Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty is a detailed (and over-the-top) account of how the historic NBA franchise established itself as a consistent championship-winning club. The series specifically sheds light on the “Showtime” era of the 1980s, which saw Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and more shine while on the court. While the show has exclusively tackled the ‘80s Laker teams up to this point, one can’t help but think about the possibility of the dramedy reaching Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal’s generation. It’s too early to say if the series will get the chance to cover that material, but that fact isn’t stopping the producers from sharing thoughts on the possibility.
