Has it been greenlit for Season 3? If not, that is likely why. In addition, it looks like the focus of the show is LAK vs BOS in the finals, so fast forwarding through to the 1984 Celts win this season kind of makes sense. Neither LAK or BOS had a real rivalry with the Sixers, even though they were a fantastic team as well.

It is crazy to see how successful the LAK have been since the Buss family took over (summer of 1979) in NBA Finals - starting with a Year 1 win in 1980, they have appeared in 17 NBA Championships and won 11. Lebron needs to pick it up - he is the only one ring LAK superstar during that span...............

Not a good first episode to me. Also not sure why they’d choose a season Magic is hurt and the team doesn’t make the playoffs. That’s not Winning Time.

They are leading up to 1984, which we know was winning time for the Celtics, not the Lakers........

There's a saying that you're not wealthy until you make your 1st million, lose it and then make it again.

You have to learn lose to become a championship level winner. :wink:

They're building tension.

If you are a fan of the Magic and Larry Bird rivalry tonight`s episode may be the best of this series.

This show might be the remedy for those who have grown bored with the Marvel Disney Plus shows.

 

Outstanding.

The 'hero's journey'.   Struggle, failure, redemption, determination, thats part of what makes for a satisfying story.    

Not all this handed-to-you-on-a-plate Disney storylines we keep seeing bombing at the box office.
