Winning Time Foreshadows Donald Sterling’s NBA Controversy
The Donald Sterling NBA controversy has already been foreshadowed in HBO's Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty episode 1. The series mainly focuses on the Los Angeles Lakers taking on a new culture under owner Jerry Buss (John C. Reilly) during the 1980s, as the franchise's future is changed by drafting Earvin 'Magic' Johnson, played by Quincy Isaiah. Although this becomes a very successful era for the Lakers, Winning Time isn't shying away from highlighting some of the controversies that arise in the future.
