The Los Angeles Lakers never have and likely never will have a public statement of support for the show “Winning Time.” Even as fans seem to thoroughly enjoy the series, the divisiveness amongst former players and those around the Showtime Era pretty much ensures the franchise will remain neutral on the matter.
But that doesn’t mean the Lakers, past and present, aren’t fans of those involved in the series, specifically when it comes to John C. Reilly. The main protagonist of the series, Reilly portrays the late, great Dr. Jerry Buss and has done an excellent job at it.
