Winning Time documentary is based on the rise of the Lakers dynasty, including the legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The documentary included Jerry Buss’ decisions that lead to the formation of a super team. While the doc was a hit and received positive feedback from the viewers, there were some flaws in the series.
