Spoilers for the season premiere of Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, “One Ring Don't Make a Dynasty,” lie ahead.
Winning Time made its highly anticipated return to HBO for its second season this weekend and quickly dropped viewers back into the world of Dr. Jerry Buss and the “Showtime” Lakers. This was an eventful premiere, as it tackled Magic Johnson’s injury ahead of the ‘80-’81 season, introduced the new (and not-so-improved) coach Paul Westhead and provided a brief glimpse at the 1984 NBA Finals. Aside from the basketball-related drama, there was also some tension amongst the Buss family. I’m talking about that heated family Monopoly scene, and cast members John C. Reilly and Hadley Robinson got candid with us about what it was like filming that moment.
