- "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty." 1984 Playoffs Sequence from S2.E6 'beat L.A'
A great sequence from HBO's "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty" Season 2, Episode 6, 'beat L.A' showcasing the 1984 NBA Finals.
The video has been slightly edited.

The actor who played Kareem brought so much dignity to the role. Absolutely nailed it.
His name is Solomon Hughes
I appreciate how the players in the playoffs aren't just generic mooks, they actually look like the teams the Celtics/Lakers beat, even though they're only on screen for like a second. The chubby mustache guy is Jeff Ruland, the shaggy blond Dallas point guard is Brad Davis, Marques Johnson looks like Marques Johnson, etc.
That motherfucker they hired to play James Worthy looked just like him.
Too bad the facts of the series are actually wrong and sensationalized
Holy shit that actor has Birds jumper down pat!
The turnaround is even better. It's uncanny!
I Can't Fucking Believe they canceled this show!
Ratings people.
They said everything that needed to be said . They balled they won
What more is needed ?
@@daveyboy_the entire decade of the 80s and until the end of the Showtime Lakers in the early 90s and the rise of the bad boy Pistons and Michael Jordan
@GKram13 yeah let's make a series on everything that happened. In fact, let's do a series on every yr . Of the NBA cause ya know what good is it live when we can have actors do it
How the heck did hbo cancel this
Silver made the call....
Not enough people watched. They warned the producers before the second season. That’s why the ending was so truncated.
wasn't woke enough
Honestly, the show sucks. I tried to get into it but it’s just not worth the investment. Sure, the clips of basketball sequences are very cool with them highlighting all the players from that era but the truth is these scenes make up only a very small part of the series. Most of the show delves into the Buss family and the relationship between Jerry and Jeanie Buss and the other children, and Jerry Buss and his love interests. It’s slow and boring and takes up way too much time. Also, none of it is interesting.
@@jjones9822you didn't watch s2 prick its the opposite of your statement in s2
best scene 👏
We really live in a horrible world when shows like this and Inside Job get cancelled for no real reason.
I'm not a basketball fan by any means but I thought his whole show (S1 and S2) was awesome! This scene here is by far my all time favorite for some reason. Happy to find it here. Thanks!
Just imagine this show, but instead of the drama is just SLAM DUNK live action. Thats a 10/10
🔥
Larry bird's character is awesomely funny on this show..😂
My favorite was when he told McHale to "stop staring at the fucking floor"
I actually hate it. But I love Mr 🐦
1:00 I love how the music coincides with Magic's awed expression. It's like the showrunners are telling the audience, "On your marks, get set . . ."
There have been many NBA legends that in their entire NBA careers had never had the chance to play in the NBA Championship like Bob Lanier, Dave Bing, "Pistol" Pete Maravich, Connie Hawkins and Lou Hudson to name a few.
At least Hawkins did win an ABA championship in 1968.
Magic "Hell Yeah" Johnson.
They show the John Coltrane masterpiece Blue Train for a second in Kareem's hands.
I didn't know it had a season 2. I think that is the reason for the cancellation. No one knew, at least not nearly as many who knew season 1 was on its way
Best series ever!!!! 🏀🏀🏀🏀
My only gripe with this show is them incorporating today's slang into dialect from 1981. No one was screaming "Let's gooo" at the top of their lungs or saying "I gotchoo" back then. Other than that, loved most of the characters (didn't care about Cookie) and loved the way it was filmed.
What would they have said instead? I was a kid in the 80s and I wasn’t able to catch that error like you did.
@@conbrio27 The thing is, you were a KID in the 80s. These guys were supposed to be born in the 40s 50s and 60s
People shouted Let’s goooo back then what are you talking about?
Nice detail: the Lakers play on the left side of the court, the Celtics on the right side. This is a reversal of the old filmmaking trick - the antagonists come from the left, and the protagonists on the right.
Even thought it was Bird v. Magic, I'm not surprised it was canceled! Not easy to transition a real-life sports rivalry into a TV series with appeal beyond the sport. Even when taking liberties with some real-life scenes to snag the average, non-sports viewer.
Good stuff
Also in this video, the Kings were referred to as the Kansas City Kings and not Sacramento until the 1985-1986 season.
Can't believe this show was cancelled! Shame on you, HBO!
I was hoping they would keep going till MJ would come.. sad to see an amazing show go. HBO did them wrong
Wish we have see more of McHale, Parish and Big Game James.
This Show not supposed to be that good! 😂
I ❤

First of all, that game between the Lakers and the Jazz where Kareem Abdul-Jabbar broke Wilt's scoring record was at UNLV. Second during this sequence, Larry Bird in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals was having huge problems with Bernard King and the New York Knicks and it took seven games to send Bernard King and the Knicks on summer vacation. Third, a new enemy of the Detroit Pistons was starting their rise (we will see Showtime vs. Motor City Madness later).
Amazing show.. wtf
If magic didn’t clap so much I would watch this with my parents but then again somehow it’s cancelled
That coach looks like Fredo not Pat Riley
You broke my heart!!!!
Amazing speech from the Captain. Quite the opposite from the current "face" of the Lakers who says "It's just basketball".
WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN IS USED WAAAAY TO MUCH. 😅😅😅
Kareem was bald LMAO 🤣
lou cinder
As much as I love this show, it's probably for the best it got canceled after two seasons. If it went any longer they would have just ended up f****** it up anyway
With the opening sequence of the show being Magic's HIV results, it would have been nice for them to finish what they were setting up
The basketball sequences aren't that good. Hard to replicate larry bird but geez.
The match cuts were awesome
There is a reason that the director of Hoosiers hired basketball players, not actors, and limited their dialogue. It's tough to for actors to--as you say--replicate the fluidity of professional athletes. Have you seen Tim Robbins in Bull Durham?
Use 80s music ,there is a ton thats more than adequate, instead we get 60s and 70s same 15 or songs used ,this music doesnt fit for the time, this is Magics Lakers vs Birds Celtics ,the epitome of ,a main cog of 80s history, use the music of that decade, i mean whats next ,same ole stones ,moody blues, Doors etc. I love those bands but let them represent their time, i know its a wierd complaint but really get sick of the same boomer songs ,this is Gen X time and the tunes are just as good but with even more diversity, hell i say from the Police to Metallica to NWA and Run DMC to 80s VanHalen and AC/DC and even the New Wave crap a lot to choose from and no reaching into the grundge ,the lazy gen x music yet either,thats another rant
ASHKA NAZI NOSE
I dont like the cultural appropriation of this movie- black ppl should make their own sport.
Interesting perspective
