It was the debut season of the Winning Time series and the show was able to dramatically and comically tell the story of an important period in NBA history, a team filled with some of the most dramatic characters pro sports have ever seen.

How this fandom is changing entertainment
Documentary style films and series have long been the best way to retell pro sports history. That was evident by the way The Last Dance captivated the world in 2020. However, in 2022, Winning Time may have changed that trend, at least for the Showtime Lakers story. The dramatic retelling was comedic and fresh, and fascinated viewers more than a traditional documentary, even if was because of a little embellishment…or honesty.
Why you should join this fandom
Winning Time perfectly blends sports and entertainment and the series is just getting started. After a tremendous season 1, the series has already been renewed for season 2. There are even talks of the series covering the Shaq and Kobe era. Joining this fandom allows viewers to get their sports and entertainment fix in one comical and dramatic show.
