this show was insanely good, HBO had a generational fumble

Criticizing the 4th wall breaks while making a video with constant unfunny cutaways is ironic

Should have tampered down all the cussing and filth...and been more about the Bird vs Magic rivalry. That would've gotten steady views.

Winning time was one of those cases where the studio gave up on it way too fast rather than work on its short comings.

1:50 what a line. Like Magic, its always good to be positive.

Man you’re so wrong about this, I’d love to debate you any format, any time any place

The 4th wall break ain't an issue for me

Fuck HBO for canceling this show

You were right about the music. First season had several P-Funk songs in it. Second had none. That is why viewership dropped. That, and that alone.

How do you end the series before the Lakers actually beat the Celtics?

whatttttt breaking the fourth wall was my favorite part of the show

I thought season 1 was goated and season 2 was just ok

For me the second season should've ended on Larry Bird and Magic Johnson's Converse commercial shoot, and the two of them becoming friends. The show had built up the animosity between them in the court or a good while (though it could've had more moments off animosity imo), and even developed Bird more for the audience, and knowing the culmination of both of them disliking each other for so long is to become life long friends could've been great. Or they could've ended the show on what it started with, the relationship between Jerry and Ervin. Have the moment where Jerry Buss comforts Magic after he was diagnosed with HIV like he would one of his sons.

This was a great show that needed a long time to develop and didn’t get that chance.

The show was trash

This was sooo damn good and then it was over

I liked it a lot. I was invested. On that last episode I was like… did this get canceled?!

Crazy he even looks like a bird ! I wonder which came first The face or the last name?

It started out well but never in a lot of ways came of kinda ridiculous.

on a fundamental level, HBO should have never considered adapting a book with the same name as their main competitor. it was doomed as soon as they changed the name

I really liked the show. I read the book and knew the people weren’t really like that. It was totally dramatized, but entertaining. The second season was advertised at all. I turned it on one day and it was there. HBO totally screwed that up

Why is Petey from Cecil B Demented not used for Michael Shannon shots in anything ever? 🤣

Jerry West was not an asshole, and I’m a Celtics fan

I think Will Ferrell would have fit to play Phil Jackson better if they would have went that route and lasted longer

Sorry, I thought the fourth wall breaking fit this series because it was already exaggerated to begin with. At least the characters were. It didn't fit Michael Shannon, but it did John c Reilly.

The acting was great and this show had potential. I thought the second season packed to much into it

Man I loved this show. Was so looking forward to them doing the 1985 Lakers in season 3 but then it gets abruptly canceled. I know it wasn't completely 100% historically accurate but it's Hollywood. It's a TV SHOW and I thought they did a pretty damn good job, especially with their reenactment of the 1984 NBA Finals. Remember the Kurt Rambis (great actor) "clothesline?" The actors that portrayed Magic, Kareem and even Bird were fantastic IMO. If only they would have done just ONE more season.

It ended with Boston winning because, BOSTON WON, Larry was a big part of the show as well.

I really dug this show. Was hoping for more

Lebron James is the real tragedy for the Lakers

If 'my opinion' was a review.

I think they made it feel like we was actually there and tbh I feel like a lot of people watched this ( they was just watching illegally 😂) the 4th wall break felt like they actually trying to teach me something mostly for world building

It's hilarious that the show ends with Boston winning. Prefect ending IMO.

I love this show only two season though we got gyped and somebody at HBO must be a Celtics fan for letting it finish with the Celtics winning the Championship cmon now.

I just beat persona 4 golden today and I recognized the music immediately great video btw

Jeanie Buss stated on Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson that she was against Winning time, and Magic Johnson stated the same thing when he too was on their podcast. The actually Lakers players of old didn't want that series to be green lit

I grew up a Lakers fan in the 80's. It just couldn't get into it after I heard all the backlash from all the players and West.

Agree that the final scene is superb....The bigger issue in Part 6 as a whole is that there's very little "bizarre." The weirdness is what makes parts 2-5 so fun, and that just isn't present here. Also, it really didn't need to be 36 episodes. Great stuff on your channel BTW, looking forward to seeing more.

The 4th wall breaks were cool. What went wrong was Jonah Hill’s directing to make it super negative/shitting on Magic’s/people’s personal lives

It really is a difference of opinion I really liked the 4th wall breaks 🤷🏾‍♂️

The show failed because it wanted to be an adult drama AND a crass comedy at the same time. A lot of real life story was changed for the sake of drama, and a lot of real life people were changed for the sake of comedy.

I looked forward to this show every week and I liked the forth wall break.

Personally I love the laundry mat construction montage. The music fits it so well

"like magic it's not always good to be positive" Jesus christ bro lmao

As a Celtics fan, it ending with the C's winning it all over the Lakers in show so heavily biased to the Laker side is PERFECT!!!

I thought this show was dope, Jerry West was funny asf.

Celtics fan here, great ending!

I really enjoyed this show .

The problem with the platform exclusives is it makes it hard for people to access, i stumbled across this show on accident

I quite enjoyed it. West being upset with his portrayal isn't living in reality. If they just showed a boring ass white guy sitting with no expression on his face the entire series, it would have bombed. Making him secretly kind of crazy was a genius move. It kept me wondering what is he going to say/do next every episode viewing. All of the people who complained that they weren't portrayed correctly must not have realized that this wasn't a documentary. It was just entertainment.
