DISCLAIMER: We here at Just Another Friday Night in no way support the Los Angeles Lakers organization - we are SAN ANTONIO SPURS fans. 100% through and through. Without a shadow of a doubt. However we are also professional podcasters who can appreciate a great piece of pop culture. The HBO Max series Winning Time: The Rise of the Los Angeles Lakers is in fact just that. It's well written. It's really well acted and it's really really well shot. This show is this years Ted Lasso. It's not the same heart but it is heart. And tragedy and triumph. It's a really fantastic show and def worth the watch. John C. Reilly leads a cast of mostly up and comers and we can promise you that you will soon know their names. We see this one headed to winning all the Emmys and continuing the legacy of winning for the Showtime Lakers of the 80s.
