny Smith had hair?
