Every Song In Winning Time Season 1
HBO's Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty tells the story of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball dynasty, and goes to great lengths to recreate the feel of 1970s and 80s LA, including a carefully-chosen soundtrack. Winning Time uses a combination of funk, rock, early hip-hop, and other popular music to fill out its soundtrack, as well as an original instrumental score. The soundtrack includes a number of deep-cut classics which viewers may not recognize right away.
Created by Max Borstein and Don't Look Up director Adam McKay, Winning Time is a dramatized version of the Lakers' rise to fame and the connected rise of the NBA and African-American culture. The HBO series stars John C. Reilly as new Lakers owner Jerry Buss and Jason Clarke as coach Jerry West, and introduces Quincy Isaiah as Magic Johnson and Solomon Hughes as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Winning Time's cast also includes a number of notable actors in smaller roles, from Sally Field to Adrien Brody.
