From Red Auerbach to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, these are the main characters of Winning Time ranked by how likable they are.
HBO didn’t have to wait for too long after the series finale of Succession to get another great drama series executive produced by Adam McKay. With a similar rapid-fire sense of humor and unique method of chronicling historical events as McKay’s films The Big Short and Vice, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty has been one of the most compelling returning shows of 2023.
The series does not cast Auerbach in a particularly empathetic light, as he is often boastful and enjoys teasing Jerry Buss about the Boston team’s series of successive victories. He serves as a fun, albeit slightly over-the-top antagonist within the second season. 7 Jerry Buss Reilly is one of the most talented actors of his generation, as he’s seamlessly able to switch between comedies and dramas. Buss serves as a compelling narrator throughout both seasons of Winning Time, as he finds hilarious ways to explain the historical context of the series and why the Lakers were so successful. The fourth wall breaking that he does makes the series feel unique compared to other sports dramas.
Magic has a larger-than-life quality that goes beyond his skills at the game; he knows how to work the press, and hype up crowds before big matches. The second season has done a good job at showing Magic take responsibility for the mistakes that he made, which cost his teammates during a major game.
