After a long, long, long wait, the trailer for “Winning Time,” the HBO series centering on Dr. Jerry Buss and the Showtime Lakers dropped on Thursday morning. And holy crap does it look great. Starring John C. Reilly — yes that John C. Reilly — as Dr. Jerry Buss and relative newcomer Quincy Isaiah as Magic Johnson, the first look at the show should have every Lakers fan remarkably excited.
The show looks to focus on not just the Showtime Lakers, but how they were built, including drafting Johnson, who also appears to be one of the main stars of the show.
