The Price of ‘Winning Time’
Rabbis Michael Knopf and Jesse Olitzky are lifelong friends, pop culture fanboys, and lovers of all things Jewish. Join them every other week for a conversation about what’s going on in pop culture from a Jewish perspective and about Judaism through the lens of pop culture.
The new HBOMax series ‘Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty,’ from filmmaker Adam McKay (‘Don’t Look Up,’) follows Dr. Jerry Buss (played by John C. Reilly) as he builds the franchise that would dominate and transform the NBA in the 1980’s. In this episode, Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky discuss the show and reflect on the high moral, spiritual, and physical price of the drive to win, and on the relationship between fact and truth in how we talk about our past.
