“#Why Magic Johnson Won’t Be Watching HBO’s L.A. Lakers Series<\/a><\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Magic Johnson is a Los Angeles Lakers legend, but the NBA All-Star isn\u2019t looking forward to HBO\u2019s upcoming series about his former basketball team.<\/p>\n

A TMZ<\/em><\/a> reporter recently asked Johnson if he was excited about Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty<\/em>, the script<\/a>ed drama set to premiere on HBO in March. The highly-respected point guard didn\u2019t exactly beat around the bush when it came to his answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, we got different shows coming out,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI got one, then you got Jeanie Buss got one coming out. Those are the ones I\u2019m looking forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the TMZ<\/em> reporter followed up to find out if the HBO series had Johnson\u2019s blessing, the 10-time NBA champion replied, \u201cWell, like I said, I\u2019m not looking forward to it. I\u2019m gonna leave it at that.\u201d And when asked if he was planning to watch, Johnson gave a firm \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winning Time<\/em> comes from Max Borenstein and Jim Hecht and director\/executive producer Adam McKay and focuses on the Lakers\u2019 successful \u201cShowtime\u201d era in the 1980s. The series stars newcomer Quincy Isaiah as Magic Johnson, alongside John C. Reilly (Moonbase 8<\/em>) as former Lakers owner Jerry Buss.<\/p>\n

As Johnson mentioned, he\u2019s currently working on his own Lakers project for Hulu. The nine-part docuseries, led by director Antoine Fuqua and Lakers\u2019 CEO and controlling owner Jeanie Buss, will feature interviews with coaches and players as it highlights the different phases of the Lakers.<\/p>\n

Jeanie Buss is also working on a Lakers-inspired workplace comedy series for Netflix, from writer Elaine Ko and executive producer Mindy Kaling. The series follows fictional team governor Eliza Reed as she navigates NBA ownership and family drama with her best friend by her side. Netflix has ordered a 10 episode season.<\/p>\n
